No, not because I don't believe it to be worth it, but because I'll have 60 less dollars.

Yes, we should have socialism instead where instead of paying $1,500 to use a sink, her family pays 60% in income taxes and 25% in sales tax.

Free stuff costs a lot of money, children.

Countries that have implemented socialist policies are happier and healthier.

Yikes. This topic may not go in a good direction from here.

Look, Stalinism was bad, but I do not want that, real communism can work, even with the greed of humanity.

When the government takes the means of production, and this government is A.I, with its most basic instincts (programming) to take care of the general welfare of the people, then we can have a much more efficient, and beneficial communist government. This A.I cannot be corrupted by greed because that just will not be a part of its nature.

As for jobs like doctors, and the likes, complex machinery can take over many of the jobs that we require now, and thus we will not have to worry about a lack of available people because they see no benefit. We will get to prosper from the free-time, and pursue our own interests.

Our freedoms will stay intact, but we will create a better prison system that properly punishes the serious criminals, and rehabilitates the ones that can be reintroduced back into society. Luckily, crime will be down anyways, as people will no longer have to worry about receiving a good education, where their next meal will come from (which will not be some small bowl of rice, or a loaf of bread, but will be a satisfactory, nutritious meal), if they can afford their medication, or where they will sleep. We can put more money towards properties and roads, and people will have a much higher standard of living than we could have.

We live in a Gilded Age, where sure, we make a lot of money per person compared to most others, we have the largest economy (although soon China will pass us up, but who cares because Capitalism is not a game that is required to win to indicate who is the best country), and we have so many millionaires, but this comes at the expense of creating a larger divide in class. The reason poverty has gone down, and standards are going up is when we implement socialist ideals, but under this current administration, we will start to see the negatives go up.

Capitalism is a flawed structure, that benefits the fat cows on top, but as for us peasants, we are left the bread crumbs.

If the proper material conditions aren't in place, communism can't take root. Communism cannot flourish in a globally capitalist environment. Marxists have always known this.

I mean, all of those places did not have proper safeguards, were unorganized, and were based on reactionary movements so the leaders they put in charge had no business being there.

20th time is the charm? As if. Sometimes the best thing to do is call the whole thing a bust and fix the problems in the current system instead of trying to salvage something that's fundamentally flawed at its core.

Communism is the best way to ensure innovation is stifled, everyone quits working and people starve to death.

I think I'm maybe in the minority who liked 10 Cloverfield Lane's ending.

great vid film.

I loved it. The film would have still been great without it, but honestly, I would have been a little disappointed. The movie gave you hints the whole time, and the ending scene was a culmination of everything Michelle learned.

It was nice, the movie played us, making us wonder if Howard was crazy or actually right, and it turns out, it's both.

10 Lane > Cloverfield >>>>> Paradox

agreed.

If you are looking for a monster movie, than the original is your go to.

If you are just looking for a good movie in general, 10 Lane is a great choice.

Paradox is if you are into generic, C-tier sci-fi movies and have time to kill.

I support communism too, or at least a socialist society.

It's socialism or death by capitalism-provoked climate change.

Companies care most for profit and short-term sustainability. The leaders on top need to show results now, even if hurts them in the future.

It isn't in the nature of a business to care for the welfare of the people, not that would be mutually exclusive. That is why we need a stronger government that works for us, not businesses.

It's almost like companies act like the humans that run them. The core fault of communism is the belief that those in power won't succumb to their own list for power and wealth.

The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which

Trade the rich business executive with the rich government bureaucrat. In the end, they look and act the same.

A.I will have no need for such power or wealth.

The point of that link was to show how pointless and beyond reason literal communists are.

You could shower them with evidence on how poverty is rapidly declining across the entire globe, how the standard of living has skyrocketed in the last 150 years, how access to food and clean water is increasing, how disease is much less of a risk now, how people are happier on average than ever, how competing for profit enriches the consumer's life, etc, but the communist has shut his mind off to logic and evidence and is instead wrapped up in a delusional religion.

The countries that are the happiest are the ones that implement socialist ideals. Countries like America are far behind.

>_> expecting enough people to do hard work to fill a need for altruism alone is an unrealistic scenario

I'm talking perfect A.I. and it still doesn't work. It will never work. The reason 70% of people do any hard work is for their own benefit. If the hardworkers aren't gaining anything more than those that do nothing, then nothing will be done.

In the future, A.I and machinery will have replaced many of us in the workplace, so even if we get lazy, it will still be fine. The whole purpose is to reduce our worktime to zero, so we can pursue our own interests.

As I said in the other topic, Stalinism isn't what we should go for.

A slow transition, with safeguards in place, and a proper A.I-centered government will work much more efficiently than what any human could hope to do.

it's worrisome that people still think communism will finally work. tc, when AI comes and communism still fails, what then?

Throwing out unrealistic scenarios isn't worth discussing.

If Communism doesn't work with an A.I-centered government, then that will have to do with the basic functioning of said A.I, and the ideals that need to be implemented weren't properly placed.

As someone whose father and grandparents suffered through and managed to escape Fidel Castro's communist dictatorship in Cuba, I (and my entire family) would like to ever so kindly tell TC to fuck off. Communism doesn't work, and it almost never happens without becoming a dictatorship and the great majority of people being screwed over.

Those were all reactionary movements.

There hasn't been many attempts at it, and I already stated how a properly organized communist society can work.
