I'm more partial since to the book just because its always so much fun to read.

That book will actually make you realize why people decide to be evil and why communism is inherently flawed instead of just presenting communism as a good idea usurped by evil people, the reason why people still try to do it today.

it's less that communism is inherently flawed and more that people are inherently shit
>>

Right. and communism teaches you to ignore that fact and blame "the evil power structure" for the suffering in the world.

Instead of viewing the "people" as a collection of individuals, which would mean people have rights and responsibilities on the individual level, they're see as one of two groups; the good and the bad.

You never have to question YOUR actions, because YOU don't really act. It's just your group acting through you.

stalin came into power by joining the communist party and convincing people he was going to follow the doctrines of communism, then he went mad with power and did whatever he wanted and totally forgot he had a codebook of communism to follow and instead started killing anybody who diagreed with his personal view of communism (wich was something along the lines of "fuck you, I'm stalin, I do whatever I want."). somehow now when people think about communism they inmediately think of stalin and his ordes of asassins thus making communism look like a cult of hate and murder and not the doctrine who tried to give the worker class better life.
sadly communism will live forever in shame thanks to stalin and the view americans projected to the world.

Communism is a worldwide economical system, it cannot be "completed" or even "tried" on a national scale.
When the Eastern bloc was big enough it could have been put to practice, but infighting and external pressure from its competitor, capitalism (a system which THRIVES on conflict, whereas communism works better in peace) destroyed any opportunity.
Not that the Soviet tyranny would have been interested in even trying anyway.

But sure, let's just single out Cambodia and point out how a full fledged economical system couldn't be built on rice fields and fish sauce by a literal psychopath with no education, that surely is proof that communism can't work in principle.
>>
>>90794318
So you admit that communism gives someone the ability to go full stalin but refuse to acknowledge that that is the primary inherent flaw in communism and also believe that if tried again there wouldn't be another leader like stalin. Ok.

And now it's "communism" for the vast majority of poor, ordinary people who are expected to be thankful for the opportunity to work themselves to death as virtual slaves, while a small hyper-capitalist elite live lives of luxury profiting off their labour.

Which seems to be endgame for everywhere in the world if the people at the top get their way.

To be honest, both the animated and live-action movie did pretty much predict how much it ended, with either the government collapsing on itself due to poor ass economy or just generally pissed off people.

Hell China today is pretty much Communism in name only due to a few reforms and a rising middle-class.
>>
>>90794438
>I understand where you're coming from but "my ideology requires THE ENTIRE WORLD to change it's nature overnight" is so far beyond untenable I don't even know what to with it.

On this we agree. This is at the very core of Marx's ideology, and I think it is impossible without worldwide organisation. Which is borderline impossible. Remember that this is exactly, and only, the communist plan.

Remember the motto is "proletarians of THE WORLD UNITE".

Anything else, which revolves around smaller areas, can't be communism if it isn't a short transitional form.
Communism is the final, global result.

Achieving it is almost impossible, especially in a fragmented society of 100 classes rather than 2.
But worldwide organisation has never been easier, and if ever international workers unions become a reality, there is wiggle room to grow.

Also communism can't be cultural or revolve around small reforms. Liberalism is completely incompatible with communism, and I'd argue the same goes for social democracy as well.

In capitalism you have no real unbreakable rights. Everyone just gets what their power allows. So you just need to organise and take it. No reforms, protests or campaigns. Only direct attacks and pushes on the market and production. Also, Zizek is a hack.

This being said, the absence of any "plan B" in marxism truly is a deadly sin, it's the reason why I think it is an outdated ideology which needs new means of achieving its goals, other than a global "day of the rope" that will never happen.

Apparently the the primary issue has nothing to do with societal structures or government, it's inherently human nature.

Unfortunately, it's becoming clear that the world won't change for the better unless if global eugenics are brought into consideration. Removing mental illnesses and personality disorders like the "warrior genes" that lead to sociopathy and narcissism is a good start.

the nature of worker has changed since the days of marks. The state is eternal and so is class, even if its not an economic class their will always be a social class and hierarchy among the classless. any 1 world government is an abomination that stifles the people and leads to stagnation. final stage of communism requires people to remain in stasis and willfully chose to never change.
>In capitalism you have no real unbreakable rights. Everyone just gets what their power allows. So you just need to organise and take it. No reforms, protests or campaigns.
such is the raw nature of all things. one could say by organizing it you limit the damage and chose
>global "day of the rope"
Which would achieve what? yes you can have the so called temporary dictatorship of the proletariat but temporary becomes permanent because new people are always born and need to be educated/enforced into the ideology so the system is forever stuck in the transnational period (if its lucky)

That sounds like a problem with the whole movie.

