There's no real push for that to happen. This is about crashing an economy, stealing wealth and creating a a massive almost slave labor class at the bottom.

So it’s about communism? No the other guys wanted that.

[-] Olhonestjim@lemmy.world 0 points 1 month ago

Communism is exactly the opposite of that. You're thinking of late stage capitalism.

[-] FreedomAdvocate@lemmy.net.au -1 points 4 weeks ago

Stealing wealth and creating a slave class is what happens in communism. Every. Single. Time.

Somebody needs to learn to use Wikipedia.

[-] FreedomAdvocate@lemmy.net.au -1 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago)

Someone needs to learn not to blindly believe Wikipedia.

Which communist countries/states is this not the case btw?

[-] Olhonestjim@lemmy.world 0 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago)

Somebody needs to learn not to blindly believe a century of capitalist propaganda. At least Wikipedia cites sources.

You made the claim. You said every single time. Citation required.

Which communist countries aren’t like I said? I’m saying they all are. If you disagree, name one that isn’t.

Which communist countries have an even distribution of wealth and no ruling class?

[-] Olhonestjim@lemmy.world 0 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago)

If you had ever done a modest amount of the hard, actual, honest work of examining positions other than the standard one issued by your government, you would already be asking better, more interesting questions. You think that's the only one you need to ask, don't you?

I know you haven't put the work in, because I have. I don't owe you a debate. I doubt you have ever even changed your mind. So why should I give you the fruits of my labor? They wrote books, after all. Have you got the guts to read them?

Every single time, you claimed. Cite your sources. Do the work or fuck off, lazy-ass.

[-] FreedomAdvocate@lemmy.net.au -1 points 4 weeks ago

My sources are every single time communism has been attempted by a country lol.

Can you provide an example where it has worked and hasn’t resulted in extreme wealth inequality and a rich ruling class and slave-level working class?

[-] Olhonestjim@lemmy.world 0 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago)

Not good enough. You haven't even wondered why.

[-] FreedomAdvocate@lemmy.net.au -3 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago)

It’s “not good enough” for someone that wants to pretend communism works, while being unable to give a single example of a country where it has worked lol.

My evidence of communism ending in extreme wealth inequality and a ruling class is every single time any country has attempted communism. There are zero communist countries that don’t have extreme wealth inequality and a wealthy ruling class. That’s my evidence. You haven’t, and seemingly can’t, provide any contrary evidence.

Again - which communist countries don’t have extreme wealth inequality and a ruling class?

It's not good enough to get me interested discussing it further with you. You just keep repeating the same dumb, boring question. You think it's a gotcha, but you haven't thought about it even slightly.

[-] FreedomAdvocate@lemmy.net.au -3 points 4 weeks ago

I keep repeating it because you keep avoiding answering it, because you don’t like the answer.

[-] Olhonestjim@lemmy.world 0 points 4 weeks ago

I don't care. You can have that last word you so desperately crave.

[-] FreedomAdvocate@lemmy.net.au -3 points 4 weeks ago

Still waiting on that answer. I hope it’s coming soon.

[-] frog_brawler@lemmy.world 0 points 4 weeks ago

Nope… you make the claim, you present the evidence to back your claim or you fuck right off back to Reddit.

[-] FreedomAdvocate@lemmy.net.au -1 points 4 weeks ago

My evidence is literally every time throughout history that any country has gone communist.

You just have to show me one time when it hasn’t happened.

[-] GenosseFlosse@feddit.org 0 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago)

Remember the slaves with 12+ public holidays a year, 20+ vacation days, free healthcare, free education, free child care and price controls for rent and food and no billionaires and job security?

East Germany and pretty much all other eastern block countries till ~1990.

[-] FreedomAdvocate@lemmy.net.au -1 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

So they're still communist countries? No? Why not? Sounds like it was a utopia.
