    Australian animals.

    Americans are the absolute worst at it and it’s just so stupid. Yes we have poisonous snakes and spiders, so does America.

    We have more of them than America, yes.

    You know what we don’t have? Large predators. You can go walking in the bush in Australia and you might see one of the most dangerous snakes in the world. You know what you do? You don’t fuck with it and continue on with your business.

    You’re walking in America and oh, you’ve just stumbled across one of the multiple species of bears, coyotes, wolves, cougars etc. Animals that may chase you down and maul you. It’s not even a competition.

    And you, as an American, might say ‘oh but you pretty much never see them’. Yeah same with dangerous snakes etc in Australia.

      I’ve always suspected people conflate communism with dictators, which is the main cause of distrust for anything anti-capitalism.

      Are there any examples of a nation successfully transitioning out of capitalism without ending up in a dictatorship? I want to believe it can be done, but I have no idea what it would look like.