How would you propose ending it while keeping the rest of the movie the same that would solve that problem and the audience would still like?

Personally, I think that the ending of the originally story that more or less carries over into other adaptations like pic related solves the problem of the Disney version just giving the mermaid everything she wants with no consequences, but I also think it's generally not well received and wouldn't sell as well as Disney's happily ever after schtick.

i know some stories

like how the previous president of the national assembly is believed to be the leader of a big drug cartel

or how back when there were rolling blackouts every day some doctors had to perform surgery with the light of their cell phones

and btw the capital NEVER had to endure blackouts, of course if you lived anywhere else in the country like me (with a couple of exceptions), you were fucked

this one always pisses me off, my dad's family lives mostly in this city called punto fijo, the city depends mostly on one water reservoir and due to bad planning and pipelines, when the drought season came the city was left with pretty much no water, as far as i know the problem persist today and my uncles have to stay awake until like 4 AM waiting for a truck to deliver water to their homes so they can fill a couple of container with them

actually the whole fucking drought episode pisses me off to no end, because the exact same thing happened in 2010 while the fat son of a bitch was still alive, back then we also had to endure rolling blackouts, albeit not as severe, after that drought season ended he apparently ordered some extra power plants to be built, 6 years later in 2016 those power plants were nowhere to be seen, all that money probably inside someone's pocket, forcing people to endure even worse blackouts

Yes, because the top 10 murderers in history are all capitalist figure heads. Oh wait, they're not. And yes, it was murder, Mao wanted to not just kill people but kill a culture so that all that remained was communism. Part of the reason why modern china is full of monsters and not people.

Guess I shouldn't be surprised, wasn't it more or less produced as pro-capitalist western propaganda rather than Orwell's actual, pro-democratic socialism but anti-authoritarian and totalitarian message? I guess in that context I can understand why they'd show the animals/soviets rebelling against their leaders, even if it does diminish Orwell's intended point which was not so much that socialist beliefs are wrong, but that you have to have constant vigilance that your leaders aren't given too much power.

That's changing the whole movie and not just the ending, though. I partly wanted to know what is the problem with the end specifically that could be fixed without reworking the movie the whole way through like by having a Gaston the whole time.

One example would be to give Ariel a bad end like in other versions and let her die tragically, possibly while saving Eric, but the problem with it would be it's too depressing.

I'd like to see 1 animated movie about politics written in a positive and truthful manner, made by PhD intellectuals(like Futurama), with a good art style, a charming director and a concise message.
Honestly I'd be happy with a 13-19 episode series.

Even children's cartoons aren't so stuck up their own ass and the producer/executive behind The Magic School bus kept adding Q&A at the end of every episode pointing how underwhelming, shit and not that informative his PBS cartoon is.
But PBS cartoons are made for entertainment first and education later. That's why they're so humble and not a bunch of stubborn bastards who forgot what a belt whip felt like or forgot a childhood was.

Politicians are self-serving scum Anon, no matter what colour tie they wear. They don't give a shit about you, only enriching themselves and their corporate friends (who will pay them back in kind with seats at the director's table and money for literally nothing later), and they've become this way because the system allows them get away with it. Hell, it encourages it. You get taken into the political machine and if you don't become corrupt like everyone else, they destroy you so they can keep riding the gravy train.

No, not everyone. It's true everyone is encouraged by those same leaders to be selfish and care only about themselves and their own gratification in the consumer capitalist world we've created (primarily because teaching people to be in competition with one another prevents them banding together to topple said leaders) but there are still plenty of genuinely good, caring people in the world. Not everybody gives in to their base instincts.

>you simultaneous claim that its an instinct and that people are brainwashed into it by evil capitalists
Yes. People can either be taught to embrace their selfish base instincts or to overcome them. Most modern societies encourage the former. Where's the contradiction?

>"genuinely good, caring people" are usually privileged enough to have that luxury or so poor that it makes no difference one way or the other.
The very wealthy are allowed to do as they please, as other wealthy people don't seek to profit from them. They profit from the poor and middle class, who it helps them to turn against each other. It's true the very poor are often the most charitable, because they have firsthand experience of hardship and don't wish it on others.

>and do what?
Institute a system that doesn't breed and reward corruption, and where nobody is above the rule of law perhaps? One that doesn't encourage people to selfish instant gratification machines and debt slaves?

