The working solution is Marxism, that’s the antidote to capitalism and the ideologies that prop it up.
I agree with that, Liberalism as an ideology exists to justify capitalist relations and protect property rights. The mistake people make is in thinking that Liberalism is somehow progressive to begin with.
In practice, it’s like a coin with two very different sides. On one face, you’ve got political liberalism that’s all about individual freedoms, fair elections, and human rights. This is the feel-good stuff that’s used to market Liberalism and make it seem universally appealing.
But flip that coin over and you get economic liberalism, which is really just capitalism wearing a fancy philosophical mask. This side worships markets, treats private property as sacred, and assumes wealth accumulation is basically a human right. Since property rights are seen as the foundation of all other freedoms, the system effectively locks in wealth inequality by making redistribution seem like theft.
That’s why liberals lose their minds whenever governments impinge on the rights of the rich or regulate corporations. In their worldview, any limit on property rights is a threat to freedom itself.
I thought this was a great take on the whole thing

☆ Yσɠƚԋσʂ ☆@lemmy.mlto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Do you browse hexbear or have an account in hexbear?14·2 days agoIt’s a really convenient narrative based on the fallacy of homogenizing Ukraine. Let’s take a look at a few slides from this lecture that Mearsheimer gave back in 2015 to get a bit of background on the subject. Mearsheimer is certainly not pro Russian in any sense, and a proponent of US global hegemony. First, here’s the demographic breakdown of Ukraine:
here’s how the election in 2004 went:
this is the 2010 election:
As we can clearly see from the voting patterns in both elections, the country is divided exactly across the current line of conflict. Furthermore, a survey conducted in 2015 further shows that there is a sharp division between people of eastern and western Ukraine on which economic bloc they would rather belong to:
