Are you sure it's possible because of toxic ideology, or despite it? I may want to see the math on that.
You can't think why people interested in collective benefit and free dissemination of tools, while rejecting free markets and the profit motive, might have some meaningful overlap with believing in socialism?
There are endless positive but fundamentally dysfunctional ideologies. Anything which doesn't address how large populations behave is dysfunctional.
This is so vague that itβs meaninglessness.
That's why a system like China's is the only sensible one for a large country in the present world order - leaving important things up to unregulated markets and media is an abdication of responsibility.
