Copies our position, Sad!

2018-05-29 04:37:50 UTC

jesus christ, i'm not even a stalinist or a maoist but this is too much

2018-05-29 04:37:53 UTC

Until woopsie daisy good old Mao took power and โ€œaccidentallyโ€ murdered 10โ€™s of millions

2018-05-29 04:38:08 UTC

His first position was to give money as a gift to foreigners

2018-05-29 04:38:15 UTC

Then he made it a carbon copy of ours

2018-05-29 04:38:16 UTC

FUCK ME OUR GROUP WAS GOOD BUT HE HAD TO DICK IT UP GOD DAMMIT

2018-05-29 04:38:20 UTC

Then he deleted it!

2018-05-29 04:38:21 UTC

yes, this is due to failings in maoist doctrine but he still managed to bring china into the first world.

2018-05-29 04:38:21 UTC

Even now they struggle, starvation is common, price of living is too high, birth limits

2018-05-29 04:38:22 UTC

Why is there an anarchist party ๐Ÿ˜‚

2018-05-29 04:38:30 UTC
2018-05-29 04:38:42 UTC

Thats kinda interesting

2018-05-29 04:38:50 UTC

BECUASE COMMUNISM CAN NEVER REALISTICALLY BE ACHIEVED

2018-05-29 04:38:52 UTC

Counter productive no?

2018-05-29 04:38:57 UTC

the fact that anarchism can be a party...

2018-05-29 04:39:32 UTC

You keep excusing massive failures and genocides with โ€œoh it wasnโ€™t real communismโ€ and โ€œit was a small price too payโ€

2018-05-29 04:40:04 UTC

But you just face the facts that it simply cannot be achieved, otherwise it would have been achieved by now.

2018-05-29 04:40:33 UTC

but it has been

2018-05-29 04:40:47 UTC

Where?

2018-05-29 04:40:53 UTC

Where has it been achieved?

2018-05-29 04:41:18 UTC

Vietnam? Nope

2018-05-29 04:41:23 UTC

Laos? No

2018-05-29 04:41:32 UTC

Ethiopia? Definately NOT

2018-05-29 04:41:35 UTC

China? Fell back on capitalism

2018-05-29 04:41:36 UTC

the cnt-fai in the spanish civil war, for one

2018-05-29 04:41:41 UTC

in vietnam 99% of the population believes the free market is good according to pew

2018-05-29 04:41:52 UTC

Why thanks for that info

2018-05-29 04:41:55 UTC

democratic socialism in allende's chile and dubcek's czechoslovakia

2018-05-29 04:42:05 UTC

Where has fascism been achieved?

2018-05-29 04:42:06 UTC

communes in europe during the 1848 revolutions

2018-05-29 04:42:10 UTC

the paris commune

2018-05-29 04:42:22 UTC

>Allende's Chile

2018-05-29 04:42:32 UTC

He was voted in with 36% of the vote

2018-05-29 04:42:42 UTC

yes, due to divisions in the other major parties

2018-05-29 04:42:48 UTC

Paris Commune quickly fell apart

2018-05-29 04:42:57 UTC

In a matter of months actually

2018-05-29 04:42:59 UTC

it didn't fall apart, it was invaded

2018-05-29 04:42:59 UTC

When Pinochet had a final vote on whether he should leave or stay, 44% of the population voted for him to stay.

2018-05-29 04:43:15 UTC

because all the leftists got offed.

2018-05-29 04:43:40 UTC

The military dictator that overthrew the "democratic socialist" government was more popular than the fucking democratic socialist

2018-05-29 04:43:59 UTC

Chile is a nation with 18 million people

2018-05-29 04:44:14 UTC

They would have needed to kill millions of people to have a result

2018-05-29 04:44:28 UTC

Not above communists

2018-05-29 04:44:39 UTC

Thatโ€™s a simple price to pay

2018-05-29 04:45:29 UTC

most death counts are vastly overblown and arose due to various factors beyond their control

2018-05-29 04:45:43 UTC

and even if they did kill all of those people with their dirty, grubby hands

2018-05-29 04:45:49 UTC

what about capitalism's death toll?

