Firstly, because it's inconsistent. It arbitrarily divides private property into "personal property" and "private property" which is nonsense - it's all private.

Secondly, it's contradictory. If communism is supposed to be stateless - it has to have no organized initiation of force, because that's a government. However, if you ask a communist how you deal with an individual who keeps what they earn, they'll prescribe using force or coercion to redistribute his resources. That's organized violence - which is a state solution.

Thirdly, it relies on the objective theory of value, which is absolute nonsense. All forms of trade (and economic thought) are built on the observation that value is subjective. I buy a pen for a dollar because I value the pen more than my dollar. A store sells a pen because they value my dollar more than they value their pen. The mutual benefit causes trade - which commies reject.

Finally, commies treat voluntary exchange of labor for wage as theft. They call work "slavery" because you'll starve if ytou don't work. Simply put, they think the exchange of value for value is somehow theft. Nourishment is a necessity to sustain life, nourishment has value, value must be exchanged for value. Employers are not responsible for nature, thus can't be held accountable / stolen from to nourish people without their consent.

Anyone with any understanding of economics, philosophy, or basic empathy knows communism is nonsense.

Empathy as in being able to understand human motivation or the cause for feelings. Feeling sad for someone based purely on their position isn't empathy - it's pity.

There's never been a true industrialized functional communist society. In order for there to be one you'd essentially need someone to claim all the power, instate a communist system, then relinquish power. Step 1 and 2 happen but the the system is then called finished without 3 happening. I don't think anyone will ever go through with step 3, it contradicts human nature. And that's why, I just don't think true communism is possible. Someone will get a leg up at some point and they aren't gonna want to give it up.

>it's just a differentiation
I know, but the differentiation isn't based on anything. It's just an excuse to treat money and resources different from other kinds of property, like body and mind. People own their minds, bodies, and the results of their actions. But somehow if your actions result in profit, you're a thief (according to brain-dead commies)
>stateless doesn't mean unorganized
Didn't say it did. I said the organized use of force. Organized force is a government. A gang taking over a neighborhood and levying taxes / using violence is a form of governance.
>3
I don't know what this statement means. Value is subjective, and valuable assets are voluntarily exchanged. If you have to force someone to buy something against their will, that means they didn't value it at the price it was being offered. Objective value is a contradiction in terms.

The state cannot support. The state has no resources. The resources it distributes are stolen from innocent people. A thief doesn't provide.

So no, the retarded don't "deserve" state support - that necessitates theft. The virgin doesn't "deserve" sex with any woman he wants - that necessitates rape.

Name one example of it ever working.

inb4 sweden, their largest economic growth was almost completely attributed to a long period of an even more free and open market than America's at the time. Now that they are leaning more socalist, sweden has been predicted to become a "third world" country by 2026 - albeit, admittedly, mostly because of their immigration policies combined with their welfare state.

inb4 china. China 100% owes all of their success to open markets and no regulations.

that's a practical way of actually changing things on a short term. but since technology will make up to 50% (us studies claim that, can provide source, or you just google it) of all jobs obsolete, there needs to be a long term plan too.
just redistributing wealth won't be enough. but it's a start for sure.

Altruism doesn't exist. Every sip of water you drink and every meal you eat are inherently selfish. They nourish the self, independent of all others. You drink water while knowing that people are thirsty. You eat when you know others are starving.

To be altruistic, you have to reject all selfishness. You have to reject existence.

yeah, we can argue about the perception of reality as well.
point is, if you're doing something for another person without wanting anything back, just because it makes you happy, that's altruism.

The point he's making though, is that altruism is not the default human condition. Selfishness IS. It's simple really, because an altruistic person dies when a selfish one survives. Natural selection of not just ideas, but culture and people. Sweden's welfare system is going to collapse soon, because giving away all of your belongings just to pat yourself on the back is unsustainable. As it turns out, if you want to ACTUALLY help people (instead of just feeling good about yourself temporarily, which is what communism really comes down to - virtue signaling), creating an actually sustainable economy is a better way to do it. Society and economics reflect the basic tenements of the hierarchy of needs. It's not such a surprise that the most successful systems don't actively try to fight against the nature of humanity, but instead reflect it.

basically, teach a man to fish is better for everyone rather than giving a man a fish.
>>
>>727989750
what economics do you know?
>>
>>727987316
because a centralized government can not achieve a fair social system. It is destined to fail if there is one cetral position of power, there only needs to be one wrong person at this position once. A real social system is only possible within a constitutional democracy, you need failsafes to prevent individuals from amassing too much power, which is essentially the same as kapital.

that's simply not true. its due to the state straying away from keynesian social democratic policy to neoliberal "third way". social democracy is not "giving away your belongings" its investing capital into the labour force...

