Threads like this make me miss the sort by controversial. Oh well. If you have chores, or something else to do, maybe go do that instead of reading this thread. It's mostly shit slinging and people straw manning one another.
If anyone else came here to just talk about stuff, I'm willing to talk about how great cats and dogs are. Also open to hearing you out if you don't like cats or dogs, but I want you to know that I strongly disagree with your opinion.
The idea that you only get to choose between either predatory Capitalism or corrupt Communism as your society is pretty pathetic. Truly we have some of the minds of all time in this thread.
No one said you had to do corrupt communism. Just do Star Trek communism instead
Communism is not corrupt, it can be corrupted like any form of government, but it is not inherently corrupt.
Communism inherently requires authoritarian goverment to survive and authoritarian goverments are always rife with corruption.
No, but PEOPLE are. Capitalism simply balances it via competitive forces. Comunism can't balance it. REAL LIFE AIN'T NO MARX BOOK Ps capitalism SHOULD be truly checked and balanced by government ๐
So ITS balanced OUT by competition YET still NEEDS to be balanced by THE government... WHICH is it?
"It's raining cats and dogs - poodlellujah!"
I love cats and dogs but can only have cats at home what do
Make friends with someone with a dog. That way you can visit and pet the dog whenever you're visiting your friend.
I'd even buy a dog if I knew someone who would take care of it (in my house) during trips!
Who 't f would downvote that. Tankies brigading?
This is genius
