They call that socialism :^)

"If we separate all the murder into a separate stage it doesn't count"

2018-08-22 15:30:18 UTC  

Commies are that guy who rejoins the server to fix his k/d

2018-08-22 15:33:28 UTC  

true

2018-08-22 15:33:32 UTC  

doesn't work cuz after a while its bad anyway

2018-08-22 15:35:57 UTC  

Communism would need two things to work: total conformity in the rejection of private property , or a very advanced state of post-scarcity

2018-08-22 15:36:17 UTC  

The former is simply impossible because of free will, greed and egos of the humans

2018-08-22 15:37:19 UTC  

The latter may never happen because of exclusive items always existing and being in demand

2018-08-22 15:38:03 UTC  

Should we ever try? Can't we just settle down with something that already works? No?

2018-08-22 15:39:06 UTC  

Even then, social loafing undermines the overall system

2018-08-22 15:39:06 UTC  

And a centralized economy cannot be counted on for efficiency

2018-08-22 15:42:15 UTC  

controversial opinion: communism BAD

2018-08-22 15:45:02 UTC  

"So did the left want President Pence or did they just not think ahead?"

from experience and observation, they do not think ahead.

2018-08-22 15:46:26 UTC  

even post scarcity won't work, communism needs everyone to never try and gain authority

2018-08-22 15:46:37 UTC  

and its human nature to just want a little bit more

2018-08-22 15:47:05 UTC  

Communism could work in small scale. Small enough so that those who do not conform or no longer want to conform can leave the group without significant upset. But we are talking like town sized communities.

2018-08-22 15:47:15 UTC  

basically tribes or family units

2018-08-22 15:47:25 UTC  

well in real communism theres no heirarchy,

Sharing stuff works in small communities but theres still leaders

2018-08-22 15:48:12 UTC  

i imagine everyone deferring to someones judgement would not be considered a "heirarchy" to a communist.

2018-08-22 15:48:15 UTC  

... people wanna get rid of Drumpf but don’t understand they are bringing in Mike “Zap the Gay Away” Pence smh

2018-08-22 15:48:30 UTC  

as they did not take that power nor use force to keep it

2018-08-22 15:48:44 UTC  

so its basically a group decision to follow the advice of someone.

2018-08-22 15:48:55 UTC  

Actual communism is stateless

2018-08-22 15:49:01 UTC  

making them a leader without being given the official position as leader.

2018-08-22 15:49:10 UTC  

what is a state?

2018-08-22 15:49:20 UTC  

Socialism is the strongman leader stage that never leads to it

2018-08-22 15:49:43 UTC  

A hierarchical structure that effectively manages an area

2018-08-22 15:49:46 UTC  

@Beemann the left wants President Hillary Clinton and will settle for nothing less, constitution be damned.

2018-08-22 15:49:54 UTC  

Right but that can't happen

2018-08-22 15:50:02 UTC  

so a family unit is a state?

2018-08-22 15:50:03 UTC  

So they're fighting for Pence lol

2018-08-22 15:50:17 UTC  

No, a family unit takes care of itself

2018-08-22 15:50:27 UTC  

so does a state

2018-08-22 15:50:33 UTC  

It doesn't manage land or roads or taxes, a state does

2018-08-22 15:50:46 UTC  

a state is just a central authority of a community

2018-08-22 15:50:48 UTC  

so a family unit that has a home

2018-08-22 15:50:54 UTC  

At best a family unit in a modern context rents land from a state

2018-08-22 15:51:21 UTC  

remove what you think of as the state currently

2018-08-22 15:52:28 UTC  

a family is just a small scale state

2018-08-22 15:52:38 UTC  

you have a family unit, who has an area of land they have fenced in. they have pathways they maintain for moving about, plants to tend to, maintenance on the home, etc. There is also, usually, a hierarchy.
