Hasan & Mandani is bigger than ever
- mittensc 5mo agocommunism means taking everything from regular people to give to the elite.
- tharkun__ 5mo agoFunnily enough capitalism is trying to do the exact same thing! I guess communism was more efficient at doing it! (bit tongue in cheek of course - I guess capitalism is better at pretending/leaving enough scraps for the masses so they don't notice as much)
- glacier9147 5mo agoCapitalism is just really good at telling people the reason they are poor is because they just don't work as hard as the elites
- Scroll_Swe 5mo agoYet people want to live in capitalist countries the most. Curious.
- mittensc 5mo agowhat other options do you have? capitalism can work with say 99% tax on estate on death. No trust funds. Tax on wealth above a certain point. Rule of law with sharp teeth. Proper investment in education. Proper anti monopoly so all large corporations gets broken up to avoid their power consolidation... communism is dictatorship in disguise. then you have old style feudalism with aristocracy. anything else?
- Scroll_Swe 5mo agoWhat are the top countries to live in the world?
- mittensc 5mo agoyou tell me
- Scroll_Swe 5mo agowestern/nordic europe, japan, singapore, usa, canada All capitalist.
- Tepix 5mo agoSource? Or are you merely arguing that it means that in practice? I‘m sure if people want communism, they want the idealistic version.

- mittensc 5mo agowhat do you think? now ask yourself, who are the true communists in the US?
- Scroll_Swe 5mo ago>I‘m sure if people want communism, they want the idealistic version. That is what I mean. They don't want to live like the Soviets or Venezuelans or Cubans. They have a madeup idealistic version that is not real, never was and never will.
