Welcome to my Blog!

Hello, welcome to my personal blog. My name is Charles, I'm a 17 years old freelance writer, and I like politics, books and tech. This website is mainly about those two things, so I hope it's something many people will enjoy. I'm an Orthodox Marxist/Anarcho-Syndicalist and I have a few economic/political essays to write, which I will post here. As for tech, I'm into various products, I do not have a specific niche. It's pretty much the same thing with books.

Social democracies are meant to mitigate inequalities created by capitalism, by using a system of progressive taxation and social benefits. Sure social democracies have improved material conditions for the working class when compared to free-market capitalism, the NHS is a good example of this. Though even after accounting for imperialism and exploitation of the global south that they heavily rely on, there are significant problems that remain with social democracies.      Secondly , the mechanisms in capitalist economies have a tendency to generate gross inequalities of income, wealth and opportunities.
