Communism Sucks

[Penelope]

According to the Financial Times the government would allow private sector involvement in over 2000 professions. It only allows the private sector to be involved in just over 100 professions currently. Other reforms include the end of subsidies to state-owned companies, even if this leads to their failure.

Cuba has been suffering from a number of sanctions that were enforced by the Trump administration, which it is hoped will be scrapped or loosened by Joe Biden. The island has also seen foreign tourists, a key source of income, decline significantly, by over 80%, due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

Cuba to reform economy, allow more private enterprise - Daily Friend

Cuba, the Communist dictatorship in the Caribbean, is to reform its economy to allow greater private sector activity. Over the weekend the Cuban government said

Does communism suck?

It's the rick verses the poor, like the US will become with only the republicans in place.

 

[Votto]

Yes, communism sucks.

I'm glad we can move on now.

Yes, move on the censoring those who the political elite does not like on social media.

Move on the increasing the size and power of a centralized federal government.

Move on to government increasing their power to redistribute wealth for "social justice"

And continue to stay silent about those in Hong Kong and Cuba who are struggling for the same freedoms that are disappearing in the US today.

Well said.

Cuba’s socialist government refuses to publish data on how its fitful transition out of communism has altered Cubans’ class status. But check out where Cubans get their fix of cold, sweet treats, and you can pinpoint their exact place in the island’s newly emerging socio-economic ladder.

To understand Cuba’s emerging class system, try the ice cream

Some say Fidel Castro personally invented the recipe, redolent in milk, cream, and sugar, for Cuba's national ice cream.

It's astonishing that you would defend a regime that has kept their population in fear and poverty.

So in other words, communism doesn't suck so bad when you have sympathetic leaders in countries like the US.

You have a President who just recently quoted Stalin. Don't expect him to do much in the way of making communism suck more...

It's no longer just about who gets to vote or making it easier for eligible voters to vote. It's about who gets to count the vote

He said the quiet part out loud again.

"It's about who gets to count the votes"

Biden’s nutty speech in Philadelphia capped by reference to notorious quote attributed to Stalin

Morally bankrupt and intellectually dishonest people are not astonishing to me, just the norm these days.

Yes, communism sucks. I'm glad we can move on now.

Commies are in a hurry to "move on". This is because commies don't like being exposed. When you flip the lights on in a cheap hotel room, the cockroaches scurry for cover in dark places.

Name some American "commies", and provide examples of how they are advocating for complete government ownership of all American production and distribution.

Thanks in advance.

"Communism" has been the catch-all term for all things Marxist since the 1950s. It is not limited to your textbook definition.

Why?

 

[EvMetro]

I mean, it really does.

Agree? Disagree?

Yes it does but stop worshiping Capitalism. It's just another ISM. And it's being ruined slowly just like Communism.

I'm sure communism sounded good to the people at first. Why? Because whatever the ISM was they had before, sucked. What ISM was there before Communism? It must have sucked worse.

We all know the saying Capitalism is the worst except for all the other ism's, right? Well slowly we see the rich are taking over. The unions are being broken. The social programs and safety nets are being done away with. Citizens United allowed the rich to rule our elections. They allowed the rich to buy up all our media and control it thus controlling us. Free Market Capitalism is not a good thing my friend. Only well regulated capitalism works. Unregulated capitalism will lead to a small rich ruling class, small merchant class and the masses will be known as the rabble. AKA the working poor.

GM used to be our largest employer. Today it's Walmart.

Commies hate capitalism.

And capitalists hate commies. So what?

This is why you hate capitalism.

Commies like to present the notion that only card carrying members of a communist party are commies. They do this so they can hide behind political identifiers like Democrat, libertarian, republican, moderate, etc.

I'm glad we're all in agreement against communism.

I'm sure that will end this silly "commie" bullshit for anyone who dares to disagree with Trumpsters.

Cool!

[norwegen]

It depends. In a Nation like us? It wouldnt work. It would never even happen because it will just breed tyranny and they wont let go of power as we have seen with every "communist" country.
If we were all individual settlements or something like that? It would be fine.

Wishy-washy answer of the day. Typical leftwing "clarity."

This is why you hate capitalism.

I don't hate capitalism. In fact a long time ago I realized if you can't beat them join them. So I'm one of the highest paid people at my non unionized company.

I realize the difference between unregulated capitalism and well regulated capitalism. If done right we have a booming middle class. Do we have a booming middle class today? Did we under Obama? Please don't tell me we did for 4 years but didn't the years before or after. Please don't embellish. The fact is, the American middle class isn't what it once was even during the Great Trump years.

The middle class started disappearing and getting poorer right during Reagan. Corporations broke the social contract with workers. Think GE. Walsh let go the bottom 10% of his work force every year. Before that workers could expect to work for the same company for 30 years. Today it's 5 years. Look how many Americans aren't saving enough, owe huge student debt and can't afford to have kids or buy a home. GM was the largest employer now it's Walmart.

Our way produces a huge middle class. Your way creates a small rich class, small merchant class and the masses are working poor. I'm a merchant.

Where did you get the idea that the middle class was disappearing, or that living standards in America have fallen since the Reagan Era?

Homes are larger than ever, middle class amenities like color TV and central A/C have increased tremendously since then. Ditto with cars, SUV's , minivans, orthodontics industry, etc.

So you have been trying to beat capitalism since a long time ago. You have a long history of being a commie

What would have to do with what you quoted of me?

I see you are on this thread to defend communism.

 

[Mac1958]

I see you are on this thread to defend communism.

I have no doubt that that's what you perceive.

"Yes, communism sucks", I said, but you perceive something else.

Such are the thought processes of Trumpsters.

 

[EvMetro]

Yes, communism sucks.

I'm glad we can move on now.

I bet you are anxious to move on. Your desire to move on contradicts your first sentence. Typical commie looking to hide what he is.

Let's see if you can back up words. I'll try again.

1. What is communism?

2. Exactly what makes me a "commie"?

This should be easy for you.

Go.