If you're a lazy faggot who just keeps doing another handicapped history lesson where you just present the intel without the weapons and everyone shrugs you off, yeah you'll always be the creatively bankrupt faggot thinking negatively.

I'm talking a protagonist so realistic and feasible it would terrify people. For example back when everyone thought nuclear bombs will certainly mean we'll blow up our planet.
And you know what? We might just do it within the 100 years if we're not careful. Almost sucked the whole planet in a black hole that one time. The dark ages weren't that far away you know. Surely you might live for 80 years so what do you care about the planet blowing up.

Why isn't the US helping Ukraine?
What's keeping America and Russia to simply both turn against Saudi Arabia and take everything they have by force?
What's keeping China from colonizing South Africa? (they are doing it right now)
Or how about all the eastern european countries living in communism and nobody powerful enough giving a fuck? At this point a trillionaire could hire an army of mercenaries and take over a small country for himself.

The only thing keeping us is cowardice, conditioning and lack of power and will. And risk to reward ratio.

Not at all. That interpretation is entirely yours. I believe in a free society where the people with power encourage a fair and decent society rather than an unfair one which works entirely for their own benefit.

The EU is entirely hypocritical and just as full of these corrupt self-serving politicians. That's what I mean about the people in power saying one thing and doing another.

You know, I find fandom politics as interesting as real-life politics.

Sonic attracts only losers who want to be cool, and are all arrogant and entitled.
Batman attracts similar losers who want to be as cool, suave and rich as Bruce Wayne.
Superman attracts... a slight more normal fanbase.
MLP attracts anti-socials who pride themselves in degeneracy and pretending they care about the quality of the show, when in fact often times they say they don't give a fuck and enjoy Hasbro's new direction.
Mario is one of the fewer sane fandoms because it's juts a relatively normal character, no super speed cool struts, no weapons, no chaos emeralds, nothing to attract the weeabo audience.

I'd say they gain power by offering people a different and better way of living. There's no denying it's very difficult considering the hostile media in bed with the current establishment, but it's been done before.

>>90793708
The difference is while one is still fairly corrupt, the power grab of politicians and corporations still rely on the needs of the people, whilst in communism and other dictator focused governments only really need the control of the military and raw materials and they can get away with most anything.

Unless you're referring to pure laissez fraire capitalism which while creates a similarly huge gap of the wealthy and the poor, is not practiced in America or any other country and even then didn't remotely match the atrocities failures of communist societies.

See Bismuth.
SU portrays her actions as sympathetic but misguided.
She has some good point but her plan of going up there and murdering the "bad gems" is framed as destructive and futile.

The cast system is ingrained into Gem society and most Gems, even the lower cast ones would be against it's destruction since it's all they know. Bismuth would actions would likely achieve nothing, as reflected in the fact that the shattering of Pink Diamond did nothing but prolong the conflict that cost many lives on both sides.
The show's standpoint is that homeworld would have to change through peaceful means, and that all Gems are too some extent "human".

Half the fandom is pissed because they think Bismuth was right anyway, and the best way to deal with the enemy is to kill them all.

>>90795315
Simple... take away Triton's ability to turn Ariel into a human.

Really that's the only thing that turns that movie from bittersweet compromise to, "Fuck that, happy ending forever, yay!"

Ariel fucks up big time, causing trouble for everyone and losing her human form in the process. She doesn't get a second chance at that. She blew it. Lesson learned, if you want something, choose the nobler way of getting it, or even listen when people tell you it's a bad idea.

Now see, that is a great proposition and I would love it.

But I still stand by that that leaves the ending as too "tragic," even if admittedly less tragic than killing her off, and that that's not what the classic Disney fairytale audience would want, and while it would make it a better film in terms of storytelling, it would make it a less profitable product in the process.

I just think it's a more difficult problem with The Little Mermaid than just tweaking the end. That's a movie that's pretty fucked the whole way through and would need to be reworked from the ground up.

