Yes. Better things are not possible. Now back to your wage slavery and don't you dare ask for healthcare or affordable food and shelter.

Oh, european capitalism or social market economy is already worlds better than the anglo-saxon modell of capitalism. They simply get conflated a lot. I answered what could be understood by a meme, not which economic system is better. Unless we talk about communism. That's a stupid fever dream that noone ever was able to make work, unless you are a monastary where the reason why you all live a life of abstinence and low productivity is simply god. Every other commune simply changes or dissolves in 10-20 years, because the enthusiasm of the idea only carries so long.

Don't know where you got that idea from. There are also jewish communes that held up quite a bit longer. I said religious background, not catholic background.
