You’re right, it’s not some panacea. It’s part of a spectrum that helps keep the overton window away from corporate oligarchy. By effectively banning communism and socialism for couple of decades Americans got left with corporate democracy and corporate oligarchy as the only choices.
In all cases, the inability of the vast majority to stand up to a very small minority is the crux of the problem.
Psychopathic narcissists will find their way to the top of any power structure if there aren’t ways to actively prevent that or stifle it when it inevitably starts to happen.
Don’t know if that’s even possible. I suspect not.
Europe is kind of a possibility, we can have an outlier (like Orbàn) without it all crumbling down because we are so many. The system must change slow enough so that a human doesn’t have time to change it enough. And rock solid institutions I guess.
I don’t know that it’s as clean as this makes it sound.
Obviously communism was made to be the boogeyman. But it’s not some panacea.

Yeah that’s what I think too.