>to bring the animals under the pigs back under the subjugation of humans

That's not implied at all. It just ends abruptly in the middle of the second animal revolt right as they're smashing into the farmhouse to reach the cowering pigs, and there's no indication of where things are going to go after that. You can choose to interpret that the humans seize power again, or you could choose to believe that the cycle begins anew and some other corrupted animals rise to power (I think this was implied somewhere in the book, but I'm unsure), but I think the interpretation the film is going for, that it wants you to believe, is that the animals are liberated once the pigs are out of the way and that this time they're going to do things right somehow. Presumably because one of those anonymous farms is America and they're going to show everybody capitalism and democracy or something.

this is literally how it ends

it's not a fable about systems of governance, it's a fable about power and corruption; the movie misses that mark by a country mile and implies that soft power, which the US has been all about since WW2, is good power - force projection over empire and responsibility

the pigs take control because they're bossy but they know very little about running a farm; the labor is done by Boxer and other animals who know how it works, and eventually the pigs, who have no other role on a farm but being fattened for slaughter and thus have a natural inclination to gorge and laze around, become indistinguishable from men because they have also gained absolute power over the animals

hens lay eggs, roosters crow, sheep give wool, cows give milk, horses pull the carts, the cat kills vermin, the dog herds the sheep and keeps the rats down too, but pigs are food for men, and very man-like they are too in their habits

tl;dr you are what you eat

But people quickly realize that the best way to make money is to work as little as possible to produce the cheapest possible product, sell it at the highest possible cost, and maximize your profit.

>Capitalism expects that if you have some kind of means no matter how far a shot it is and how much there is to lose, that you should take it and die in a ditch if you lose because "you didn't work hard enough.
Then do something else.
The world is not black and white there is never only one option for employment, if you think there is it means you simply haven't looked hard enough.
But at the same time there is no such thing as a free lunch, really if you end up as a prostitute it means that your desire for instant payment was greater than your desire to have a job that doesn't involve sucking dick, that or you actually enjoy sucking dick.

Orwell himself was a socialist but not a communist. Who say the flaws of capitalism clearly but obviously communism as well which he why he wrote so much criticism it. A rare nuanced view.

Pure capitalism/anarchy and pure communism or socialism have never been proven to be even somewhat viable on a large scale frankly and right now they probably are not viable. Only a mixture has ever worked.

You have no idea what socialism actually is if you think a safety net is socialist. Nor do most of the people on this thread.
Socialism simply put is workplace democracy. Actually existing forms of socialism are some school boards, some non-profit organizations (think tanks is a subset), some for profit workers cooperatives etc. A socialist is someone who advocates for the economic dominance of such organizations rather than capitalist structures (which have an employee, employer relationship).
Nothing to do with a social safety net.

Then one day they're caught and their court date comes up, and you're feeling pretty confident that pretty soon you'll be able to rest easy knowing that you won't have to worry about late night break-ins and thievery in your neighborhood anymore. But then last minute through some whacky turn of events these two criminals get a full pardon for some personal bias related to the judges, and nobody gives a shit about what they did to you anymore.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet_famine_of_1932%E2%80%9333


The 2004 book The Years of Hunger: Soviet Agriculture, 1931–33 by R.W. Davies and S.G. Wheatcroft, gives an estimate of 5.5 to 6.5 million deaths.[17]
Encyclopædia Britannica estimates that 6 to 8 million people died from hunger in the Soviet Union during this period, of whom 4 to 5 million were Ukrainians.[18]
Robert Conquest estimated at least 7 million peasants' deaths from hunger in the European part of the Soviet Union in 1932–33 (5 million in Ukraine, 1 million in the North Caucasus, and 1 million elsewhere), and an additional 1 million deaths from hunger as a result of collectivization in Kazakh ASSR.[19]
Another study, by Michael Ellman using data given by Davies and Wheatcroft, estimates "‘about eight and a half million’ victims of famine and repression", combined, in the period 1930–33.[20]
In his 2010 book Stalin's Genocides, Norman Naimark estimates that 3 to 5 million Ukrainians died in the famine.[21]
In 2008 Russian state Duma issued a statement about the famine, stating that within territories of Povolzhe, Central Black Earth Region, Northern Caucasus, Ural, Crimea, Western Siberia, Kazakhstan, Ukraine and Belaruss the estimated death toll is about 7 million people.[22]

Also the Ukraine had been considered part of Russia, was run by Russia and controlled by Russia for centuries at this point. You're splitting hairs and attacking minutue because you seem to believe that communism was the only way Russia could have economically reformed, despite successful ongoing programmes that occured before 1914 and the success in developing nations that started on a lower level to Russia that has occurred in the post war period.

1929-food-line-USA.jpg.

Anyway, there is literally no difference in buying your food in a store (where you will have to wait in line), and waiting in line to get food. What we had in the USSR was just a logistics issue, however people did get fed, which was the first problem they wanted to solve at the time. After that they can think of ways to make it more efficient.

