Only because like animal farm basically paint for the viewer or reader, even those with the best intentions fall to the corruption of power.

I base it mostly on how long it took the west to move away from a slave like structure in serfdom to capitalism.

Also my beliefs are rooted on the fact that economic theory and structure is evolutionary, not this right or wrong. Capitalism is great for building a society but lacks strong theories on how to maintain a strong society without creating a system where the few control the many.

Real answer is that real communism is an utopia in which everyone is working along each other and not topping each other off in illusory hierarchies. To be an utopia means that it's always on the horizon, you never actually get there, but it compels you to move towards it.

That's why when people complain about something in socialist countries, some leftists will say it's not real communism. Because your criticism, to them, is not about communism itself ("see, if everyone is getting along working together, that's the issues that will appear), it's about something in the way of it (authority, money, external pressure, etc that stops communism from actually happening).

That's it, it's not hard to understand. Communism is "perfect", but not in a presumptuos way, only in the sense that people are discussing how to get to it. The problem they face is how to topple the capitalist authorities from using people and things for their own profit. So they need military force and a united strong government to regulate things, but still, that authority gets in the way and becomes a problematic thing on its own. But that's totally not the end goal of communism, which would be to organize society in such a way that makes impossible for a person to explore the other in the way.

Yes, when you base your beliefs on what exists now. If you assume humans will maintain their same state forever, that is a possibility, yet we have the unique ability to shape how we evolve. So, in the end, it is only up to us and how we choose to move forward. Do we progress or fear the progression to the point that we destroy ourselves?

What you are referring to is progressives, which is not the same as talking about the progression of humanity. They are referring to the progression, or breaking from, constructs and beliefs laid down in society on rights basis. Although noble, it tends to be misguided and shrouded in deep lust for rebelling against the norm. That is not the progression I speak of.

Some think that, sure. Then some think while human nature gets in the way, you can set arrangements so to diminish or end its effects. But a lot of people think that "human nature" is not something that exist or is set in stone like that.

The idea of communism did not came before a reading of capitalism. What Marx did was essentially take a good look through society and how was the flow of materials, work and profit organized. He noticed a lot of problems with it and made them evident. Communism starts when we try to fix these problems in search of it. Marx noticed that a lot of things that we take for being natural stuff was actually only the nature of our position in a giving arrangement. In other words, what comes first, the desire to top the other or fear of being topped over? To a lot of leftists, the capitalist system itself feeds this idea that it is absolutely natural, necessary, indispensable and prevents people from thinking we can relate to each other in a different way.

Wait, so the goal of communism (or one of its core tenants) is to combat the human spirit? That doesn't sound sustainable or even mentally healthy for the individual.

>Capitalism is great for building a society but lacks strong theories on how to maintain a strong society without creating a system where the few control the many.
So, to combat a system where the few control the many in a de facto manner, you propose to create a system where the few control the many in a de jure manner? That does not sound like progress at all.

You are confusing politics with economics. How you choose to mandate an economic system within your society is up to you. There are totalitarian capitalist societies, but they tend to be called oligarchies. No one in America or even Europe is a part of the capitalist party. There are communist parties as they have to push for influence on how the economy is run in a capitalist dominated society.

As I said before, the problem is how to topple over the already existing powers. What stops the richest man on earth from becoming richer? What could the poorest man on earth do if he didn't even lunch?

There are a myriad of possible ways to tackle this, opinions diverge immensively. Even today, what some people call left (for example, what the left is in the US) attempts to bring some improvement on the system that we have, without revolutions or things like that. Some say that only mascarades the problem and will eventually serve those who are already in power. The ones who are not trying to reform, but to make a revolution, need to do so by force, it is a violent act, no doubt. That is, the workers to turn against those who oppress them. But the real problem is: what to do in the next morning? How can we organize ourselves? How can a revolution stand against foreign powers trying to exploit the fragile situation of a country right after such a transformation? This is a genuine and important question to which what we have as of yet were mere attempts to answer it and the degree of success to these attempts is complex and debatable.

The single party that emerged in this place is a step towards the goal of having no party at all. That is, from that moment on, they would be all together, if a problem exists in a country or within the party, then everyone in the country and the party must work to fix it. Instead of having two or more parties battling each other and stomping on the people as they do so. Of course, both scenarios (single party and multiple) have problems, both stomp on people, both degenerate into something else other than what's good for most, both have unpredictable people running things.

So basically: if people compete, they fight each other and don't cooperate. If there is one only in power, that one power will corrupt itself. And if there is no one in power, it cannot resist external powers. What to do? They also ask themselves that.

Amerifag here. I'm okay with capitalism or whatever form it has taken on here in America. I've worked with some people from South America and Russia and it seems pretty shitty compared to America. Especially the former seems really bad. They always love it here. When they come to the office they drool over my sports car because they could never have something like that in their country. I don't even make that much but I can afford it still because this country isn't an economic shithole, for the most part. Now I know those aren't European countries but the point is whatever we have going on here in America is pretty good.

Sure. Approximately every 5-6 years, capitalism kills 100 million people, which is the entire death toll of communism by the most generous estimates.

The difference is, that the capitalistic state that i'm in right now, wont take my house away.
And a real capitalistic state, one that doesnt exist, wouldnt take my house away either.

>>
>>80630650

And how will this magically change as our world only gets bigger and bigger? Somehow by taking people's wealth and redistributing it, we become more free? Communism is a nice thought but unfortunately it doesn't work in a big diverse country. Just a fuckin pipe dream really. Just accept reality and become your own escape. You must look inward for peace, don't rely on external influence.

