Socialism is not nazism, friendo. Socialists have no more reason to eliminate useless people who contribute nothing to the state than capitalists have reason to eliminate useless people who contribute nothing to the economy. As you should well know, robots are tolerated by capitalist society because society has no desire to push toward perfect efficiency and vestigial moralfag systems like neetbux exist. The same is true under socialist states.

Everyone would become a neet. Even normies would be doing nothing all day but talking to other normies.

Because you're an aberration. Most people are not like you. Most people are not robots. Most people are not rational. Most people are normies with no inner life that can be successfully indoctrinated into contributing a reasonable amount of work. And that's not even getting into the fact that most "work" in the modern economy is completely unnecessary vanity shit for rich normies, the amount of work that actually needs to be done can absolutely be provided by the segment of the population who genuinely gravitates toward work, and the government financially supporting a shitton more NEETs than they actually do is possible with no harm to the actual process of wealth production

its like this is all you care about. Its pretty hard to starve in modern capitalist society. Even homeless can live off garbage food.
Just look around. In capitalist countries people became so wealthy that they were able to turn their children into neets. Capitalist society has already achieved what communism was meant to achieve by accident.
Communism and socialism is by nature a system to create more neets. You want to make humanity suffer, believing that it being a pathetic useless neet is fun.

>Most people are normies with no inner life that can be successfully indoctrinated into contributing a reasonable amount of work.
Thats just slavery. Isn't the point of communism to end slavery? How is this different from capitalism? Convince a bunch of people to slave away doing things for you. The only difference is you want to be on top.

So you just want to do what needs to be done and nothing else. This is stagnation and its the reason i want to kill myself. I already have free food, water and shelter. Thats all you really need. I'm still miserable.
>he government financially supporting a shitton more NEETs than they actually do is possible with no harm to the actual process of wealth production
This is not a good thing. This is a very very very very bad thing. You are trying to take escapism into reality and it will never work.
Even normies won't want to do work either. Nobody wants to do work. Nobody. If normies could be fed and sheltered for free they would just spend their days going to the park or bars with their normie friends.
You are an extremely shallow person with a huge superiority complex. I'm not a robot because i don't have a job, i'm a robot because I don't have any friends, or social life in general. I never will. Even if I were rich i'd still spend my days in a small room.

Venezuela failed because Venezuela is a shithole run by shitty people. The only reason the US allowed a socialist regime to pop up in their geopolitical sphere of influence is that they knew it was run by selfish cunts and would become an example of "socialist failure" they could point to. You don't get to see what socialists actually trying to make a good government would look like, because the CIA kneecapped all those movements (see: Chile)

As for the Soviet Union, Russians are snow niggers barely capable of civilization (see: modern Russia) and it's a miracle that socialism was able to whip them into shape enough to compete in the space race, engineering, etc. "Socialism" didn't do shit to these countries except make their inevitable shitty destiny slightly less shit

>>36575517
>Isn't the point of communism to end slavery? How is this different from capitalism? Convince a bunch of people to slave away doing things for you. The only difference is you want to be on top.
The point of socialism is both to broaden the number of people on top and to rotate out the current groups and families of people who have been on top for centuries. This is a significant qualitative change even if it isn't a fundamental one. No shit you can't totally abolish hierarchy; nobody expects that as a serious goal except the most neurotic true believers.
The reason socialists talk REVOLUTION more than social democrats is a belief that the systematic destruction of the current wealthy class is necessary in order to broaden its walls. Whenever it comes down to brass tacks and the shape of society has to be drawn out in detail, the goals of socialists do not differ radically from the goals of reformists. This is a feature, not a bug.

>Nobody is going to waste their money like that in the real world
Are you serious? Open your fucking eyes and stop whiteroom theorycrafting about "the real world". People have money to waste, and they waste it; this is where most people's paychecks come from. I don't understand how this is a controversial point, it's like denying car exhaust impacts a city's air quality

Well, the claim generally goes that if you're an atheist you're stuck with moral relativism and that means there's no difference between right and wrong except a person's opinion, leading to immorality, while the religious person has an objective source of morality which is forever correct and true by virtue of coming from a creator deity, giving strong morality to the religious.

Which is a claim that holds up for about ten seconds of honest thought, then you remember all the atrocities motivated by religion throughout history like the Inquisition. Then you also remember that there's a ton of inter-religious malice because there're a lot of religions and they not only disagree about morality, they disagree in a way that makes peaceful resolution through conversation absolutely impossible. This is why abortion clinics get bombed and cartoonists who dare to draw Muhammed get killed; because they're convinced that their morality is absolute and objective, there's nothing to talk about, and violence can easily come into the picture.

Then you go back to the Inquisition and wonder why any Christian would agree it was immoral (which most do) when the theological basis is exactly as sound now as it was then. You might also wonder why anyone who believes the Old Testament is a sacred text wears clothes with mixed materials when it says not to, and you realize that in fact, the religious treat themselves as their own source of morality too. It is the religious person that decides to wear mixed fabric anyway, because the rule strikes him as dumb. In this way they are exactly like atheists, figuring out their morality through constant adjustment, framed by rationality, guided by intuition and pushed by empathy, they just also include Iron Age scribblings.

And then finally we must note to ourselves that a religion is only a source of an objective morality if it is true, which there is no solid reason to believe any religion is.

Socialism is a concept that's fundamentally unworkable in reality. Human nature just gets in the way.

>>36573502
I like putting people in their place.