Seriously, there is zero reason to think socialism is somehow doomed to fail when people literally lived without even written law times before.

never said that. What i said is that there is no reason it could NOT reform through socialism. As i said before, ANY system can work, it just depends on good people in power. We literally lived in the mud without any kind of system before, and things were good. It just feels wrong to consider one system inherently wrong when capitaism itself failed in more than 50 countries at this point.

by the way, again: you don't need dictatorship to have socialism. I never said this part was a good or a bad thing, just that there is nothing wrong with the government controlling the means of production (which kind of already happens even in capitalist countries).

gradually, during the whole killing tsar/changing the country thing. You cannot expect to change an entire country and some things not to go to shit. This doesn't make the change itself bad.

>stores are motivated by self interest rather than political clout
Socialism doesn't abolish self-interest; you can still earn more for producing more, or making a better job. Literally the only difference is that the government will control the means of production. Hell; they may even put someone in charge that will have his own self-interest in check, considering he may also receive a bonus for his work. You seems to think that socialism means everyone will receive the same amount, or be equal. It's not; Fidel Castro lived a much better life than other people by the same argument that 'his job was more important'.

Technically some tribal societies were probably communist, but it's hard to find examples of classless stateless societies. This doesn't contradict marxist theory, in fact it would contradict marxist theory if that was the case.
As for examples of socialist states, there are few popular ones (as well as socialism existing within capitalist states). The most famous being anarchist free territories of russia and the anarchist territories of Spain during the Spanish civil war.

there can't be a society without classes, simply put. Marx's ideals rely on a rather idealistic notion that giving the means of production to workers and ending classes will solve shit and people will cooperate and work together. except it won't.

it won't change human nature, and human nature is what makes us greedy selfish assholes, it's what makes people backstab each other and so on. the second someone finds a way to exploit the system they will and soon more will follow. problem is, if you don't have even a single regulating organ or superior you're fucked because the second a monopoly on anything is established you and the rest of the workers can do jack shit. and that's assuming communism can even be established, which would require at least a country-wide consensus or a selfless rebelion leader who's willing to give all his status and money up, which to date has never happened once.

If there weren't barriers to entry and exit then no such thing would ever happen. In a functional capitalist society the unemployment rate hangs around five percent with those others needing to change location or develop their skill set to get a job.

>>90820386
In the 20th century, these capitalists countries "recovered" after two bloodiest wars in human history only for the US to establish a global hegemony because of the intact industrial bases. The Marx interpretation isn't that Capitalism can't have booms or 'recover', but that it is inherently prone to crisis. Even after that 'recovery' there was still economic crisis that led to political struggle such as events of 1968 revolt in France.

based on what? to begin with, humans, much like other animals, tend to look for figures of authority even native tribes, where you don't have money or a developped economy and which are possibly as close to communism as we've ever got, had either a chief or some sort of god they considered relatively more important than the average person. this is part of us, the average person either requires or seeks guidance, a leader, someone to show the way. very few are actually able to function independently and efficiently or to coordinate efforts with others without any guidance. Communism completely ignores this because "it's not freedom!", except not everything can be left for people to decide if we want to survive and keep progressing as a species.

>that's the problem with capitalism.

Yeah, socialism (in the marxist tradition) supports each laborer gaining the full value of what they create.
Don't listen to that guy, socialists to my knowledge usually criticize the family structure is some way (often by using class theory). Often proposing children being raised more by the larger community (not to say they oppose by any means a mother seeing her daughter).
Some also think that coercion is justified with small children because they're children.
>>
>>90821448
>Some also think that coercion is justified with small children because they're children.
I can't think of a single sane adult who doesn't believe that. When you allow kids to do what they like and don't teach them their actions have consequences you end up with insanity like "transgender" children

Marxist theory is all about people freeing themselves from the class system so that a laborer doesn't have to be a laborer anymore.

The old family structure is criticized (where the father was the authoritan and the children were just members to be exploited to further increase the power of the father) not the new one.

>not the new one
I'm not aware of any time Marx stated his fondness for this new type of family structure and I don't think his critique isn't still applicable (although conditions have generally gotten better).

Suddenly it's not the employer's fault for not providing a livable wage for nearly full-time employment, or the government's fault for not helping the people, it's (you)r fault for not succeeding at life because even if you do everything you're supposed to do you're magically "not wurkin' haad enuff" or just "need to find a better job" nevermind that's out of your control once you put in the application.
Communism is shit, but Capitalism as bad because at least with communists, you can point straight at the problem.

