Why does everyone think the only alternative to capitalism is communism?
I don't think everyone believes that, there are many Anarchists that don't agree with Marxists, and there's broad diversity within Capitalist thought, Anarchist thought, and Marxist thought. For example, Anarchists take issue with hierarchy above all else, and so wish to establish generally a horizontal, decentralized network of communes, while Marxists take issue with Class, and so wish to have a fully publicly owned and planned economy run along democratic lines, ie everyone in the world will share equal ownership of all industry.
The reason why you may be seeing more Marxists is generally because Marxism has played the most widespread and significant role as an alternative to Capitalism in modern history.
I mean what do you propose, I mean I personaly do not want to regress farther to fudalism
I watched a video that had dr. Robotnik say how is going to take over the US Healthcare system and make it hell... then shadow keeps interjecting to tell him that his plans are actually a vast improvement over the system, and Robotnik is then left unsure what to think.
Phoenicianpirate is talking about this. :P
Why would you do this? Why provide a link to the youtube video but have it hyperlink to this post?
Even better, since his IQ is like 300
Dumb question, what is this meme format about?
Yeonmi Park, DPRK defector and conservative media darling. Claims of her life in North Korea are debated hotly- things along the lines of they eat rats and the like.
Thanks!
My favorite bit is that she's well known for her exaggerations about the DPRK, yet will say US college campuses run by liberals "remind her of it." Lmao
So, the joke here is that you've got someone, presumably a Chinese official, saying a reality about America in a startling way that sounds like completely cooked up propaganda but isn't.
It would still be propaganda. Propaganda doesn't have to be false.
Right, yes, but the joke is that it's said in such a way as to sound like an outright fabrication.
“In America, they take your money for bombs and billionaires.”
Socialism: A system of government where the country's wealth is concentrated into a small, ruling class of billionaires, who use the media they own to keep the lower classes fighting with each other while they . . . the rich . . . run off with all the farking money.
Oh wait. that's capitalism. I don't know how I got those two systems confused.
Then go live in China 🤡
Bro I just said I don't want diabetics to pay 300usd per month for insulin jfc
China which is... also capitalism, but instead of CEOs there's The Party
And there is only one Party. Either you're in, or you're in the way.
Sounds pretty familiar
Nahh mate we got a choice in the US 🤡
Well, technically speaking, if it's the same shit from the same ass but you can chose your favorite buttcheek, you do have a choice.
Up until recently you really did. US citizens decided to not have it, so who knows in the future, but you really did.
American really cannot do comparative analysis, they believe that their country is the only one in the world and very unique, so it's hard for american brain to comprehend that some countries are better at something and some are worse. They need to be either the best or the worst.
Up until recently you really did.
Not in my life time... or ever really. Political process is captured by the two party regime.
Do you want to get fucked and dirty or slow?
This attitude betrays that you never actually engaged with it besides reading about a candidate 2 minutes before casting a vote that one time and never again.
US is a stone’s throw from these groups becoming one and the same.
How dare we want our country to be better and for our fellow citizens to not die in cartoonishly preventable ways? /s
Not to mention that those same people will post shit about “why are we helping foreigners when people at home are suffering”-sorry stop me if you’ve heard this one ten-thousand times before.
I literally had to tell people libertarianism fails harder and faster than communism was getting weird stares until I told them about the book "a libertarian walks into a bear"
I still look like a raging communist but idc
I have multiple times had the experience of explaining to non-Americans elements of our system, and they simply don’t believe me. They think I’m making it up to fuck with them because it’s so atrocious that it couldn’t be real.
Kind of has a point that modern "communist" systems in practice seem identical to all the bad parts of Capitalism.
Your problem is neither capitalism nor communism.
Your problem is greedy cunts. Both systems will end up putting them in charge.
That's because people who aren't greedy don't seek that kind of position.
Phrase I picked up from Well There's Your Problem: centrally unplanned economy.
One company, Baxter, makes 95% of the saline IV solution for the US. Most of it comes from one factory in Marion, N.C. It has been hit by natural disasters before and caused shortages. One happened just this past few months.
