COMUNISM is based on the fact that people are nice and honest and won't abuse power.
Shamefully, this has no correlation with real life.
ANY AND ALL COMMUNIST LEADERS ARE DICTATORS
Okay, you made your point.
Now let's talk about democratic socialism.
"No no, it'll be better this time. I promise."
That is what "argument is purely against existing historical applications" immediately puts into my head.
"Am I admitting that I don't"
Ok monkey, you're talking about a system of governance that everyone would be a part of in the richest country on Earth. That country being filled with people who have all been taught that "fuck you I got mine" is the law of the world.
Magically, somehow, in every one of every Communist garbage essays I've seen on this site; you people fail to recognize the key factor that will absolutely cause communism to fail. People. "No no, control will go to the right people, you'll see!"
Sick brigading, now shut the fuck up.
Por que no los dos
Love how justmy2c is gonna ignore this comment because it completely destroys their argument.
Yup ignoring your actual argument about why Capitalism is better at regulating greed. Because they know it isn't, they have to ignore that, and rely on whataboutisms, while ignoring the fact that Capitalism doesn't even work on paper. Classic.
A small tiny example can be this: a communist government buys from China, shitty works, no guarantee, high interests, no local staff hired.
A capitalist government buys (loans) from us and actually has an insurance and guarantee and warranty that their hidroeléctric dam will be finished and 100% of promised capacity.
One is basically STEALING (with help of local president, in south am or Africa or Asia).
The other may make rich people Richer.
BUT AT LEAST THE PROJECT IS DONE.
AND THE US IS NOT ASKING FOR 11% INTERÉS NOR FOR 3$ DISCOUNT ON EACH BARREL OF CRUDE. NOR TO SIGN AWAY THE GALÁPAGOS ISLANDS IF DEFAULT ON DEBT. (this is Ecuador, I can do Venezuela or argentina or african countries too, just let me know which you want a passionate lecture on.
LET THE DOWNVOATS COMMENCE.
I guess in some forms a lack of authority to make sure people aren't abusing each other
No, it's the lack of respect for common sense and the extreme greed of its leaders. Historically 99.99% of comunist leaders live lavish lifestyles, kids in private schools and holidays in miami
Careful now, these are tankie-infested waters we sail teehee
I'm a brave soldier, they can call me what they want, but I'm ONLY RIGHT WING WHEN IN SOUTH AMERICA
In Europe I'm left wing!