>I don't agree with "safety net" bullshit anyway
That most basic level of altruism is ingrained into humans since at least Homo Erectus and probably earlier though, along with many social and semi-social animals. It evolved because it was necessary for the survival of each species.

Anyone could find themselves in the position of needing help due to misfortune at any time so it has always behooved people to support safety nets in one form or another.

The fact that a few people might not "deserve" it is immaterial because logically it just benefits everyone so much more to have it in place.

That's why no successful country today has no safety nets. Rational and sane people understand this.

smartphones, you can check a video of it here

https://cubanosporelmundo.com/blog/2016/08/24/medicos-venezuela-operan-luz/

now it seems this happened more than once because this video was uploaded in august after the rolling blackouts """"stopped"""", however normal blackouts due to fucked up power infrastructure are just as common as ever

i know back in me old town we'd get a blackout every month, sometimes every week, again not counting the rolling blackouts which happened every day and lasted up to 4 hours, and it was entirely possible to endure a rolling blackout only to be greeted by a normal blackout later due to power failure in the same day

So I assume you didn't read anything then?

>refuse to seek a better paying job.
I've been looking for a better paying job, and applying for them, literally hundreds of applications this month, but I don't have one. Even though they're "You need to have graduated high school" jobs and I have an Associates degree from the local CC. If they don't hire you then they don't hire you, that's not under my control, and probably never will.

>Refusal to obtain skills
Now you're just projecting. I'm not getting hired for jobs I'm more than qualified for. I don't have control over my appliaction after I hand it in. And honestly >>90827006 in particular sounds like someone who got everything handed to you and was then told it's because you "worked hard"

The original story had 3 different endings cause he kept revising it to be less depressing.

And technically that film uses none of them. She just dies and goes to heaven instead of turning into an undead wind spirit that has to earn its way into heaven.

Original original ending just had her dying and fading from existence.

This is why I used the words "more or less." They are technically different, and I can see why those differences may be considered important, but a lot of people describing both would just sum it up "she dies at the end." I was getting at "the end where she dies." Which is most of them.

Learn to fucking market yourself, shithead. Of course you're not getting a response. They WANT high school education, just because you have more than that doesn't mean they'll hire you.

Look for the jobs that require your level of education or don't fucking bother, because you're just adding your resume to a stack of more viable candidates who the employer doesn't have to worry about leaving for a better opportunity because of their education.

If your education doesn't provide a value above and beyond what the high school graduates offer, then it doesn't make any difference, which is the case for those 100+ apps.

Either go back to school for more education or settle for whatever job you can get.

why would you assume either muh government or muh capitalism would work like magic? they're inherently neutral and both composed of people who are flawed.

I hope when people in this thread grow up they don't assume either the "magic hand of the free market" or the "magic hand of the government" will fix everything.

You have to be pragmatic instead of a stupid idealogical purist and systems have to adapt and change quickly as technology and society changes so what worked in the past won't work anymore

what we try to do now is to check the power of corporations and employers with government and government with corporations so no one has too much power

I don't think anyone here is arguing that 'communist' (e.i. state capitalist, totalitarian, bureaucratic states, although some social democratic states are also thrown in for some reason) aren't oppressing people. The argument people are having is whether 'capitalist' systems oppress people more or less as a rule. Personally, I have little clue what the answer is (the US is an unusually free capitalist state so it is probably 'better' but also unusually aggressive, but there are tons of more totalitarian capitalist states), but I know that most people on this thread have no idea either and are mostly just regurgitating information they have gotten from capitalist schools and capitalist media, which should obviously have an extremely pro-capitalist bias.

What? Almost every person in any argument will have both an explanation for why they are wrong and an explanation for why the person they're arguing with was in some way deluded.
I don't get what I'm supposed to be arguing, that 'communist' states are better than 'capitalist' ones? I'm not sure that is true. I'd guess that there's a large range in the terribleness in both 'capitalist' and 'communist' countries (especially since I have no idea how you distinguish the two, did france count as communist when it had a 'socialist' party in democratic power?) and I have no idea which one would come up worse.
I certainly haven't seen any real evidence supporting the conclusion that communist countries are worse as a rule, just that some communist countries did bad things.
I suppose what I need to argue is that either that you have been effectively lied to (which is done in the video, but if you want the spark notes then here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manufacturing_Consent)

No it doesn't, at least not unfettered, no place has unfettered capitalism anyway. Most decent places have a mixed economy.
