Many SocDems believe capitalism simply needs to be reformed or properly controlled. This would not be allowed since regulating capitalism would still not remove the inequities inherent to it. For example, no matter how much we regulate capitalism in the US, it’s still bound to cause global suffering, not to mention the gradual, inevitable destruction of all human life.
I usually say that capitalism is a horrible monster. You can try to put a leash on it, and maybe it’ll pull your cart forward for a while. But it’s going to shit everywhere, and break free of the leash (or be set free by some idiot), and then kill and eat as much as it can as that is the indelible nature of horrible monsters.
It would be better to not have a horrible monster at all.
