So, this is the back aisle of some old Coles somewhere in rural Queensland?
(That's a Coles sign describing whatever is in the next aisle)
I'm guessing they're out of toilet paper? What's the context of the photo?
Leaving aside the "socialism/capitalism" thing for a moment, is there something going on in Queensland leading to shortages of something? Or is this guy using a photo from 2020?

This is the sane response of a normal person. But sanity has near zero engagement. Soooo, obscure and unrelated macro-economic debates it is! Yay!!! 🙌

I wish people would realize it is neither socialism nor capitalism that leads to empty food shelves, but a lack of democracy.

Capitalism inevitably concentrates more wealth in fewer hands, it is fundamentally anti-democratic by design

I'm no advocate for capitalism, but right now the most democratic countries on earth are ones that you would probably label "capitalist", although I would say they are more accurately labelled "mixed economies".
But again the problem isn't the economic system that leads to the lack of food. It's how much you concentrate power in the hands of a few people.

I mean, that is why the Athenians used to tax the shit out of their upper class.

and rights. pure democracy has its own issues. You need to spell out the rules that are not debatable.

Capitalism is when the food on the shelves is expensive. Socialism is when the food is cheap but there's none on the shelf.

Whats being mocked here is the same conclusion you're reaching though, “socialism is when empty shelves.”

I'm afraid the joke is on anyone who replied to eyekaytea. They seem to he a known downvote farmer around these parts. For as much sense as that makes on a platform with no karma score

It would seem so. I just read a little more, I guess they have some sort of chip on their shoulder for the fediverse and this is them taking their revenge. There was a manifesto. Riveting stuff.

"I went to Cuba once and stubbed my toe. Socialism is when people stub their toe" ^ This is you. This is what you sound like.

It does sound suspiciously like "stop complaining, it could be worse", though.

I saw a post breaking down how that Saxony election in a 'first past the post' electoral system would have delivered all but like three seats to AFD on only ~42% of the vote.
Ueybmore evidence that its the preferential voting system for the representative win!
Too bad places like Britain and most of the US won't pull their fingers out on this system flaw.
Eyekaytee@aussie.zone · -2 pts · 14d
100%!
Preferential voting, superannuation, universal healthcare, as bad as things can be I'm pretty happy I live in Australia!