>>727989919
i agree with parts of what you've said. the system i dream of isn't something that can actually happen, at least not in the next 100 years.
technological advancement has to give us the opportunity to forge a post-scarcity society, and only then we can think about implementing some of the changes i have in mind.
anyway, selfishness isn't something to simply be accepted. you can keep it in mind, but education and a social environment built on empathy can embed completely different and more important values into humans, than capitalism and the current fight for performance ever could.
>>
>>727987316
Because I don't think a system that defies the natural order of society can function properly.

>>727989972
Well, if your claim was that no person is inherently evil, then how can you make the claim that they are inherently good? If you can't prove one, which yes I am admitting, you can't prove the other. So, you go with what you can. Most people in modern society are evil by monotheistic standards.

I am in spirit.

I grew up dirt poor and watched my peers have normal, happy lives while I worked to help pay for food, water, etc. It's left me full of bitterness, regret, and longing, and a big part of me wants every single person alive to feel as miserable as I did and mostly continue to do every day.

But, another big part of me knows that's wrong. I know I simply lost the birth lottery, and that it's no one's fault by my scumbag father and whore mother. It's no one's fault I'm a broken person barely making ends meet, burying himself in work because he knows he's not well-adjusted enough to find a woman to love and lead any sort of meaningful or normal life.

Capitalism with just enough regulation to prevent abuse and exploitation is the only truly fair system. Those who work smart (not just hard, necessarily) deserve to reap and keep the fruits of that labor without being expected to just hand it over. Society ought to encourage empathy and a charitable spirit, but not at gunpoint with the threat of asset forfeiture and/or prison.

humans aren't inherently greedy; just about every major religion rejects greed and seeks well being; there are incredible numbers of bhuddists, hindus, christians, muslims, etc. that reject greed as part of their everyday lifestyle.
also communism has worked (and still works), for example in kibbutz

I would love to live in a Star Trek scenario of post-scarcity in which everyone is handed the tools to pursue their passions, productive or not.

it's hard to describe a communist utopia to people who haven't really looked into it.
i'm not trying to be condescending here, i just don't know where to begin to answer this statement.
looks, strength, intelligence, etc. are only important in a society that values these aspects over the readiness to make sacrifices for your community.
all of the characteristics you mentioned will be necessary to build and achieve personal greatness, but should always be separated from your right to live with dignity and the ability to choose your way.

because i subscribe to the concept of natural law, and communism proposes we violate those natural laws that are essential to liberal society, for the sake of achieving a collectivist goal.

It's outdated and, quite frankly, this "socialist vs. captalist" thing is getting pretty old too, lots of mid-ground alternatives work without letting companies going full predator mode and without giving the state power to take full control of the economy through force.

Communism is actually just Judaism.
Observe that rabbis Hebron and Eleazar define kabbalah as hidden unity made manifest through the invocation of symbols and angels. But unity is communion, and symbols are marks on a piece of paper.
So "unity made manifest by symbols and angels" equals "Communist Manifesto by Marx and Engels".
Further, the name Karl Marx comes from Old Norse "Karl", meaning "man", and "Marx", coming from Latin "Marcus", itself from the older Latin "Martius", meaning "of Mars" or "of war". So the name "Karl Marx" means "man of war". But Exodus 15:3 says "The LORD is a man of war; the LORD is His Name". The LORD is His Name, indeed.

Romania. Has been a communist country since 1945 to 1989. Communism failed here because people were deeply connected to their lands, and communism came and stripped them of what they prized most. then it tried to focus on a heavy industry without realizing that the country doesn't have the natural resources to support that. And besides that, the so called "equality" was more akin to, everyone was equal, but some were more equal than others. So yeah, fuck your communism.

John Lockes makes the case for 3 natural rights in his Second Treatise on Government, the right to life, the right to liberty, and the right to private property. the reason for private property being necesarry is essentially that you cannot eat what is not yours, you cannot sleep where any other man may contest the ground you sleep on, and you cannot build while another man has equal right to the tools you are using. these are the rights that Locke asserts all men have in a state of anarchy, and that violating these rights is essentially an act of war in such circumstances. he also asserts that legitimate government may not violate these rights either, as the rights the government possesses to act are granted by the individuals within it, and therefore no government may violate its own citizens natural rights by any legitimate process.

