>>716026517

Communism/socialism can't work because you can't force people not to want more than their peers.

It is human instinct to have more than others to better your chance of survival and prosperity.

There is no such thing as a massive group of people, such as an entire country, who are all happy to be equals.

People have to adopt that ideal on an individual basis; it is not inherited.

There's no specific version of communism, so of course whoever happens to in charge is going to implement it in their own way.
That doesn't change the fact communism is directly responsible for over 100 million deaths in the past century. You can shift the blame all you like but the fact remains that communism does not work.
Any country that calls themselves a communist governement simply is not. One exception being Veneuzeula; they're under socialist rule and have resorted to eating their own pets because of the lack of food.
Point is, communism has been implemented numerous times. each and every time failing miserably.

So to give a society the means of production has proven detrimental due to a classless society being impossible to achieve.

to me communism means living to better standards, to overcome the "naturally grown" systems and ideas of humanity and to create systems and ideas that are sustainable, rational and fair.

It's not implying any of that. Money is just an abstraction of power, safety, and comfort.

Because money can buy the most elegant house, or the finest art, or the highest quality food, or the most attractive prostitute, or the fastest car, then it is technically all those things at once.

You fail to see through the literal and into the abstract.

Everyone wants something literal that money repesents abstractly.

I'm not sure why I'm even bothering to try and explain this to you.
>>
>>716027317
Yes, but this is what you're getting wrong.
Egalitarianism is about everyone having the same rights (oportunity). It's not about everyone having the same wealth (equity). It's an individualist point of view, which intrinsicly recognizes the differences amongst any two individuals and aknowledges that they won't have the same outcome because of it.

>>716027232
The fallacy with communism is the belief that it would work if it were only larger. The issue is that the ideal is noble, but execution is impossible. Building a system with enough oversight and government in order to make it work would be such a drain on resources that communism itself is not sustainable.

The reason capitalism works is that it is all self adjusting. The individual sets the prices, and it requires little oversight. The problem people have with it is that through competition almost everyone ends up dropping prices to just over cost, so there is little profit for anyone other than those managing everything. But extreme success will always exist for those select few regardless the system of government chosen.

On the plus side, this competition keeps cost of living very low, and citizens, even poor ones, tend to live very well. One of the big upsets between the USSR and USA during the cold war was the color TV was a luxury few had...but during documentaries about the USA in USSR (they were films shown in color in theaters) to show the disparity between classes...USSR citizens noticed almost all of the lower class had a color TV. So capitalism has its issues, but it is the most cost effective form of government.

Then I got out into the real world. Supported myself. And I realized two things.

There's a reason the west is part of the first world and a lot of that is due to capitalism.
How can you lecture me about how unsustainable a political method is when you support communism?
I know your type, think you know what you're talking about but in reality have absolutely no idea. You prove that by calling us "authoritarians" simply because we disagree with communism. Do you even know what that is? The every single communist leader to come to power has been an authoritarian, yet you still support it? And I'm the moron?
At no point in history has there every been a sustainable, fair and economically viable communist country. Mao Zedong is responsible for more deaths than World War 2 alone. Yet, he's considered a Marxist revoloutionary. I doubt you have any idea who he though. You probably googled "what us communism", found the definition and thought 'hm, this sounds great. I'm going to advocate it!'

This so much.
What "from each according to his ability, to each according to his need" hides under the rug is the fact that you can't have an objective determination of what each can give and what each needs to take. And if you think you do you end up with gulags.

Capitalism is defined by freedom, pure capitalism is a free market, and free people.
You don't need to determine what each can give because each person will determine that by themselves, same with the needs.

In the end, the communism/capitalism discussion boils down to this theoretical question:

Should everyone be free or should everyone be well? I will always choose freedom.

There will probably be some libertarian who will reply to you and give their view on your question. My advice? Never listen to a libertarian on anything.

Yes, I personally do think we need a government to keep the country from slipping in to chaos. Just look at how the middle-eastern countries were in the 60s/70s/80s compared to now.
It went to shit because their governments got fucked by so called revoloutionaries.
We as a species cannot be trusted to not have a body of government. If there is nobody to guide the populus, the populus will guide itself in to total socioeconmic breakdown.
Moreover, the west has become so reliant on governments that we simply can't not have one.

I suppose you could say Marxism is somewhat a set of phillosophies, but at the same time it's not.
Karl Marx was very very very pro-left wing. The irony of his legacy his he had no career in politics at all and yet thought he knew what would work.
He believed that in order to attain a classless society, capitalism must first be eradicated. That's about as philosophical as he got. The rest are a bunch of theories that don't work.
Socialism is a political stance which is widely viewed as a less drastic version of communism. People who say that are partly right, well, they are right but it's what comes before communism. Socialism and Communism are based upon political methods as opposed to philosophies.

