    Assuming you mean preserving capitalism but increasing social safety nets, I disagree. The “nicer” social democracies all rely on imperialism to fund their safety nets, and are subject to the same dictatorial control capital has in capitalist systems. Moving beyond systems dominated by capital into ones where we collectively plan and direct production for the satisfaction of need is a historic necessity, and one economically compelled by the centralization and monopolization of capitalism over time.
