The Struggle Is Real
  • Everyone wants free stuff, yet nobody wants to pay for it. Communism allows everyone to pretend to have free stuff by declaring those that actually make it less than human, and thus less than citizens. Someone always pays for the free stuff you enjoy

    Vote socialist. Democrats and Republicans are both pieces of shit!
  • The problem is that humans are the representatives, and they represent their interests first and foremost. You could get A.I. as our overlords, but they will represent the interests of those that program them. If that day ever arrives, I'm investing in Pepsico and Frito-Lays

  • Now show a prison under socialism. It's easy to find. Just find a person who speaks out against the government, and follow them around

  • The scarcity is not in the production outside of demand items (electricity, water, etc) but in distribution. Things like bad infrastructure, war, corruption are the true hinderance

    The World Belongs To The Workers
  • Now, try building a house by negotiating with the people who mine and harvest the raw components, the people who transport the components to the processing facilities, the people who actually build the house, and those who harvest, build, and transport the items you need to turn the building into a home. Now do this with the actual workers

  • Look around you. Under what you just proposed, they decide what to produce. What you will see is a lot of people starving, because most undesirable activities that are essential to modern urban living will go unattended. By the way, you cannot have an anarchist structure trying to co-exist along side a central government structure. Eventually, the central government will overwhelm the anarchist, especially the first time something goes wrong

  • Good idea. Read about a hypothetical economic theory that is impossible to implement unless everyone become obedient to a small group of elitist while pretending the people are in control. I'm sure you'll get it right this time

  • It ends the same way. An authoritarian dictatorship of a small group that seizes total political power. It always ends this way, and no amount of people power will change that

  • Let's hear what a bunch of leftists who think that you can have a functional democracy when everyone thinks exactly the way they do lecture everyone on why political extremisn is a good idea,then start crying when they realize that the only way they can achieve their political paradise is for them to act like the very nazis they claim to despise

    on our way to fascism
  • That's the problem with both religion and politics. If you think you're right and everyone else is wrong, you can't help but to I fringe on other people's right to practice. That's why anyone that thinks a leftist government can be a democracy with opposition political parties is at best wrong
