if a feasibly accurate capitalism simulation's developers don't build all the shitty sieve-like harnesses and restrictions and caveats that try to force capitalism into a semi-livable system with the same amount of complexity that we have built up irl, the simulation devolves into the same kind of hellscape pretty much immediately. the dikes always overflow eventually and if you aren't constantly building it up the forces of capitalism will wash away everything and return to its base state
I actually think a simulation with the objective of trying to reform capitalism until you throw up your hands in disgust and let the people destroy it and replace it could be amazing...
you pass laws, they work around them. you plug the loopholes, they start laundering overseas. you start to go after that too but oops fuck the enforcement agency is getting defunded due to lobbying pressure. ah shit you are having trouble winning elections, they are funding their friendly opponents. shit damn your whole party leadership is doing it now. ok you finally scraped together a good case... damn they got the courts. well better make some concessions on upper bracket tax rates so that--fuck they convinced half the population you eat babies for breakfast anyway. ok well can we at least nvm there's a coup
Yeah the material for how the cycle between welfare state and neoliberal hell would go writes itself almost. Harder but also even more exciting is writing how the actual breaking down the system and making a better world could go. Just what assumption changes could lead to happy communes, or anarchist free associations, or worker and consumer councils, or whatever vision of fully automated luxury gay space communism one wished...
i'm not sure how it could be written in a way that isn't a bittersweet wish fulfillment fantasy or just depressingly too real. our society treats humans as fungible and blends and tears apart communities as small as 2 just on the basis of needing jobs, even when it isn't actively and explicitly sending cops to murder them
remaking any society that still inevitably consists of about 30% natural fascists, unmaking a society that won't go down without killing as many as possible and salting the earth, and to a society that keeps said fascists from gaining influence or acting their natural selves, is an unsolved problem in political science. i couldn't write it, i'd feel like i was being moony or trite.
That is definitely the imagination problem posed here. How to balance the real pain - which must be acknowledged to try to lead those who don't understand it to empathy - with the hope and possibility. I will continue to experiment with it.
I came up with the levers idea (or at least was one of the people that came up with it independently)
which immediately got dubbed "slot machines"

content warning on that one i guess, it sets the real world up in some approximation of the actual 18th century and if you let the dice fall you reenact the horrors of colonialism with a thin veneer of Game Mechanics
Oh what version of I'm a fool that can't read. Maybe the DF wiki has it somewhere....
i could've sworn someone responded with details to me somewhere and i thought here so now i don't have it again
