Yes, You're A Communist

Did you read the manifesto? No you didn't. That is all fluff talk, besides "common ownership" is impossible in a stateless society. That is why the "anarcho-communist" view is absolutely hilariously contradictory.

Here is one of the historical moments of communism: 100 million dead.

And hjere is the actual manifesto, if someone wants to read the horrors of what communism is about. And yes, the basket case communist countries have every right to call themselves communist based on this. (Maybe with the exception of China, which is nowadays one party dictatorship, and has abandoned the communist vision).

Pure capitalism is simply not comparable to communism. Free individuals in the absence of coercion achieve amazing things, and very productive countries. This is a fact.

Actually it doesn't back up your point of view. The ideals of communism was a reaction to 1 percent of the population owning 99 percent of the wealth (sound familiar), with that 1 percent not willing to play nice. That is what happens when greedy people throw 99 percent of the rest to the wolves. Thus pure capitalism doesn't work..

Dude, the communist manifesto is laid right there in front of you. Please present to me right now where it lays out a realistic plan to build a "society for the people", instead of one of coercion. The ideals of a communism was born of a man who was possibly in the 1 %, and didn't work a day in his life. This guy is the definition of 1 %er not playing nice. Not very surprisingly, In communism what happens is that if you don't agree with the 1 %, you are put to death.

Speaking of that, what do you mean by the 1 % not willing to play nice? Not giving people all your earnings is not playing nice? Do you yourself donate all your wealth? Sorry, but it's clear that you have received the Marxist indoctrination. No one sane in this age becomes a commie apologist unless indoctrinated.

No, very pure capitalism actually does work. What you have there is bunch of imaginary made up tales. Singapore is doing extremely nicely (and there are no wolf problems there that I am aware of). And no it's not completely "pure" capitalism, nothing completely pure actually exists, so you can forget that lane of defense right there.

Pure capitalism requires allowing the capitalists command of what does or doesn't go on.

That never works.

Capitalists = every individual person. Indeed, every individual person gets to fully decide what he wants to do under capitalism. No one gets to just take resources of others at a threat of imprisonment, like in communism.

Indeed it works, and it works always. Sorry that facts don't agree with you. Turns out theft and murder doesn't work (who would have guessed?).

Thank you for blessing us with your words of wisdom.

However, serving people their own misguided and raw beliefs is how learning takes place. If you believe that you should not treat people in accordance to their own standards, well you have just failed the ultimate test of morality and ethics. Let's also not forget the value of satire...

The communist vision has been that people should be killed if they don't believe things which are completely nonfactual (such as: all people are the same). I would think that if you hold such beliefs, you can tolerate a few not so nice words. Words can't kill you, but the very real communist bullets will, and have killed many.

That about concludes my thoughts on the matter.

You're welcome!

I realize how important the adolescent insults are to you - somehow how you don't realize that you keep illustrating the point I made in the post you yourself reference.

How ironic.

When the day comes that you're willing to attempt a standard, adult conversation, you let me know.

Not holding my breath, of course.

Of course! That's what it is!

O.K., 'Poli', here's #625.

What's your max? What are you shooting for?

Hey, everyone, quick! Add a post, any post, so 'chic can get a 'high'. Come on, it's painless and we can give her a cheap thrill. She's worth it.....(?).....

Capitalists are people.
Capitalism is the liberal use of liquid assets, especially money, in such a way as to generate a percentage of profit in return.

 

[there4eyeM]

#628
Communism is a noun. There are many forms of communal living situations which can be described as communist.
Karl Marx originated a political approach he called Communism. This is one form.
Marxist Communism has not been successful in any lasting way in any of the attempts bearing its name. It has degenerated into authoritarianism, the downfall of monarchy, Fascism and any other absurd attempt to replace the human with the state.

 

[there4eyeM]

#629
States are human concepts. The noun, 'state', is of human origin and is, thus created by man.
Placing the creator below the creation is absurd.

This should be remembered concerning all nouns and other words. They are symbols and of human origin.

The word, 'right', especially needs attention in all its senses.

You say COmmunism, then at the bottom it says Socialism. Er...

YOU SAY TOMATO and I say TOMAHTO ...................

Communism and Socialism aren't the same thing.

Socialism has the govt running things, Communism demands the end of hierarchical government. For a start.

".....the left has been clever by using “very non-threatening words,” like liberal, progressive and concerned citizens, for advancing government control of American lives. The truth about Cuban politics is hard to find because of media spin and propaganda dominating American discourse.

For Blazquez, watching American youth embrace avowed socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders for president, strikes him as “absurd.” It is the end result, he says, of the cultural marxist education and media propaganda that has anesthetized too many Americans who do not defend the values that made America exceptional."

You know what's the best aspect of PoliticalChic's ranting and raving.

None of what she appears to believe in will ever ever ever be the mainstream majority view in America.

She is doomed to a lifetime of defeat.

Useless claim...but, whatever.

If you really think that is the case, why do you keep responding. Seems you can't help yourself.

Of course, your views are not going to gain much acceptance either.

"Communism is the exploitation of man by man, whereas capitalism is the inverse."

No, very pure capitalism actually does work. What you have there is bunch of imaginary made up tales. Singapore is doing extremely nicely (and there are no wolf problems there that I am aware of). And no it's not completely "pure" capitalism, nothing completely pure actually exists, so you can forget that lane of defense right there.

Singapore is an island state that has no primary industry, and is basically a financial institution in itself. Ask all the people who work in the service industries there if it is all wine and roses. And they are control freaks. No long hair, no smoking in public (not that it bothers me), no chewing gum. A one-party state more or less. Great way to make your point.

 

[ScienceRocks]

Pure capitalism= child labor, slavery, small number of super rich and massive % of super poor...Pure capitalism looks like hell to me. Thank god that the labor movement expected something out of the government that they elect. I'll be voting mostly democrat this nov.

 

[ScienceRocks]

I'll take 1950 with a huge middle class with most of the population being able to afford a family, house, care, etc on one income over 1880. 1950 the rich paid 70% of their income in taxes and America invested big time within itself.

1880 a few super rich men controlled most of the wealth like a present day central American country....

Government regulations and workers rights made the 40's, 50's and 60's....Shame that we have lost most of that.

Indeed it works, and it works always. Sorry that facts don't agree with you. Turns out theft and murder doesn't work (who would have guessed?).

Actually, they don't get to decide fully. I want to be a doctor. Oh, I can't. I didn't get the grades. You mean you don't pay taxes? And if you do, do you get to decide how much is or isn't spent on this or that? Do you drive on roads? Most are paid for by state and fed govts. No person is an island.

As I said, a mixture of both socialism and capitalism works. As for your version of communism. No thanks