>The difference is, that the capitalistic state that i'm in right now, wont take my house away.
Capitalistic states routinely take people's houses away, I can even describe to you the process in great detail, how courts inflate small debts and start proceedings to steal people's houses and make them the bank's property, and then the banks sit on them and use them for nothing or attempt to charge rent to people who were originally in them.

You must be in one of the capitalistic countries that exploits other "capitalistic" countries, this is being done in pretty much 50% of them (the "poor" 50% that has people and resources sucked out from them via globalism and funneled into the "rich" 50%).

Capitalism doesn't even work as an economic model without this process of exploitative expansion, and even that isn't enough anymore, so they have to steal the commons and repackage and sell it back to the people at a markup.

It's basically small-scale capitalism combined with something that's very similar to socialist Yugoslavian self-governing system.

Everyone is supposed to own enough property to satisfy at least their basic needs, mass production is discouraged in favor of craftsmanship, smaller scale production, local organization, artisan guilds, and so on. Monopolies are discouraged. It is encouraged to share the means of production in local communities. Family is the principal unit of society.

G.K. Chesterton supported this to a great extent.

Just read the wiki, it has a pretty decent overview.

Both the United States and the UK had in their common law the concept of 'freedom to roam', which basically meant a person was allowed to pass through any non-productive or residential land without being considered a trespasser. Its most expansive form actually took shape in the early United States as a reaction to the coerced rent seeking and punitive measures which administrators' of the king's royal property had taken against colonists in the past.

England's version is still somewhat functional, although they recently revoked the general right to free habitation on public land merely because the land is unused and domesticating is your right. Ironically, the right to roam in the United States has been virtually abolished.

Yet they don't anymore, and everything has been privatized to the point that when you go to a public manifestation you're in someone's private space and must act as they wish, not as you (and the people) wish. And this was only the early stage of "privatizing the commons", look at what they've done to socialization, communication, expressing thoughts, even having sex or courting someone, it's all routed through private companies to the point where you interface with people through one or multiple layers of technology, all owned by someone else.

But tbf m8 the right itself derived from older, more esoteric traditions which for a long interval expanded and thrived simultaneously with the industrial revolution.

It would be nice if we could figure out how to preserve those aspects of our idealized 'liberties' which are already realized as the customs of old tradition, or at least perpetuate their practice through whatever materialist social order we are currently inhabiting.

It gives a socially acceptable platform for con-artists and shysters to abuse the wealth of the middle class.

There are people who can't afford insurance, your country create homeless people and let them die in the street, that is the price for your system. Yes it can feel good for you because you can buy things to play with them to pass time, like a child with his toys. But you are still living among angry people who may easily think their bad situation comes from people who can buy privileges and corporation who decide to sell said provileges. You can easily lose it all against nothing because other still fight to achieve the bare minimum of their necessities. You may have a good job and a good life, but that doesn't make your system good.

Except it's fundamentally flawed. It's not in a stable equilibrium because the incentives are ALWAYS aligned against it.

Look, in a communist system the optimal strategy is to do no work and enjoy the fruits, but if everyone played that strategy it collapses, so authority has to compel everyone to work just to perpetuate itself. Therefore, extreme, violent, brutal authoritarianism is a feature of far left economics, not a bug.

Communism doesn't even work in theory.

ONLY if you think there is only one value system, which is materialistic/monetary, which is of course a characteristic of capitalism.

Once you introduce several other parallel value systems, in which people are respected for different things (for example academic accomplishment, social/cultural accomplishment, labor accomplishment, spiritual accomplishment, and so on), suddenly people have other motivations to participate in society that aren't strictly related to having material goods.

What is the "success state" or the ultimate goal of capitalism?
>>
>>80637969
Except that's precisely what you have in Western liberal democracy.

Besides, the materialistic the bedrock that supports all other endeavours, someone has to be making the bread for the artists to eat.

Actually, only a system that efficiently delivers you wealth (wealth is defined to be the increase of utility, when I take wood and turn it into a chair, I increase wealth, or when I take soil and seed and turn it into corn I increase wealth) can you to have any other value system.

I trust you agree with me on this, if you don't, I suggest you read of society in the North Korean famine, and therefore, a capitalist society best delivers a society not devoted to having material goods.

There is none, because it's not a unified theory of political history like Marxism's Communism.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hunger_in_the_United_States
"The United States produces far more food than it needs for domestic consumption - hunger within the U.S. is caused by some Americans having insufficient money to buy food for themselves or their families."
"Almost 16 million children lived in food-insecure households in 2012.[17] Schools throughout the country had 21 million children participate in a free or reduced lunch program and 11 million children participate in a free or reduced breakfast program. The extent of American youth facing hunger is clearly shown through the fact that 47% of SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) participants are under the age of 18."
"In comparison to other advanced economies, the U.S. had high levels of hunger even during the first few years of the 21st century, due in part to greater inequality and relatively less spending on welfare. As was generally the case across the world, hunger in the U.S. was made worse by the lasting global inflation in the price of food that began in late 2006 and by the financial crisis of 2008. By 2012, about 50 million Americans were food insecure, approximately 1 in 6 of the population, with the proportion of children facing food insecurity even higher at about 1 in 4."

Sure, in the enlightenment era. Post-WW2, not so much.

>someone has to be making the bread for the artists to eat.
Yes, the worker, who is praised and practically revered as the backbone of society in communism. Everyone respects the ideal of the worker.

How do you measure "better" when there is no end goal? Better in what sense, what is the ultimate "good"?

He don't seem to believe it could work, at least not now nor in the near future. But I read how communism is an ideological response to the inherent problems of capitalism while stupid suck on Jewish dicks