It's been paraded over and over again by communist supporters here. It's true, I haven't yet been part of the society, but I'd rather have a shitty job and be able to speak my mind and have electricity after 10 pm, rather than work in a factory and be scared of getting my ass kicked by the police for walking outside during the night. Or not agreeing with something. All for just having a shitty factory job.

you havent understood what i said. locke is asserting that there exists a set of informal laws between men, commonly implicitly understood. for example, in a state of nature you and i still have an implicit understanding that if one of us attemts to attack the other, enslave him, or take what he has laid claim to and is using, that would not be accepted by the other, and that the other would attempt to use any means available to him to protect himself from that. this is the idea locke is referring to when he talks about natural rights.

>>727996158
they haven't. It's things I've heard from my grand parents, and parents, who lived during those times. That is literally the only thing they appreciated about communism. The fact that most people were employed. They also told me about how they had to wait in lines for hours to buy basically anything, from bread to milk. Basic things. Electricity was cut after 10 pm. The tv was 1 hour of something that was remotely entertaining, the rest was communist propaganda. They had to smuggle mundane stuff like jeans and chocolate and perfume, and books.
It's the opinion I've formed after being told these stories time and time again.

The problem is, not even who is defending communism here knows what communism really is.

Why isn't worked? China, URSS, Cuba, were/are all dictatorships. Dictatorships are bad even in capitalism, the power is in the hand of literary one person.

There's the libertarian left (not to confuse with Hillary/democrats kind of shit), anarco-socialism, anarco-communism, etc. They have the benefits of sharing resources, not be slaved by mass production of bullshit stuff, etc, but without any form of dictatorship. The government is horizontal, that means, power is not held by one person. Anyone can get in the cities counsels and make choices with the community about prices, laws, etc.

Search for Rojava, is the only "communist" government that really don't have a dictatorship, and could work (it's actually working right now).

You simple don't understand that in capitalism you are a simple product. Who buys humans-hours? Certainly not me, but maybe the multi billion dollars companies do. There's no fair share in capitalism, because all is driven to accumulation. Why we need fucking Ferrari's? 80% of people have shit-tier jobs, so that other people can have fucking expensive cars. I prefer work less, gain more cash, and have a fucking equally good society for everyone, than have a fucking nice cars with half of my city being poor or hating their own lives.

it's moving quickly, and it won't start in the West.

China has been struggling with its population for centuries and their only path to becoming a modern economy is to convert their population to the middle class.

When areas like China and India truly unionize against their governments, then the Western governments will not be able to withstand those pressures from outside and in and Capitalism will start it's desperate and violent decline.

Humans thrive on struggle. If we have everything handed to us (think about super rich kids who do heroin because there life is worthless/pointless/they can have anything). Its against human nature to be happy. Truely. When old people retire and stop working., free to do whatever, they pretty much just sit and wait to die.

The natives from North and South America didnt have cars, TVs, computers, radios, iPhones, advanced medicine, ovens, toasters, washing machines, everything that makes our lives easier.

These things require very large supply chains and thousands of specialized laborers to produce. It takes a little longer than 3 hours of labor to produce them. And the natives didn't spend 3 hours a day working. The reason why civilization developed in the first place was because extra time due to food surpluses allowed people to learn specialized professions other than just gathering or hunting for food. Try living in the wilderness for awhile, it's not as fun as I think you think it is.

The biggest problem is the fact that, in the production of goods there is (1) scarcity (not everybody can own a product) and (2) a lack of incentives. Why would you want to bust your ass and work 18 hour shifts after spending 10 years in rigorous education where some students off themselves from the stress when you can drop out and be a fucking welder and earn the same share?

The thing about the labor hours, is that the other 5 or so hours, we spend making someone richer, so he can create more companies, and generate more jobs. The natives didn't have steel, machines and other technologies.

If we had fair distribution (the owner of McDonald being rich, but maybe not so much), we could have a better life and consume even more. This happened in the Ford era, where Ford workers would buy ford cars. I can directly see this in my own company, I receive 3 dollars/ hour, while the company charges 40 to their clients. There's a maximum of 2 more people involved to get the client to be our client, and do all the administrative work.
Socialist ideas can be implemented in capitalism too, and it would already make a big difference.

