Yes, a controlled dismantlement would be better than collapse, and proletarian revolution would be best, but currently there's not much prospects for either of those, so:

“There were two “Reigns of Terror,” if we would but remember it and consider it; the one wrought murder in hot passion, the other in heartless cold blood; the one lasted mere months, the other had lasted a thousand years; the one inflicted death upon ten thousand persons, the other upon a hundred millions; but our shudders are all for the “horrors” of the minor Terror, the momentary Terror, so to speak; whereas, what is the horror of swift death by the axe, compared with lifelong death from hunger, cold, insult, cruelty, and heart-break? What is swift death by lightning compared with death by slow fire at the stake? A city cemetery could contain the coffins filled by that brief Terror which we have all been so diligently taught to shiver at and mourn over; but all France could hardly contain the coffins filled by that older and real Terror—that unspeakably bitter and awful Terror which none of us has been taught to see in its vastness or pity as it deserves.” ― Mark Twain, A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court

Goooooood luuuuck with that under the dicatorship of capital.

I don’t get why capital gains get taxed less than income

I mean entire system is even called CAPITALISM, what's unclear about it?

Good thing for the jacobin that they are not red, not that the pinko imperialists get spared too.

Not in USA, they tested nuclear bombs on humans, in Japan and Bikini atoll.

Nice of you to support slavery and serfdom.

That's different question though on the census, about nationality of Polish citizens. Most of numbers of minorities with citizenship in Poland are Polish minorities who were born in Poland. Like Silesians who are not even officially considered minority and still half million of them wrote that in (in reality there's at probably around a million of them since once the census bureau included them despite government not wanted to admit them at all). And even let's say Polish Germans, Belorussians and Ukrainians (at least those 80000 mentioned in this census) are also living here for generations due to how frequently borders changed in last two centuries.

Polish state is also relentlessly engaging in polonisation of minorities since 1918.

Under capitalism it would be laughably easy to circumvent, and even in premise it is flawed because it would only target the small number of top CEO's.

The truly rich does not even recive wages.

This does not count Ukrainians for Poland though, even for 2022 before war there were much more of them than 2%, possibly as many as 3 million and that went up in years included here.

"Blinken said" is not an evidence. We all seen how much is his word worth when he blocked recognition of human rights violation in Palestine that would stop US weapon shipments. His mouth is a septic tank and people were hanged in Nuremburg for less.

I seen them once or twice? Not much overlap i guess. Yogthos on the other hand provided like half the content for entire lemmy before the reddit exodus.

First would be Yogthos, but i wouldn't use the word "briefly" here

Third is definitely me. But i don't think there could be any level of fondness for cats that could even be described as "excessive"
