Don't concern troll about Adobe bro. Haven't seen you saying shit during the last few years of Venezuela's chaotic collapse. No medicine, no food, no electricity, military police everywhere, mass censorship and surveillance, illegitimate president who simply seized control.

Most rich people just fall into money by having a really good education afforded to them by their rich parents.


https://money.usnews.com/money/blogs/on-retirement/articles/7-myths-about-millionaires

"A 2017 survey from Fidelity Investments found that 88 percent of millionaires are self-made. Only 12 percent inherited significant money (at least 10 percent of their wealth), and most did not grow up in exclusive country club neighborhoods. The majority of millionaires went to college and are married or partnered."

I know who it is, but I'll say this for everybody else.

Going "Well ackshually..." doesn't help anything. The whole thing is rigged and going "well technically" is just more enabling of tax cheats and the rich fucking everybody else.


Dude you're just handwaving away basic math. Long term assets get taxed at a lower rate. So obviously people who are asset heavy rather than cash heavy will pay a lower rate.

You can ask for higher tax rates on them without being juvenile in your understanding of how taxes work.

And any act to counteract this is labeled as "Jealous socialists taking job creators' HARD EARNED MONEY!!!"


It doesn't help that the people most keen on intentionally misunderstanding why the rich pay less taxes are literally socialists.

When you consider that a lot of wealth generation is really assets rather than cash, it becomes clearer. Those things get taxed at a lower rate if they're held long term. And past losses can get carried forward to deduct taxes owed in the future.

We need to improve quality of life for poor and middle class people who get taxed to hell and back. Hell iirc even your average millionaire gets dunked by taxes. We should focus on pulling those people up.

Imo best way to do that is to end the grip big businesses have on our government with unironic legal bribing. This government doesnt represent us and hasnt in who knows how long. Governents just write laws the fuck over the rest of us just to benefit their sugar daddies

Not sure why you feel the need to ignore that Marx promoted the concept of a Proletarian dictatorship that ruled with an iron fist and squashed any opposition with violence and threats of violence.

Also it's impossible to exist as a modern society without organization and some central authority or process for moving along decision making. Any amount of that is effectively a "state"

You can always find some characteristic that breaks the analogy / comparison but the point was to rank the "severity" of the worldview in relation to it's "older brother" worldview in a way that a CE leftist would understand.

Oh.

So you're blatantly and cringworthingly ignorant then.

Socialism, as in actual lets have the government nationalize work and business socialists, not, hey some things should not be commodified 'democratic 'socialists'' and communism are diametrically opposed to each other.

They are mutually exclusive.

Calling someone who says they are socialist a communist, because they said they were
..... socialist is really f***ing stupid.


Socialism, not democratic socialism. He said he is a socialist. That is not diametrically opposed to communism. It is communism with slightly more patience. Socialism is to communism what nationalism is to fascism.

Don't disregard the CEmen who openly take on the "communist" label.

I mean, I am a fan of markets but they can't solve for every problem in a timely fashion. See: global warming. Hence why we need smart regulations.

If the market were allowed to work its magic, hemp would be growing everywhere, while sucking CO2 right out of the air for useful fiber and psychotropic entertainment.

I never said there weren't any communists but that doesn't invalidate what I said. You randomly claim people you personally don't like have certain views or stances that they've never expressed and it's super weird

Thanks for the backup comrades. Most of the time, but not always, the people who most insist that I'm just labeling anyone that way are quite radical themselves and just looking to damage control.

A few people who lie about it have been seen to post drivel like "eat the rich" and "we really outnumber the wealthy" and other far left dog whistles that make it obvious what they really believe.

Note also that these same handful of CEmen are extremely proficient at identifying alt right dogwhistles but for some reason just can't cut it for the regressive left. I wonder why.

What the f*** does it mean for workers to control the party? In the case of China, Venezuela, they voted them in and publicly support them. How is that different?


Lack of class consciousness, primarily. I mean, look at Americans. We elect officials whose interests conflict with ours all the time, due to false consciousness. Republicans, for example, are largely successful on the basis of convincing people that it's not the owners of capital but those dirty immigrants who are holding you back.


It feels like you're avoiding giving specific concrete answers, favoring instead to just respond with buzz words.

How would it look differently than in Venezuela or China if the workers control the elected party and have "class consciousness"? What does that mean? How do you prevent disagreements between workers causing the decision making process to grind to a halt, without having some centralized authority that can mediate and guide the decision-making process?

How can your vision ever exist in the real world without just making us all robots?
