I talk with them all the time

2018-05-07 06:05:12 UTC  

ive only seen sargons vid about him, not this response to it

2018-05-07 06:05:36 UTC  

then you dont need something very quick. be thorough

2018-05-07 06:06:07 UTC  

if youre in the middle of an argument, say you have work tomorrow and buy some time to organize your points

2018-05-07 06:06:47 UTC  

or you can be honest and say youre pretty sure theyre wrong but you need to factcheck some things first

2018-05-07 06:08:48 UTC  

i doubt that his argument has a very solid foundation because he is a cuck

2018-05-07 06:10:14 UTC  

I want to debunk badmouse once & for all

2018-05-07 06:10:39 UTC  

And the whole shifting of blame

How is it private sector when this state controls the ' commanding heights of the economy'?

2018-05-07 06:12:07 UTC  

well when he says "the overwhelming majority" is priv sec, what's in the minority?

2018-05-07 06:12:19 UTC  

look for where he skip over details

2018-05-07 06:12:47 UTC  

They use price controls like on toilet paper, now they have a shortage of it

2018-05-07 06:13:16 UTC  

he gives you everything you need to debunk his argument right here, as long as he is wrong

Thanks

2018-05-07 07:01:31 UTC  

This guy is asking me what makes Venezuela socialist lol

2018-05-07 07:02:00 UTC  

we go from 0⃣ to 💯 *real* quick

2018-05-07 07:10:51 UTC  

Guys we can't allow them to get away with this historical revisionist propaganda like they always do.

2018-05-07 07:12:21 UTC  

This is a rare moment where we can see communist socialism failing right before our eyes and the socialist apologists are trying to paint a different picture.

2018-05-07 07:12:44 UTC  

So infuriating

2018-05-07 07:13:59 UTC  

Another 'thats not real socialism' line of crap

2018-05-07 07:14:35 UTC  

If it fails, it's not the communist utopia.

2018-05-07 07:15:33 UTC  

"not real socialism"

"that's *state capitalism*"

and on it on it goes

2018-05-07 07:15:43 UTC  

The "intellectuals" didn't accept it when the Soviet Union failed, they won't accept it now.

2018-05-07 07:17:27 UTC  

As Sargon pointed out, Karl Marx said it would only work if the entire world turned communist. So, if a commie state fails, it can always be blamed on capitalism undermining it, by working better than communism.

2018-05-07 07:18:27 UTC  

what do you call that sort of logic? its not exactly circular, yes?

2018-05-07 07:18:41 UTC  

perhaps closer to infalsifiable

2018-05-07 07:18:45 UTC  

ty

2018-05-07 07:18:51 UTC  

That's the best thing *about* socialism/communism

Because it's so fantastical, any time an attempt to implement it fails, you can dismiss it as 'not being the real thing'

2018-05-07 07:18:55 UTC  

i need like a flashcard for my logical fallacies

2018-05-07 07:18:57 UTC  

It's not even wrong.

2018-05-07 07:20:31 UTC  

I think the overwhelming majority of people look at capitalism and can recognise that it is not a utopian system - they can spot the rusted pipes and leaky faucets

Communism (or the attempts to implement by way of socialism) is responding to these problems by removing the roof from the house and flooding the basement