Uh 3 hours a day? Did you ever hear of farming? You know, early to rise, early to bed, no vacations....lmao 3 hours a day. Lots of todays industries are automated, however someone still has to be there to make sure everything runs correct and machines still cant do everything. You need more robots, to repair broken ones or back up upon back upon back etc to make the inevitable failures of a back up or two not a concern. What would also be the drive for people to invent? Who cares about making a better iphone when you have one? Would you spent hundreds of hours coding? How dedicated would you be to taking a shift at the power plant or filling potholes? The details are what really destroys communism.
>>
>>727999642
There needs to be someone who controls something but isn't interested in power. Somebody needs to make sure that society runs properly, and doing it through communities can't work on a big scale and it never will. A too scattered population will have differences and start to look differently at each other, see the US as an example.

I'm not even a fan of communism, but if it is to work it needs a leader that only stands for maintaining it for the people and making sure it is good for the people. Otherwise it will crash and burn.

Because communism by design comes with less freedom. You HAVE to "work" just to survive for just the basic necessities and it's not really a competitive environment. Competition at work encourages growth and furthers progression of technology. Companies choose the best people for the job, and people compete to be the best person. That's all voluntary for the people who do it. If you don't want to work you can live on welfare or get disability as part of capitalism. But Americans have some degree of freedom on how wealthy/poor they want to be and what they want to do with their lives.

Thanks. I used to be extremely left-wing and thought we should try to have societal safety nets to help people out, but I never got on any of those safety nets when I was having problems. My parents had money but because I had a falling out with them, they refused to help me in any way shape or form... yet the government decided that meant I didn't deserve help, so I was on my own.

Now that I'm in a better position, I'm supposed to help people out when I myself didnt' get any help? I don't think so.

TL;DR: Not communism. Technology is about advancing and colonising at this point. And I agree with the software thing, however there are too many nefarious people in the world to make that happen.

>...or anything that could give us more meaning than having cool clothes
As an existentialist, there is only the meaning in life that you give it. Choices give your life meaning and also responsibility, actively making choices that is. Just following the pack is not making choices, this is just an uncomplicated life where you have the least problems and go to death happily at some point, even though you were forced to live.

>>728000625
>People would consume more

Completely untrue. This violates economic principles. It's about making an individual richer. Things become cheaper when more of them are produced. An increase in supply causes prices to fall. This is simple economic principle. When Now, how do we produce more of something? By expanding industry. Allowing corporations to expand allows them to produce more. When more things are produced, they become cheaper, demand for them increases and people buy more. This is why even the poorest people can afford cell phones, can afford to shop at Walmart, etc.

Also, if you impose price floors on the labor market ( forcing corporations to pay workers more ) above the equilibrium price, a surplus forms in the job market, meaning unemployment. Corporations will be forced to cut costs and hire fewer people to compensate.

This is why communist countries had stagnant economies.

Charity is fine. Charity is willingly giving to another person.

Forcing people to "donate" large portions of their income to support people that straight up refuse to be productive members of society is horseshit.

>>728002210
Welfare isn't charity, though. In fact it completely undermines charity. Instead of doing something out of the goodness of your heart it becomes a legal obligation. People donate more to charity when they have less money being taken out of their paychecks by taxes, and charities have less overhead than government programs so more of your money goes to helping people. Social programs are complete shit.

>>728002533

Yes. As I said, for two years my income was around 8-9k. For housing, I volunteered at a local fire station and was allowed to live in a dormitory there. I had to put in firefighting work whenever I was home and available, and then I also had another job that paid shit. I didn't have a cell phone, I used the department internet and I had a $2k car that I fixed myself when shit broke.

So yes, I've been poor and I've been hungry.

Oops ignore the last quote. I'm not that much about communism, there's a lot of different socialist/communist based ideology's that doesn't involve one single leader/dictator, and of course doesn't have the accumulation ideology.

Heard of a library, the internet or something of the like? Or maybe studying somewhere else, like getting educated in a simple business and getting better jobs within that business by showing dedication or something along that road.

There are many opportunities to move forward, take them! Complaining will only leave you in the dust, especially if you live in a less socialist society.

One of my friends is doing this right now and is reading a fuck ton of books while getting better positions in his workplace.

I've already started my own buisiness.

All I do is have my two operators use my skidsteer and truck to plow during the winter, but it could easily be expanded to a landscaping company.

