If communist nations weren't forced to militarize to a ridiculous degree to defend themselves and weren't rife with paranoia because of it would they have actually functioned? Honest question.

And the west/capitalists weren't being militarized?
You realize it was an arms race.
Hell, the US combines the next 10 nations in the world in military spending. Which for the most part are capitalists.
Did I crush your narrative again you little commie bastard?

That wasn't my argument. Communist countries were always smaller but proportionally had to devote substantially more of their resources towards military spending than the capitalistic west.
It is no surprise that the degenerate capital cities of global trade can buy as many guns as they want. But what I'm suggesting is that communist countries being forced to do so while fighting off constant internal western interference has more to do with its failure than communism itself. We have never seen communism without it being under attack from the west.

>I CAN'T UPKEEP MY COUNTRY AND MY IDEOLOGY IS SO SHIT I HAVE TO BLAME IT ON OTHERS TO NOT LOOK COMPLETLY INCOMPETENT AND STUPID
1/10 bait, made me replay, sage.
Socialism is supposed to be the inevitable result of the inner contradictions of the capitalist mode of production. Capitalism is meant to undermine itself. What made Marx a revolutionary thinker is that he attempted to give a scientific, materialist account of the development of society; he did not simply propose some utopian future society, such speculations were worthless to him. Socialism is supposed to be superior to capitalism in every way, not some utopian project that gets destroyed because people are like, totally greedy and stuff.
If there is anything I hate more than commies it's LARPing commies who don't even read their own books.

If Capitalism is so great, why weren't they able to make more weapons than the west?

Communism is Jewish. That's why it will never work.

>oy vey! those evil nazi's want to gas us all. give us tons of money and unconditional support otherwise a second holocaust will happen.
>>137103379
Capitalism is just as Jewish as Communism is.

I'm fucking done with this shit. Another day, another pathetic rationalization that can easily be debunked. Just execute all communists and communist sympathizers.
