I wish to abolish capitalism
And now you have fascism
https://en.prolewiki.org/wiki/Fascism
Fascism is a feature of capitalism. Fascism is when capitalism goes mask-off. It abolishes bourgeois democracy without abolishing bourgeois rule itself.

Yes, a rectangle isn’t necessarily a square, however given the genie understands Marxism and would probably be malicious, it would do some insane shit and make a completely different economic system.
Fascism is capitalism in decay. That said, you’re right a genie would be more malicious. They’d probably put us back in some pre-capitalist formation that’s worse or some dystopia.
Yeah but what to do instead? The slave economies of the past weren’t exactly a blast (of course there is still a lot of slavery now). Feudalism had it’s pros and cons; at least the proletarians owned their property.
I haven’t heard of any stunningly brilliant and new economic systems being invented…
You go on a memes community of a communist instance and ask what economic system we’d have instead of capitalism?
Lol. I honestly didn’t notice the instance before commenting. But I’m glad to have learned some new perspectives.
I find it deeply funny that you’re using the Marxist conception of the stages of history while pretending not to know what Marxism is
I haven’t heard of any stunningly brilliant and new economic systems being invented…
You haven’t heard of any because they aren’t profitable, and so all capitalist propaganda is geared towards demonizing those systems or those who vouch for it, or denying they exist altogether.
This is a socialist instance. We believe a planned economy managed by all workers is the only way for all people to have a dignified life. An example of this would be Cuba. In Cuba housing, food, education and healthcare are rights, to the point it has a higher life expectancy than the US, lower child mortality rate, and basically no homelessness. All under a 60+ year embargo by the US that is a mere 90 miles away.
-you said proletarians owning things and existing under feudalism
One of my wishes would be that you understand historical materialism so you don’t embarrass yourself so badly again
I’d probably wish for dipmaism
