    Or its really bad for organizing and actually fighting capitalism because you are sedated and are okay with the exploitation since you can cope with weed after a long day of work. Revolution takes effort and trust me people on weed are not motivated to do shit and are not very social either. Weed is not the solution to fighting capitalism, it helps the capitalist by making people complaicent and actionless. The only real benefit would be a union strike, where you actually should do nothing. But to organize something like that takes effort and time and motivation.

    You said it yourself the systems are created by people, the people can be evil. They are the root of the evil aka anyone upholding capitalism because they profit even tho they know exactly how bad it is for the world and people, just like the people creating fascism the fascist are the root of evil.

    People only really change when it hurts so much they are forced to. It needs to get much worse to reach that breakpoint and critical mass. (Some reach it sooner than others ) But when it does, we need to be ready with the most logical and attractive solution to avoid them choosing fascism or other extremes. Left ideology needs better marketing, why not sell that utopian vision we hope to achieve.

    For entertaining information, I can recommend a few YouTube channels that usually cover every question you might have.

    Second Thought - has well produced videos on past and current events with the socialist perspective that is in my opinion based.

    Overzealot - is pretty new and mostly covers the south American history with socialism very well.

    Hakim - while having very interesting historical facts, seems a bit extreme sometimes and you need a lot of prior knowledge to follow him.

    Gus - The german version of second thought, just less quality.

    Climate Town - while not promoting socialism, is great at showing the insanity of the current system, with good humor.

    And why is the norway model not great, because it still relies on 50% oil exports and like any capitalistic system can eventually deteriorate the social system, through lobbies and such, while at the same time still supporting exploitation of either the environment or people (also abroad).
