I was just in Denmark recently and it seems like that’s what they have: a capitalist society but regulated by very socialist policies like (really) high taxes. Makes sense to me - I’m probably just not using the right terminology.

They’re all ‘one-party states’ aren’t they?
Opposite of democracy… so whether they work well economically is irrelevant, since you’re relying on the party not to become totalitarian. 😬

Socialism yes. I’ve always thought that capitalism regulated with socialist policies is the way forward. That way you can still encourage entrepreneurs to get going.
But we’re still left with the r > g problem (money attracts more money).
Communism is the extreme end of socialism isn’t it? And I’ve always thought that extremes never work. Extremism is a circle…
I’m open to being educated on this though…
Serious question: has communism ever been proved to work at scale? (not communist regimes, the communist ideology)

The touch screen didn’t work immediately, I had to search up for a command line solution to that. But most won’t face that if they flash onto other (non-Surface) hardware.

According to Ray Dalio, you’re right - that is what it will take: revolution or a major war https://youtu.be/BB2r_eOjsPw

How about (instead of communism) aiming for an economy made up predominantly of co-operatives, like in the Basque country in Spain? The Mondragon federation of co-ops.
That way money is distruted quite evenly but you don’t have to get into the whole politics thing.

Hopefully the EU can increase its support to compensate.

I’ve not seen this type of logging in issue within the Mastodon ‘world’ because no one’s ever ‘sent me a link from another instance and then I tried to log on from that link’ 😂. I just tried it on an inprivate browser window and of course it’s the same as what I found here with Lemmy - as you described. With Mastodon I’m on the .social instance and I can see and interact with posts from any other instance - but after your explanation I realise that’s because the content was alwasy served up from within the instance.
[I agree that with ActivityPub we certainly cannot expect to log in with the same handle *between *services (i.e. use your Mastodon handle to log in to Lemmy). Although that would be cool. Persistent IDs across the fediverse would be the dream imho (like Nostr does it).]

For Hitler and Nazi Germany it certainly was a way to prepare for expansionist wars: https://www.richardjevans.com/lectures/autarky-fantasy-reality/
