The real problem is honesty of the users and rewarding system. Why do people copy and paste answers from chatgpt? Or even spend time to create bots? Because there is some kind of reward for them. The reward is what needs to change. The reward is the driving force to “cheat”. Why are these people doing it? What’s the reward they are after? I have no idea. But there is the problem to solve
His golden parachute value is tied to the stock value of the company, so of course he doesn't care about long term projections, only short term while he's still at the company for a couple years.
China is communist in name only, in practice they are the definition of State Capitalism. I also wouldn’t describe a dictatorship that commits genocide as a success, in any case.

Oh, that’s great, because now you are the guy saying “that’s not communism” instead of the people attacking capitalism. Which is great because I think exactly the same!
See, East Germany or the USSR also weren’t communist, because there were no democratic elections (contrary to communist ideals), independent courts (contrary to communist ideals), free and independent media (contrary to communist ideals) or opposition parties (contrary to communist ideals).
It’s almost as if all the “communist” countries you know were not communist at all, but authoritarian.
You know there were socialist/communist success stories, right? But they were always couped and destroyed by conservatives. Noteworthy examples were the Paris Commune or the communist regions during the Occupation of the Ruhr, who resisted the military occupation of the Ruhr region of Germany by France and Belgium.
Are you mixing me up with someone else? That was my first comment in this entire thread so that’s a lot of assumptions to throw on me. Nowhere did I say there weren’t socialist/communist success stories. The person I replied to specifically singled out China as an example of a communist success, all I pointed out is that they’re neither communist nor successful.
China is successful from the capitalistic point of view, but it failed to uphold the ideals and principles of the system described in the document. The exploitation of the people is through the roof.
Edit:
To further explain my point: Communism is a flawed system that cannot exist in its idealistic form due to the excessive concentration of power in the state, leading to three potential outcomes:
The collapse of the country.
The transformation into a state capitalist system, as seen in China.
The transformation into an authoritarian regime, as seen in North Korea.
Communism is, in my opinion, a pipe dream because it proposes a classless, stateless society where the means of production are collectively owned and wealth is distributed equally among all members. However, in practice, historical attempts at implementing communism have faced challenges in terms of human nature, central planning inefficiencies, and lack of incentives, leading to economic stagnation, authoritarian rule, and often the collapse of the system.
I don’t understand your negativity. How else would you write a proposal for a completely new system to be talked about, if not in an idealistic and prescriptive manner? That’s the first step to then start a discussion about it and find and fix the aspects that people expect to not work in practice.
Prove that this was a necessary condition in the first place. Places to freely trade information with other people existed before “captialism” was even a word.
Obviously anything that succeeds in a capitalist economy succeeded because of capitalism, and anything that succeeds in a not-fully-capitalist economy does so in spite of the corrupting influence of socialism.
Remember, capitalism can’t fail; it can only be failed!
Answer my original question first and you have your proof or not. If you can’t answer, there’s your proof.
Yeah, information was freely traded before the advent of capitalism, and you’re still free to walk over to your neighbor’s house and ask questions about your code, but they’re not going to be near the quality of a large scale service like SO.
Where do you expect the resources to come from to have and serve content reliably? They don’t run on hatred of capitalism, they run on money.
They don’t run on hatred of capitalism, they run on money.
I’m pretty sure there’s a “hatred of capitalism” cable going in every Stack Overflow server rack! Don’t believe it? Well just answer my question, if you can’t, then there’s your proof
Prove your claim first then ask him to prove his. Even you yourself just admitted such things existed before capitalism. Therefore you concede his point. Prove your point.
Shh the people are frothing at the mouth. Protect yourself and your own, grab the popcorn and enjoy the show. I think we are pretty much past rationalizing.
The Stack Overflow user interface doesn’t understand Stack Overflow if “closed as duplicate” is so common. A wiki would have been better instead of a Q&A site
