That's not socialism. That's socdem. And it's still capitalism

I don't think you understand what I have said. React.js would be possible without capitalism. But it is made by Facebook (capitalist company). And it must be a really reliable choice if Facebook and Mastodon decided to use it

Free market is a democracy. That's awesome you support small business and if more people were doing the same thing I can guarantee that big corporations wouldn't be a problem.
Another really important factor are regulations. Capitalism right now is way to regulated which makes it really difficult for small businesses to exist. On the other hand big corporations are not regulated enough tho.
We should work on existing system, try to improve it rather than change it to totally different.
Also if you wanted to make a switch to socialism you would have to rob a lot of people from their private property

Maybe I'm just a shitty person but I can easily tell which topic here is more interesting.
It is important to know what is happening with immigrants too tho

Wow. Read the rest of the thread because I'm not gonna rewrite stuff.
But as I was saying. I live in post communist country and the influence of socialism was extraordinarily destructive and I can see damage made from it to these days.

If you seriously compare socialism with opensource then I'm sorry for you.
I'm huge advocate for opensource software and I can even say it's my life passion and I really know how important the relation between capitalism and opensource is.
You wouldn't have react.js without capitalism. You know what is made in react.js? Mastodon
They could have used different library for js. one made totally by volunteers, but they haven't. Why? Capitalism and opensource provide reliable products because there is a money factor and it fuels development

Do you have any example of working socialism?

huge part of opensource is funded and developed by capitalistic companies. Take Linux for example.
And imagine if you wanted to open your own coffee shop. Where would you get a place for it? From the state probably. But what if they decide that there is no need for new coffee shop? You would have problem. In capitalism on the other hand you have your free will and as long as you have money you can open your coffee shop anytime anywhere. I know it's not really as easy to make money but if capitalism isn't broken by stupid regulations and other nonsense it really can work, allowing you to take cheap loans and start your own businesses.
I live in a post communist country and trust me I know how shitty socialism is

It's not media's fault that people don't give a shit about immigrants. They write about stuff that people are willing read

In socialism nobody wants to work so good luck with your YouTube. There is a reason for proprietary software being most popular and often more feature rich. What we need is capitalism + more opensource work from us, regular people. Capitalism + opensource is way to go.
