Communism has a 100% success rate.

What's the soviet union then?

[–] Frog@lemmy.ca 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

The problem with the Soviet Union was the lies and propaganda they tried to push was used against them when they got caught.

You can't have a government for the commoners when you silence them to the point that the commoners no longer believe the government is for them.

It's a great idea that simply doesn't work in practice

Ever hear of the prisoner's dilemma?

[–] davel@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Name dropping a game theory hypothetical is not an argument.

[–] joenforcer@midwest.social 0 points 1 month ago (3 children)

You're right, it's not an argument. But it's a perfectly sufficient reply to a one-word question that doesn't properly provide an argument of its own.

This isn't your sleeping place! It belongs to the community. And share your food. Why do you think it's just yours?

Real talk, the difference is property. This doesn't exist in pure communism. Can you live without property?

More like a historical joke. Never heard of the background from communism or where the wording came from? Commune, common?

It doesn't work in practice when capitalist countries routinely snuff it out. You're correct, but not for a good reason.

[–] _lunar@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 month ago

Look a free thinker

[–] davel@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 month ago

Live the meme, free thinker.

[–] Plebcouncilman@sh.itjust.works 0 points 1 month ago

I think trying to force communism is bad. Communism in my mind is inevitable, but we’re no there yet. Only when human labor is worthless and capitalism crumbles under its own weight will communism finally be viable and good.

[–] anarchoilluminati@hexbear.net 0 points 1 month ago

Communism is actually badass.

[–] Ibuthyr@lemmy.wtf 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I believe this is a classic tankie community. You won't be able to reason with these morons. Communism has never worked and it's a shit idea. There are other, better democratic socialist systems. Communism results in everyone being poor except the fucking dictator running that shit show.

That said, communism might still be better than the shitshow the USA has to go through.

[–] AntiOutsideAktion@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 month ago

Don't project your inability to reason onto other people it's rude

Communism is the precursor to capitalism. Communists are just proto capitalists.

[–] _lunar@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 month ago

congratulations you just posted the single dumbest thing ever posted on this site

here's your reward

Communism has the same problem as every other system

Mao actually said deeper stuff

EDIT: Many communists claim there is no record of this. They are correct - there is no official record of this ... in China.

[–] yogthos@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Mao pointing out the depravity of the Yankeestan and willingness to use nuclear weapons against other nations isn't the own that you seem to think it is. By the way, I love how you follow me around like a court jester. It's adorable.

Should I make one of these that has all the Auth left countries telling the free thinker that "this is the only way to communism"?

[–] yogthos@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Except countries that have existing socialism aren't doing that. In fact, China very openly says that their system is a product of their history, culture, and material conditions. Unlike western libs, they're not trying to franchise and remodel other countries into their own image. Neither does Cuba or Vietnam last I checked.

[–] mukt@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

China is only looking for military solutions to expsnd their systen where it is not a product of history : Taiwan, Philippines, bits of India, entire Tibet ... scratch that. Tibet is already a product of Chinese "... history, culture, and material conditions."

Have you thought about a command economy? Centrally run by a Highmaster? Who will no doubt create the prestigious title "Fuel Survey Underlord of the Wilderness Planet at the end of the Noctolium Solar Chain".

a relevant passage from This Soviet World by Anna Louise Strong

[–] thezeesystem@lemmy.blahaj.zone 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It's interesting how many people here have succumbed to Amerikkkas propaganda machine.

I was on TikTok and went to redNOTE and just signed up as a way to say fuck you to the government. Got bored and checked it out and there lives are incredibly more impressive and full of life. Full of family and love and compassion.

If "communism" is so evil, why do they have no ~~slaves~~ prison ~~labor~~ like the Amerikkkas? Free healthcare? Little to no homelessness? Accepting of others who are different?

We can't have that communism in this country! That's not Amerikkka enough! We need to make people afraid to live as we the people are the capatilisms resources. We are not the people.

Same rules as Instagram apply. Don't compare your life to someone's highlight reel.

With that said, I'm happy to be a part of what may be the greatest cultural exchange of the generation.

[–] ChiefSinner@lemm.ee 0 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Communism is bad for a myriad of reasons, but distributism is all of the good things about communism without the bad.

This image is silly though because you could just replace the text with "the sky is blue" or any other fact to make the opposite point. Like if you're going to make a political cartoon the cartoon itself needs to be making some point. Don't be like that seppo loon that just writes labels on everything.

Something like this is much funnier as the image and text play together.
