I believe this is a classic tankie community. You won’t be able to reason with these morons. Communism has never worked and it’s a shit idea. There are other, better democratic socialist systems. Communism results in everyone being poor except the fucking dictator running that shit show.
That said, communism might still be better than the shitshow the USA has to go through.
I think trying to force communism is bad. Communism in my mind is inevitable, but we’re no there yet. Only when human labor is worthless and capitalism crumbles under its own weight will communism finally be viable and good.
Personal property is fine in Communism, the entire reason Communists want to collectivize industry and production is so that it can be done along a common plan to satisfy use, not for profit and hoarding wealth. Communists don’t want to take your toothbrush.
What do you mean by that? I think it’s pretty evident by analyzing AES states that shifting the economy into a more collectivized and planned direction comes with numerous benefits. What do you mean when you say it “doesn’t work in practice?”
The Cuban people are doing better now under Socialism than they were under the fascist slaver Batista. Their life expectancies grew dramatically, literacy rates among the best in the world from widespread illiteracy, and they have one of the world’s most progressive family codes despite massive embargo.
Ukraine is Capitalist, the fall of the Soviet Union resulted in 7 million excess deaths over the entire former USSR and obliterated what was once a stable economy. There were issues with the later Soviet Economy due to poor economic reforms, but other Socialist countries have learned from this, and these problems were correctable without nuking the economy.
Communism is actually bad
Look a free thinker

Don’t project your inability to reason onto other people it’s rude
I think trying to force communism is bad. Communism in my mind is inevitable, but we’re no there yet. Only when human labor is worthless and capitalism crumbles under its own weight will communism finally be viable and good.
In what manner?
Why?
It’s a great idea that simply doesn’t work in practice
It doesn’t work in practice when capitalist countries routinely snuff it out. You’re correct, but not for a good reason.
Why?
This isn’t your sleeping place! It belongs to the community. And share your food. Why do you think it’s just yours?
Real talk, the difference is property. This doesn’t exist in pure communism. Can you live without property?

Are you ignorant or are you trolling?
More like a historical joke. Never heard of the background from communism or where the wording came from? Commune, common?
i was just kidding guys!!
don’t quit your day job

Ever hear of the prisoner’s dilemma?
“Hey friend, can you share some of your potato chips?”
“Sorry, prisoners dilemma, can’t.”
Yep, you got it!
Name dropping a game theory hypothetical is not an argument.
You’re right, it’s not an argument. But it’s a perfectly sufficient reply to a one-word question that doesn’t properly provide an argument of its own.
Your original comment only garnered a one word question because you were too vague.
The original comment that garnered a one word response wasn’t mine. Thanks though.
Wrong. Its capitalism that doesn’t work in practice.
cool platitude bro
you’ve never actually thought about this at all have you?
What do you mean by that? I think it’s pretty evident by analyzing AES states that shifting the economy into a more collectivized and planned direction comes with numerous benefits. What do you mean when you say it “doesn’t work in practice?”
I mean that every post communist country is very poor now, like Ukraine or Cuba
The Cuban people are doing better now under Socialism than they were under the fascist slaver Batista. Their life expectancies grew dramatically, literacy rates among the best in the world from widespread illiteracy, and they have one of the world’s most progressive family codes despite massive embargo.

Compared to what?
Live the meme, free thinker.
Have you visited the UK?
It’s a cesspool of poverty and despair. Hell last time I was there some poor girl was literally crying on the street because she was starving.
Communism is actually badass.