Personally, I feel like any kind of ism is bound to be a failure, but sharing a lot of anarchist (mostly social-anarchist) beliefs, I could see where people think that Socialism could be beneficial, but at the same time, a free-trade society could also work (in theory). In reality it seems like any major or famous socioeconomic policy is an altogether fuck up of someone trying to do something good. Communism has a good intent but it's simply not practical, same thing with Capitalism, good intent to open up everyone in the sense that people can do what they want, but way to vulnerable to a hierarchical establishment.

I just think federations and republics are the most viable body of governments. Most people think the U.S is a democracy when in actual fact it's a federal republic. I'm not saying it's not without its flaws, every system has its flaws. Just at the moment it seems to be working the best,

A lot of people say that the government in the US is broken or was "made corrupt from the start." In reality, if you look at a lot of the things the government in the US was meant to do, it really could work, but the problem is corruption from the highest levels of the Federal Government. When Woodrow Wilson was elected as President before WWI, he signed an order that created the IRS (before he even took office.) That in my opinion is when the US stopped being a country and became a corporation. If you strip away all the superficial bullshit laws like the NDAA and all that other power and control shit, the system does work, it just has to be kept in line. I'm an Anti-Federalist, and feel like the government should be kept small, but still should be there so it can step in when needed. The US being a Constitutional Republic (Federal Republic, call it what you will) was built on human rights and the ability to say, think, believe and do (to an extent) as you please. Problem with that is, if someone decides to do more for himself, they can, that could be the downfall of society in a sense. Corrupt politicians are what's wrong with all the isms, not the ism itself.

socialism is a theoretical anarchist system where the workers share property. Like any anarchist society it would require immense improvements in our education system. Marx called it his dream system.
In the late 19th-early 20th century disgruntled Russians it was led by Vladmir Lenin. Lenin's brother had tried to kill the tsar so Vladmir was raised around revolution. He and some friends wrote a socialist paper. Trotsky, a fan, persuade him to return to russia(Lenin left after being sent to Siberia). They toppled the government quickly, but has a long civil war with the wealthy. This led them to the horrible Povolzhye famine. Trying to survive Lenin was forced to a totalitarian state capitalist system. This was successful until they started a war with the U.S. which is still ongoing. Russia mostly used other states as a proxy, the U.S. used greed, European countries, or capitalist rebel groups. In the 90's Russia gave up and officially became capitalist. Since then everyone's been fighting the U.S.'s rebels.
communism is the same as socialism but the workers can product all the needed goods too. China did a crude version of this under someone who only remained alive because he was a weak fool.

the U.S. system wasn't made to work. The founders were all paranoid libertarian who wanted the states to hold the power. They hated the idea of United States but couldn't think of another way to beat the Brits.

I agree with your points completely. Most systems have a period where they.are effective, we just haven't had a system that could sustain socialism or communism. I assume the Democratic socialist states are working toward socialism, but the workers who make them socialist must be ones who grew under Democratic socialism. A pure capitalist society can't become socialists and definitely can't be communist

You guys must not know about them. They fought oppression and murderers backed by the US to save there own people. They backed gender equality, universal healthcare, and a literacy campaign. Under their US backed dictator, peasants had no education, were killed on a daily basis, and had no freedom. The socialist government had flaws, but it was 100 times better than the US backed dictatorship before it. The contras backed by the US, by the way, killed hundreds of their women and children, something the socialist government never did.

Everything the US did with the treaty that gave them those Spanish areas was horrible, but Nicaragua and Cuba were the worst.

Still we can't say socialist don't kill off their population in large numbers. The Moscow trials and great Chinese famine make it obvious that socialism can be approached in equally destructive ways.

Communism is not possible now, at least with our technology. And communism is a great idea in general which is being justified because of one bad apple in the harvest called Joseph Stalin.
I'm still amazed at the amount of the time they needed to evolve from the peasants of the king who can't even read or write to a united, educated nation and worthy of admiration.
After WW2, it was said that only by 1970 USSR would be able to fully recover. These madmen did it in fucking 1955.

Capitalism works on the retard assumption that you can let men and corporations work towards egotistical ends, but they will not fuck and make suffer those below them because they will follow rules imposed by entities with much less power.
Also you assume that people is intelligent, rational, and the "markets" are somekind of mystical god that preserves justice through the "law of offer and demand".
At least commies ackowledge that men are bastards and anyone with more power than other would abuse it, so they try to minimize the differences in power.

COMMUNISM WORKS BECAUSE BERNIE SANDERS PROMISED US IT WOULD TOTALLY WORK! I'LL NEVER HAVE TO LEAVE MY MOMMY AND DADDY'S HOUSE BECAUSE THE GOVERNMENT IS MY MOMMY AND DADDY! YOUR RIGHTS END WHERE MY FEELINGS BEGIN! STOP OPRESSING ME! I'M A SPECIAL SNOWFLAKE AND THIS IS MY SAFE SPACE!

Communism has never once worked without serious impact to civil liberties. Only delusion idealists belive such a moronic concept. The human element alone flaws the entire system.
