Capitalism works for anyone who is willing to put forth an honest effort into anything.


I could point to many examples that challenge this notion, but I think the teacher strikes that just recently occurred in multiple states are good case studies to show that that is not actually true.


The teacher's union is as socialist as they come. Bad teachers are lumped in with good teachers and they're all treated the same way and paid the same way.


Yeah and since they are all pretty much underpaid good or bad you should probably shut the fuck up and let the grownups talk.


You can't call yourself a grown up when you're advocating for communism. Get out of your mom's basement.

What communism did to Romania:

https://rolandia.eu/romania-ceausescu-communist-regime/

Pretty good read. It's a high-level summary, but touches on the economic stagnation, widespread hunger and death, massive indoctrination and propaganda campaigns, and ultimate collapse of the country into a civil war to overthrow the commies. (The commies lost in the end)

communism isnt really a government system, just an economic system

the nations that practiced it were run by oligarchies (USSR post-stalin, modern-day china) and despots (maoist china, stalinist USSR, cambodia, cuba, etc)

it does generally call for the kind of extreme power in government only realistically possible in a non-representative government, though, as part of its "transition mechanism" which magically never ends (and that's why it isn't a good or realistic economic model)

I think you just aren't following what I was saying. If the US provided material aid, it was after the genocide started. You said "the killing fields started in 1975 after nam ended", which indicates that you were confusing the Cambodian-Vietnamese War that I referenced in my previous post with the US-Vietnamese War. Otherwise, why would you say that?

Edit: and I don't know why I'm even bothering. You're not providing any sort of defense of communism by bringing this up.

Here's your CE homework for today:
Think about why communism has a strong association with autocracies. Contrast this with thinking about why the only notable capitalist autocracy (so far anyway) is pretty much just Mussolini, for awhile at least.

The countries that employed "communism" had very few resources or resource gathering potential. Also, revolutions create power vacuums that engender having an iron grip on the newly formed government and they're also rife with corruption.

This was homework 15 years ago.

It's not the truth, only a fucking charlatan or child would really argue that native Americans practiced communism.

And I already answered that childish question multiple times - the politicians who want to censor the internet with bullshit censorship laws like the ones the EU and Australia want to implement. You can shut the fuck up about that now.

What in god's name are you blabbering about, dude?

There was never any long-lasting or large commune of any kind that scaled any type of communism into the modern era. It simply doesn't work. All of the tribes, for the most part, engaged in warfare and violence and profit-seeking.

Capitalism coincides with a radical reduction in global violence over the last 200 years, because free trade and currency are proxies for warfare and violence. Society has become notably less violent/more peaceful over time. Far moreso than any population that was around hundreds of years ago.

Wars based around statist uprisings, but the world is safer constantly...that is just due to all the great advancements in medicine and technology, which coincidentally seem to come from capitalist economies.

The native Americans werent even close to communist. They had very little government structure.


Communism is an economic system, not a governing one.

What in god's name are you blabbering about, dude?

There was never any long-lasting or large commune of any kind that scaled any type of communism into the modern era. It simply doesn't work. All of the tribes, for the most part, engaged in warfare and violence and profit-seeking.

Capitalism coincides with a radical reduction in global violence over the last 200 years, because free trade and currency are proxies for warfare and violence. Society has become notably less violent/more peaceful over time. Far moreso than any population that was around hundreds of years ago.

Yeah that radical reduction in global violence that in the last century gave us the two largest and bloodiest wars ever fought in recorded history.


The data is indisputable - the world has become much less violent in the last 150 years. Like, a crazy amount less violent. The two world wars had large absolute numbers of casualities but that doesn't change the trend.

Communism is both an economic system and a governance model. Ultimately economics and governance are heavily intertwined so you can't really have one without the other.

Communism is only an economic system. How an economy distributes goods is an economic issue. How an economy is taxed is a government issue. And yes, Native American economics is the most successful form of communism detailed.
