   @azphilosopher @JeremyMallin -- Any and all economic systems and ideologies are corrupted by greed. Doesn't matter if it is communism, socialism, capitalism, or any blended system you want to cite. The idea that you won't have corruption in the right system fails to understand this, like it is magic once you get the balance right.

     @jeffowski @azphilosopher @JeremyMallin Greed comes from material conditions. We live in #capitalism, which is very much based on hoarding capital and greediness, so ofc you’d think that that’s how everything is going to be. #Socialism is just a transition period from capitalism to #communism, which is a classless, stateless and moneyless society. No greed there, as it doesn’t have a ground to grow on.
