I lived in one which ostensibly did not prioritize profits and it sucked. We didn't even have pizza at all, no joke. Pizza wasn't part of the five-year plan, after all.
Where?
Soviet satellite.
I bet there is something in between Late Stage Capitalism USA and past soviet "communism" where workers aren't being exploited.
Edit: how are you liking America and the pizza? Just assuming you've moved somewhere that prioritizes profits so you can enjoy them and the pizza.
From the systems we've seen the European / Nordic model seems like the best compromise that has been tried so far.
I like pizza very much, thanks for asking. In general, I liked US, the natural beauty and diversity of the West is stunning. I also liked the vibe of the people. Public transportation sucks for the most part.
Exactly. Now stand firm against the "we can't have that here [because made up x y and z reasons]" clowns that will tell you it isn't possible in any other country.
We know it's possible. Especially for the richest nation in the world. The issue is that the richest nation in the world has been bought by the powerful elite and doesn't give a single fuck about the people, because capitalism is busy making shareholders rich.
They still exchange currency for goods and services in Norway. Hell they even pump oil offshore. The difference is that that oil profit literally goes to the benefit of the people.
