And it is rising everywhere also across Europe and the rest of the World! Hardly surprising given the mess we are in from the pandemic panic caused by covid.

The difference is democracy vs authoritatinism now., the economic argument has long since been won by capitalism. If it's an economic argument I would prefer to call it 'Greed' or 'sharing.'

Communist economics was a total failure, so conflating that idea with "sharing" is terrible propaganda for trying to move away from the system we have now to something fairer.

Anna B Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 Communism is a failed entity, but sharing is a means of survival that's been going on since year dot. I see you haven't commented on the other side of the coin. Greed. The greed that is permeating this world is going to be the death of us all, except for those at the very very top of the pyramid. It needs to be sorted. There is no 'trickle down' any more if those at the top don't pay their full taxes. They just get richer and everyone else suffers.
