The problem is that the entire world's economy is based on a pyramid scheme. Each generation pays to take care of the ever-growing population of non-working elderly who nowadays live longer than ever with more health problems than ever.
Modern society already has "managed decline", almost every single culture on earth naturally winds up at or below replacement level when it reaches a post-industrial stage in economic development.
There's just no way to handle that without completely changing the entire economic system to something like UBI, or alternatively we discover some kind of limitless cheap energy.
Found the commie!
How about you fuck off with being too stupid to count? I literally just explained to you in plain english why each generation needs to be larger than the prior one and pay more into the system.
You physically can not keep the current retirement system going without that, and if you go 100% privatized and abolish social security entirely you just make the problem even worse because then people need to have 10 kids to support them in their old age again.
Nobody's talking about seizing the means of production, we're talking about fucking basic math.
So what you're saying here is not only can you not count, but you can't read either:
I literally went so far as to place "UBI" as a solution on the same level as discovering limitless cheap energy. That's literally saying "The only way this is going to work is with fucking magic".
You should learn how to count and how to read before calling people retards and commies.
