no, lol. just because capitalism is not implemented does not mean living standards will increase. i simply said, our form, has directly enslaved other people along with extorting other nations. yes, other forms of political economy have done the same thing.
you see, retards like you dont understand there is really no difference between absolute state power or absolute corporate power, micro or macro, (ie corporatism) or a corporate state.
within leninism, workers would piss on themselves because they cant take a bathroom break, or if they tried to unionize, they get thrown in prison for 10 years. and now in china, our corporations have taken over part of their state, ie globalization.(capitalist reforms to put it lightly). and guess what, people are still pissing on themselves and if they unionize, they get thrown in prison for 10 years.
whats ironic, capitalism that is totally laissez fair has never been tried. ie no protection of or intervention from the state on any level. this means complete economic anarchy.
i dont know if capital could exist without state power and protection through police, irs, tax law, copyright law, military, etc. this is not a free market. its also not a free market if you dont allow unions to respond. its hypocritical. because you are not allowing free association for other people.
