Framing it as a dichotomy isn't particularly helpful here.

"Capitalism in its current form" is the key phrase here - this includes crony capitalism, environmental devastation, disgusting levels of inequality, and sometimes even a total disregard for human life and health. (All depending on the country in question of course)

A state run economy isn't necessary to fix these. It's possible to believe that capitalism does more harm than good, right now, and that the system can be fixed while remaining capitalistic



"the system can be fixed while remaining capitalistic"

If that's what people are talking about, great. I'm not frightened of whatever Scandinavia is doing. I'm not frightened of the New Deal.


I could be wrong but that's what I assume people are moving in favor for.

I haven't seen any evidence that tankies are more than just a tiny minority on the internet, but I would be equally terrified to see the future they would impose.
