It’s funny because you can switch out “Socialism’s fault” for “Capitalism’s fault” and it’s actually true.
if you ask a capitalist and a communist to criticize each other, they’ll both criticize capitalism
And if you ask both to criticise the Soviet Union, the capitalist will spew nonsense for hours, and the communist will just tell you Stalin should have kept going at Berlin and should have purged more revisionists.
It makes sense once you realize that chuds think that cops are socialism:
God that guy was great, a genuine ‘socialism is when the government does stuff’ believer
The ban was bittersweet. Was it deserved? Absolutely. Did I want to see more of their shitty takes? Absolutely.
I explained that socialism was democratic control of businesses to someone, and they said that the government doing stuff is socialism since the government controls business, and the government has democracy.
Every country everywhere is a mixed socialist system cause they have a government
Congratulations, you are now a moderator in r/AnarchoCapitalism
I wish people would at least understand the basics of their own ideology.
It’s funny how bleeding heart libs and chuds think socialism is when the government does stuff
Socialism is when the government spends any money
yea its kinda like salt and paper. You just have to adjust the dose. Coz politics is totally like cuisine
The paper is why I don’t like muffins 🤢
The trick is to really chew for a few minutes at a time
It’s not about texture, I just don’t like the taste
It’s a good source of fiber
Wtf theyre like the dessert of muffins, its my favorite part. Cupcake wrappers suck though, those are dry as fuck
King Alfred the Great was a socialist because he instituted some public education in the 890s
Okay, but real talk, “modern socialist transported into feudal era, goes about birthing socialist ideas into this context” is a hell of a good isekai/high fantasy plotline and I love it as a trope. Whether it genuinely explores primitive communism as a historical stage and Leninist tactics’ earliest roots in early popular revolts and people’s rebellions and radical equality religious heresies, or is just good fun with Soviet stereotypes running around feudal villages and cities spreading ideas at least a thousand years ahead of their time.
Mark Twain’s A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court crossed with Lazar Lagin’s Blue Man? Sounds fun!
Yeah. It’s such a good trope. It’s rare, you kinda have to expand to “socialist ideals, even if not called socialism” and all “revolution stories” featuring an out-of-time character far more progressive than the place and time they’re transported to, to find a decent amount of it, but, like, let’s be real, good revolution stories are fun even if it’s not a communist revolution, and the destruction of an awful system is great even if the replacement isn’t as good as it could be, as long as it’s significantly better for the vast majority of the common folk. (Most of my favourites, the main characters aren’t even communists, just revolutionary leaders who use military tactics that Mao or Ho Chi Minh would recognize, and understand that you gotta feed your people and that you gotta create effective and democratic systems for people to govern themselves.)
I’ve never seen it, but I want it. Please recommend some books or manga/manwha/mahua regarding it.
abolish the military, a govt that protects you can also kill you, or something
This but unironically
I know I shouldn’t have. But I went to that subreddit, and took massive psychic damage. Hilarious that they only allow “flaired users” on most threads since their ideas don’t even hold up to reddit-tier scrutiny; what a bunch of rubes.
I’m curious as to what sort of astonishing takes you found within
The usual: “proof that socialism doesn’t work is that people emigrate from socialist countries” - containing comments with no understanding of socialism, materialism, or general grasp of history; and posters who are totally descendants of those who fled ebil china and vuvuzuela
I also haven’t had a reddit account since cth so no catharsis of being able to call them all liberals. They also have the Bill Gates article I just posted, and the comments are typical laughable, libertarian slop - using bill’s pivot from profiting from greenwashing and alarmism - as proof that climate change is fake. I’d be more angry, but acknowledge they’re probably 12.
“Give up self reliance” as if the concentration of productive forces into the hands of capital and proletarianization of the masses wasn’t carried out at the barrel of a gun
when you give up self reliance
That forum’s symbol right now is Charlie Kirk, a guy who never had a job other than having a rich donors.
Self reliance is when you hoard capital and live off the unpaid wages of workers whose value exists in stock market
Yeah, a government that is not democratic!
And what of it? Conservatives? Does it change if it’s companies that manage roads, farms and groceries instead??
Well, as long as you pay the company, they have to provide their goods and services!
Return to subsistence farming
Surely that’s more efficient than the division of labor and specialization!
Hmmm I wonder why 40 million americans have to rely on food stamps
Socialism, obviously
You’re right, let’s cut beef and oil subsidies and imports so that people can “learn self-reliance”. You don’t mind giving up steak and paying $20/gallon, do you?
a lot of propaganda involves actively denying the fundamental facts of what a state apparatus even is
I’m unironically certain these lolberts would be thrilled on the prospect of retvrning to monke!
“Law of the jungle, baby! I should be showered with never ending decadence for being the best boy!”
Interesting philosophy, Tarzan. Now when are you going to move to the woods?
“What do you mean I have to literally fight my own battles? I’m an ideas guy!”
“How compelling, I’m going to bonk you with this club now”
40 million? Are they trying to create a popular socialist revolt
JDPON Don strikes again.