2018-05-29 04:46:04 UTC

right, the governments under capitalism killed many people

2018-05-29 04:46:10 UTC

That has existed for hundreds of years versus decades

2018-05-29 04:46:22 UTC

I'm sure you're gonna include heart disease on the same level as being sent to a gulag and frozen to death

2018-05-29 04:46:24 UTC

You call causing a famine or killing your own people because they refused to give you their cows factors they cant control

2018-05-29 04:47:04 UTC

Havig tanks run over villahes for refusal to believe in the communist party

2018-05-29 04:47:11 UTC

Or just killing anyone against it

2018-05-29 04:47:29 UTC

How

2018-05-29 04:47:31 UTC

Will they

2018-05-29 04:47:33 UTC

Recover

2018-05-29 04:47:46 UTC

i never said that i agreed with authoritarian measures. but when capitalism needed tweaking, we didn't throw it out, did we?

2018-05-29 04:48:34 UTC

limiting the reach of the market is not the same as implementing a system as autistic as communism

2018-05-29 04:48:39 UTC

The thing is Capitalism can work when changed

2018-05-29 04:48:48 UTC

It is run by a market and the people

2018-05-29 04:48:59 UTC

so can socialism, when the government represents the interests of the people

2018-05-29 04:49:04 UTC

right

2018-05-29 04:49:11 UTC

since when do fascists care about things being run by the people?

2018-05-29 04:49:14 UTC

Tfw youโ€™re a commie but donโ€™t want a totalitarian

2018-05-29 04:49:22 UTC

By itโ€™s nature Capitalism is constantly shifting

2018-05-29 04:49:40 UTC

when it benefits the national interest it can be very healthy

2018-05-29 04:49:59 UTC

Thats what fascism is about ^

2018-05-29 04:50:08 UTC

but it still reflects the same core values of people with the most capital obtaining more and more capital and having a stranglehold on the means of production.

2018-05-29 04:50:16 UTC

capitalism, i mean.

2018-05-29 04:50:27 UTC

a small business owner is not strangling the hold on the means of production

2018-05-29 04:50:44 UTC

I think heโ€™s talking about the larger companies

2018-05-29 04:50:49 UTC

that i am.

2018-05-29 04:51:05 UTC

you can have deals worked out between the working class and business owner

2018-05-29 04:51:22 UTC

Even then, new companies come along and reinvent things to make it better, thus changing a new cycle in the market

2018-05-29 04:51:33 UTC

but the business owner will still control the means of production and will still control the flow of capital

2018-05-29 04:51:38 UTC

so?

2018-05-29 04:51:48 UTC

Because he runs and manages the business

2018-05-29 04:52:07 UTC

It makes logical sense he controls where it goes based off of perfomance

2018-05-29 04:52:10 UTC

if a person can still feed his family and be fulfilled at the end of the day, what is wrong with that

2018-05-29 04:52:11 UTC

really? business owners delegate most of their tasks anyways.

2018-05-29 04:52:14 UTC

And the needs of the company

2018-05-29 04:52:32 UTC

and why shouldn't the workers, if that were the case, elect their bosses or something similar?

2018-05-29 04:52:44 UTC

because the boss put up the money

2018-05-29 04:52:53 UTC

Because if that was the case it would be musical chairs with businesses

2018-05-29 04:52:58 UTC

to buy the lot in the first place and build the company

2018-05-29 04:53:14 UTC

because of the material conditions that they were born in, that they had no control over?

2018-05-29 04:53:31 UTC

who's to say exactly

2018-05-29 04:54:20 UTC

anyways, there should be access at the lower levels of capital to build a business

2018-05-29 04:54:36 UTC

would thomas edison be able to still invent the lightbulb if he wasn't born into a middle-class family, educated, and given jobs to where he had the opportunity to tinker with various electrical components and acquire enough capital to start a business?

2018-05-29 04:54:41 UTC

and a father who built his business should be allowed to pass it on to his offspring

2018-05-29 04:54:42 UTC

to put that risk forward?

2018-05-29 04:54:54 UTC

Would somebody in uganda be able to do the same?

2018-05-29 04:55:17 UTC

would they be able to do anything if they had no source of running water or roads to travel to town?

2018-05-29 04:55:26 UTC

we have roads and we have running water

2018-05-29 04:55:28 UTC

we are not ancaps

2018-05-29 04:55:33 UTC

the market has an endpoint

2018-05-29 04:56:10 UTC

you absolutely should be able to have a decent education at a lower income gap

2018-05-29 04:56:23 UTC

Yes, what i'm saying is that "because somebody put the effort forth to start a business" isn't a good argument because so much of that is due to material conditions one is offered at birth or other circumstanced beyond their control

2018-05-29 04:56:48 UTC

what I'm saying is that implementing fucking communism to accomplish that is an extreme and idiotic overcorrection
