Christina Elson, the executive director of the Center for the Study of Capitalism at Wake Forest University, told Business Insider that many young people had embraced an idea she calls “safety capitalism.”
Ah yes, the executive director for the center for the study of capitalism says young folks want capitalism.
Come the fuck on.
Lol “safety capitalism” the editors wouldn’t even let them say socialist. Just the state of the world in 2024 -fight harder, people. I personally can’t handle what this shit does to my blood pressure anymore
The lack of safety net is a feature of late-stage capitalism, not a flaw.
It was also a feature of early stage capitalism. But instead of analysing features, it’s better to orginize and fight for political change
Exactly, but my point is their view isn’t big enough, it’s the entire system that facilitates this to be the case. We need political change on a foundational level, like getting rid of 2 senators per state and the electoral college.
I agree with you in principle, but honestly, if we can get countries like the U.S. in the same position as Scandinavia in terms of a social safety net, that would be such a vast improvement over the status quo and it would be far easier to achieve.
Yep, I don’t understand this. Do people really think the euro countries aren’t built upon capitalism?
safety capitalism has to be the most absurd stand in for socialism or welfare I’ve ever heard lmao
Really reaching new levels of copium
those other words have been coopted by the right so i get it
I wouldnt say stand in for socialism unless they’re talking about socilism. It sounds like they’re talking about capitalism with social benefits.
Who comes up with these words? Boomers inventing their own propaganda
This is the stupidest article I’ve ever read.
That’s not a safety net they are looking for, that’s pay me while I fuck off and spend on credit for 20 years.
