The opposite, we end capitalism. We really can’t expect to carry the scorpion across the lake without repeatedly being stung. There are many political branches that tells us how it could be, and even some that have been applied in the real world with varying degrees of success but generally, we need to start working amongst ourselves like we used to do in the past and remove those actually in power, not only their squabbling representatives every election. It’s about time. Safeguards only delay the problem, those are being systematically dismantled all around the world because capital is running out of space to expand.
What’s your worry about status? I see a nation with good infrastructure that isn’t heavily depending on exploitative dynamics on other countries as a nation without much to lose, honestly. Things tend to not go as well as planned on places where it was already bad in the first place.
