Wealth redistribution is good. Socialism definitely could end up being better than capitalism with the right implementation and regulations. A socialist revolution is a bad idea; wealth redistribution can be implemented in capitalism. Lobbying is real, but voting still makes a difference. Vote in more than just the presidential election and canvas for issues or politicians you support. Thank you for coming to my ted talk.

That’s what capitalists want you to think.
wealth redistribution can be implemented in capitalism.
we have been trying everywhere for decades, and inequality is only getting worse. it really can’t.
voting is doing almost nothing if you really examine the policies put by most politicians, even most of the ones claiming to be progressive.
thats because we can only go so far within capitalism, and changing the players of the game will not do much while the game itself has glaring flaws.
progress isnt a continous upward climb in the short term. In the 90s crime shot up and no gay marriage soooo. We can definitely go farther with capitalism like with higher taxes on the rich, minimum base income, etc. Voting does matter, if you dont vote you have no leverage over those who speak for you.
no point of going farther with oppression, when we obviously reached its limits. shit, we are headed towards hell on earth because capitalism cannot deal with that.
you want to vote then go vote, and invariably when they do jack shit, wait 4 more years.