I pay my operators $25/hour each. The company I've got a contract with pays me $185/hour anytime it snows for both vehicles to be working.

Simple shit like this are the things most people overlook. You'd rather blow your money on useless shit than save up and invest in something that will almost certainly give you a return on your money in the first year.

That doesn't undermine a single point about social programs detracting from charity.

I'm not much for communism either, but covering some basics can be good in a capitalistic market, since it can make it easier for people to stay in the market and boost the economy. However, I will never go towards socialism and communism as it stands today.
>>728002759
If live has no meaning to you, you haven't done anything big in life. Start making choices and get life going.

And if you think life is unfair, welcome to the club. There are people to help you with that and they are everybody and they hang out at the bar. Have fun, meet people and get your shit together.

>>728002705
Oh yes man, I already have to go to work 9hours/day, and at night go to the university. Of course, I could completely give up of social relationships, and my sundays too, that's actually the life I always wanted! To be a fucking product, and have to sell my ass to the highest bidder.
Don't you get that is not everyone that is going to "make it"? It's because not everyone could do it, even working hard as fuck. It's not about who deserve it, is about who have the most chances, who have been raised with better conditions, parents with money, etc. etc.

damn son you are stupid. then it's your fault for having a falling out with your famil. obviously it sounds like your family could have supported you but you were such a hard headed asshole you pushed them away. and think about it this way, you already pay taxes no matter what, it gets taken out of your wages beforehand. if you had the decision, would you rather have your money go to someone that needs help like an orphaned child or somebody in the hospital to save their life, or would you rather have your tax dollars go toward a a brand new football stadium. yes tax dollars can be used to build brand new professional sports complexes. just think about that for a second

Me also, but I think the talking about, and opening the mind to better things that could come even from socialism, should be always considered, and not demonized as it is today.
The most realistic possible society to achieve a "good" socialism is Rojava, at the north of Syria.
>>
>>728003271

Yea maybe my dad shouldn't have raped my sister while my mom ignored it. Yea that's what I should have done to not have a falling out with the family and get a handout.

I'd rather my tax dollars go to things that help me. New roads, better infrastructure, stronger military, larger and stronger police force.

Not always, but definitely depend on where you live. In some places it will first take effect when you have children and they get a better start, in other countries there is bigger social mobility. Depends.
And since you are working your ass off and all you do is complain about it, think to yourself why the fuck you are doing it. Being a pessimist isn't going to help you.

And not everyone is lucky, that is simply life. People die due to misfortunes or an asshole that doesn't know how to drive. That is life, full of misfortunes and hardships.
Keep doing your shit and remember why you do it. If you are in a bad position it will require a lot of dedication from you to get out of it. Misfortunes hit everyone, whether they are born with them or not.

Start creating connections and talking to people about business, it can open up possibilities of better job opportunities. My hint.

PS: If you didn't notice, I also advocate for you talking to people, keeping yourself sane! Work your ass off as you do and you will most likely do well. It is tough now and it will most likely reward you later.

Tell me, when happens when our most valuable currency as workers (our ability to work, is rendered useless once we reach that type zero society where there is no work. His do we transition from controlling and producing as an ideology an life style to layzing about in search of narrow minded self interests? Where do we go once we aren't needed anymore?

ok hope your family doesn't get into a car crash and your savings are rekt from medical bills retard. and i noticed you didnt include education in there, well, I hope you have fun with all your dindu nuffins that could have been prevented from a proper equal education. and damn sorry about your sister being raped though honestly, I don't know maybe report him to the police or wreck his fucking life dude. still you can't use your parents as an excuse to having a shitty life, I mean you said it yourself you volunteered as a firefighter, that's charity right there, you are directly contradicting yourself. and you can claim as independent on your taxes so your family's wealth has nothing to do with you, you could jave been getting all kinds of government help, yet you refuse to pull the wool from over your own eyes

no it's more like every body is brainwashed into thinking they can acquire the American dream, so everybody works harder. I don't dislike our current system, yes I think everybody has a right to personal property and such, and their are things the government shouldn't touch, but we are in a society where money provides not only for extracurriculars and leisure, but also basic necessities of life like food water and clothing, but we have a system that supports the already rich and wealthy and let's then hoarde all the money to themselves without actually doing any work. it's middle men essentially, that's all they. there are two walls, the hard workers on both sides and the middle man, but neither hard worker can see that the middle man (corporations, business owners) is fucking both of them through government corruption and business manipulation
