No it isn't

>From each according to their ability
But also
>To each according to their needs

Your needs determine what you gain, you're not supposed to get more than you need

No, that's wrong

That's central planning

You're not supposed to get more than you need by means of socialism, but you can enrich yourself further beyond your needs

AFTER all people's needs are met

If everyone's needs are met, you can enrich yourself. The true problem of communism lies beyond this idea. It's not about equality.

Jack, I know the realistic problems of communism, but we're talking about the theory

In theory, equality doesn't matter in communism

You gotta at least acknowledge the theory first, because you would want the same courtesy from others about your own ideas

Then you can go into the realizability

Marx was actually a lot less radical than today's AntiFa type

Communism is less radical than the idea of strict equality

Marx only predicted the revolution, he didn't say there has to be a revolution

And he predicted wrongly

There will be no revolution, at least not for the reasons he thought

Yeah that ratio is very clear, get a helicopter

What is even essentialism?

Aight yeah

I'd be very essentialist then

Which makes me a white supremacist of course

I don't trust any of these tests

High likelihood that at least one of the bars is incorrect

I think the political compass is complete trash

Even two dimensions are trash

And with three dimensions it would only increase the likelihood of a fuck-up

Ok, so

Here's just one of the problems with a philosophical dichotomy

Nihilism on one side, ok
The opposite would be... what?

Ok so far so good, then the next problem

Where does absurdism go?

Well, see

It just shows how much can go wrong with these tests

By the way on the political test it should be capitalism - socialism, not capitalism - communism
cap - com is not a true dichotomy

Nihilism is pretty much the ultimate black pill

Hard to function as a human being when you're a complete 100% nihilist

100% nihilism would be literally nothing matters, meaning nothing matters to you either

Technically as an absolutist nihilist you can do anything you want, but it would all be devoid of meaning, so you could only have fun if you enjoy doing meaningless things, otherwise death may be your only real option.

@JoeyJoestar1337 sounds like absurdism might interest you

Yeah

Said the nihilist

That's not a contradiction if you've only formulated the wish, not done the deed

According to a recent video I watched, the average person can only have a handful true friends, the rest are just people they know

That's nothing out of the ordinary

It used to be normal pre 21st century

I hear they screw over veterans regularly

Not sure if true

Caring for your children? That's so 14th century

The finest bigotry imaginable

We're clearly living in hell if not everyone wants to have sex with everyone else

Oh noes, a story contains bad things, boo and hoo

These people would literally claim a story with a villain propagates being a villain

In Austria we have mandatory civil service for those who refuse to do military service. It builds character. The US should implement the same system.

Would not surprise me if this was one of the reasons why Austria still has a strong conservative voter base.

Yeah. I should add that I believe mandatory services should only exist in a society that has a government and a democratic process. In my ideal society there would be no mandatory services, but in the US it makes perfect sense. I think it makes no sense to argue taxes and regulations are good, but mandatory service is bad.

If anything, mandatory service would ensure that the government gives every citizen a first chance to get a foot in the door, since quite a few people who enter military or civil services end up working there a lot longer than originally intended, plus it looks really good on the CV.

Especially people who argue that people from a certain background can't get a job would be morally required to support this.

I like this debate

Goddamn, there's nothing special about Soph

She's a kid, woop-dee-doo

And my point is that there's literally nothing special about her. She's a kid, she has opinions some people here agree with. Big deal.

She has nothing new or of value to add. She's basically a freak show because she's a kid.

The obsession with her is morbid.

I'd call it "political fetishization"

Some of her opinions aren't even that great. A lot of the things she says are pure spite.

But she has "the correct opinions" so people follow her regardless of how much stupid shit she says.

Plus the freak show factor

Tbh I think using her as a thought leader is going to backfire real hard, and we better realize that sooner than later.

She disables comments on many of her videos. Clearly she herself is aware that she attracts fucking weirdos. These screenshots I just found in under one minute from her latest video.

Soph is clearly being used as a thought leader, and we all know what kind of people she speaks to. There's no way this will end well. She should quit doing Youtube until she's old enough to be of a respectable age talking about these things to millions of people.

She's not your "I don't like the direction things are going" political Youtuber critical of the establishment, she's straight up blackpilled.

It's not too late, she can quit right now and come back when she's of an appropriate age.

Not on Youtube he wasn't

Then that's equally wrong

I don't get it, have we lost our collective minds over the political divide?

When will common sense and decency return? Ever?

Children should speak about politics, yes that's a good thing. But not like this.

A 60 y/o conservative man tells Soph she speaks for him

I'm sure that's gonna do wonders for her mentality

And it's such a wonderful thing when adults worship a girl for her political views

Now I understand why people are saying NPCs also exist on the right

AOC proves that democracy by itself without being properly refined is completely worthless. It just shows that there is no good form of government, there are only less terrible ones.

@Wizard_of_The_West And European countries don't? 😄

Last time I checked people believe miracles haben, ghosts are real, a magic man hears their prayers, and 99.99999999% pure water can heal them, among many other things

Ok ya that might be true

Just gotta import them all, according to the progressives that will make them come to the light

Cause the evil west is a great place for immigrants

Oh, wait...

stop

writing

like

this

I think we don't need a new word at all, we need to stop inventing new words

AntiFa are authoritarian, they're collectivist, they're thugs, they're terrorists, simple enough

Just use all the (correct) words in the book to describe them

Maybe

I always try to think of possible ways things can backfire

Not just in the short run

Historians seem to be very bad at politics, economics etc.