Socialism relies on too many things that are just impossible, such as:

>people will selflessly work for their fellow citizen, even when there is no incentive to do so
>people will happily accept the same salary for everything, even though some jobs are clearly more important than others and require far more work
>the central government can effectively plan an entire economy

Some socialist ideas, like welfare, are good and can tame the worst excesses of capitalism, which is how we ended up with the modern mixed-economy model that's so popular worldwide, from USA on the extreme right to Norway on the left. But it's like that Tropic Thunder movie. "You never go full socialist".

Only in name really, National socialism isn't anti property like Marxist socialism is and wants the individual to improve. The state exists to help the people but needs to be strong in order to do so. Unlike our neighbors on the spectrum natsoc was extremely successful and only failed because it got attacked by 4 of the world's superpowers and only had 1/3 of its enemies' GDP, pretty good considering how much of a dumbfuck Hortler was when it came to military decisions

>>36573502
It never crosses my mind to give my neighbor or some homeless bum on the street some of my food or paycheck. But I do give dollar donations every now and then when asked. And I've given away a good amount of my possessions to homeless people, people on the Internet, and I helped my neighbor one time with his garden and house sitting. If I want to be charitable, I'll be charitable. So socialists and commies can rot btw. I can guarantee I've been more charitable throughout my life than 99% these faggots

You get the same problems when you have any kind of authoritarian government or one that tries to handle aspects of everyday life. It becomes a bureaucratic mess and slows the whole system down or you get a government so incompetent or corrupt the whole thing just goes rotten for everyone living in that society. I'd just rather stick to having a strong social market, it's worked for us pretty well so far all we gotta do is have some reform in the system by making sure that politicians can't be bought out by the interests of big business.

Reminder that the purpose of cultural Marxism is to eliminate all other sources of fulfilment from life, like religion, family, nationalism etc., causing people to turn to materialism and its short term gratification to get any sense of satisfaction from life.
This is done so it is easier to make people butthurt over some people having more money than them, so they will be more easily convinced to take part in a revolution.

Never forget, communism has robbed you of things far more meaningful than material wealth.

Many people derived fulfilment from contributing to a nation, or from their national identity.

The nation is an extension of your community, which is an extension of your family.
People like to contribute to something larger than them.

It isn't the end goal, the end goal is a Marxist revolution, cultural Marxism is used to encourage people to adopt revolutionary ideals.

It is not a direct attack on capitalism.
It's true, capitalism doesn't offer a great deal in the way of long term satisfaction.
It doesn't have to, because it is an economic system.
That's not what economic systems are for.
The culture is what provides people with a sense of purpose and fulfilment.
Cultural Marxism aims to destroy that culture, leaving us with nothing but capitalism, which like all purely economic systems, is not intended to provide meaning and fulfilment and is unable to do so, resulting in widespread dissatisfaction, leaving people open to revolutionary ideology.

It's difficult to take you seriously when you hinge part of your arguments on an entirely subjective assumption made solely by yourself

Many, many people live out pretty happy lives in developed capitalist countries and luxury goods are plentiful everywhere. There's no threat of nationalization and the resulting economic stagnation that often occurs within socialist regimes.

Capitalism has given us the internet, the PC, the iPad, the atom bomb, the nuclear bomb, McDonald's on every corner and Levi's on a shelf in every department store. It's a wonderful thing so many people take for granted because they've never seen the always eventually horrific alternatives.

Right. Regardless of who came up with it that is completely fucking ridiculous.
>people are unhappy because a scheming bunch of jews have been working for the better part of a century to undermine society so that people will be open to a communist revolution
>this plan has never leaked, even though it's been carried out by nearly all jews in any position of power in the entire western world
or

1000 years from now the gooks will look back on how you pissed your civilization away all to make yourself feel like you had the moral high ground and laugh

Countries that use capitalism as an economic model are very successful, I have no problem with capitalism whatsoever.
I think it is a great economic system, it's been used by the most successful nations in the world, and it drives innovation.

As far as economics goes, it is by far my preferred system.

No economic system provides the same purpose, sense of meaning, and fulfilment that things like family, religion, and high social cohesion do.
Capitalism isn't flawed because it doesn't provide those things, that's not what it is for.
These things come from a culture that may have evolved alongside certain economic systems, but is independent from them.

The goal of cultural Marxism is to erode that culture, leaving people feeling dissatisfied, and to use capitalism as the scapegoat.

They're going to look at us, see what our mistakes were, and being sensible, they will vow never to do the same, wondering why we thought it was a good idea in the first place.

Meanwhile we look back at civilisations that have fallen, see the mistakes they made and then do the exact same shit ourselves, arrogant enough to think it won't happen to us too.

There are times that I begin to suspect that the term "cultural Marxism" is part of a psyop. It does have a very specific meaning for something that is in some ways very real but just sounds so paranoid and out there that it lacks any credibility in a public setting.

I've been advocating for the term "social Marxism" in its place since it is tamer but can mean the exact same thing in terms of what it defines.

Free markets can never be truly free, otherwise the wealthiest man will be king.

Socialist policies are investments in human capital, they pay out in the long run but like many investments, you can't bankrupt the whole entity in that pursuit.

I'm pretty sure 1000 years from now the last North Korean will have long died from the starvation which inherent to socialism.

>>36583250
Yeah, it's really something that has had the "conspiracy theory" thing pushed on it far too hard.

We do need another term to describe it.

>Socialist policies are investments in human capital
>investing on something you'll end up killing anyway
This is why socialism fails

Socialism in One Country is Stalinism. Trotsky wanted a world wide revolution.

why invest in food you'll just end up eating.

>>36584360
Because it nourishes you and keeps you alive.

Human life is something socialists have a problem with. They just choose not to invest in food.
