    Your claim was that there was no entertainment. I showed you a page that shows around 10-20 national films per year in the 20th century. That’s a lot of film. Now you’re deflecting to say that the films are bad because their budget is low. First you’re gonna have to show that expensive movies are automatically good given how shit every Marvel movie since Iron Man 1 has been, specially compared with the lower budget stuff like Jessica Jones. Then you’re gonna have to show movies from the time of War and Piece in the USA that are actually so “superior” on quality and and budget.

    You seem to still be insisting on “investors” as though they are necessary. Once a movie has sold well it can finance the following movies by itself without being tied down to some disconnected rich AMPTP CEO who won’t pay his writers and actors. “Most movies” actually have very small budgets, for obvious reasons and you’ll hardly find movies that cost hundreds of millions in film festivals. The vast majority of art is actually cheaply produced even in capitalism, just look at deviantart, steam, itch, youtube.

    Why do you want to be your society to still be ruled by investors? You do know that if they can have 10% of the economy they’ll try to get 20%, right? How many 2008s and 2020s do you need to learn?

    I’d still rather a mix of capitalism and socialism with good production value.

    I also drink my water with oil. Soap blends it very well.
