The TvTropes article for "translation with an agenda"

2018-04-22 14:12:34 UTC  

Tell me how you will deny that it was socialist.

2018-04-22 14:12:37 UTC  

the reason why you think that is because you are a moron

2018-04-22 14:12:44 UTC  

Howdy folks!

2018-04-22 14:13:56 UTC  

“you are a moron”. ARGUMENT 100 👌

2018-04-22 14:13:58 UTC  

Yeah, I'm the moron, yet you're the one redefining socialism so your delusional ideology can avoid the blame of the millions of death it has on its conscience. <:LUL:372856126007410689>

🍿

2018-04-22 14:14:11 UTC  

how am i redefining socialism

2018-04-22 14:14:19 UTC  

why are you pretending that is all i said meratrix

2018-04-22 14:14:33 UTC  

Are you denying it was caused by socialist collectivization?

2018-04-22 14:14:41 UTC  

^^

2018-04-22 14:14:41 UTC  

Because that seems to be what you're doing.

2018-04-22 14:14:51 UTC  

I havn't read any of it yet and I have no idea what they define by "socialist" but judging by this -

it's stupid because just pointing out a single example is not as useful of a metric as comparing aggregated data, furthermore i could do the same and point out specific famines that occured under capitalism

2018-04-22 14:14:54 UTC  

Deny it, please. I needed a laugh.

2018-04-22 14:15:04 UTC  

capitalism does seem better

2018-04-22 14:15:21 UTC  

High come countries are only capitalist

2018-04-22 14:15:41 UTC  

weird, almost like poor countries are more likely to become socialist or something 🤔

2018-04-22 14:16:08 UTC  

o, it’s actually because socialism makes countries poorer

2018-04-22 14:16:21 UTC  

no it doesn't

2018-04-22 14:16:25 UTC  

No, it's almost like socialist countries are more likely to become poor

2018-04-22 14:16:47 UTC  

why did eastern bloc countries grow faster than comparable capitalist countries

2018-04-22 14:16:59 UTC  

on average

2018-04-22 14:17:08 UTC  

How can you possibly look at this table and come to the conclusion that socialism is better?

2018-04-22 14:17:18 UTC  

I actually just popped in to ask a really dumb question, but yeah... socialism seems to never help the poor, the working poor or the working class.

2018-04-22 14:17:24 UTC  

it usually does

2018-04-22 14:17:34 UTC  

how so?

2018-04-22 14:17:34 UTC  

Russia asked the US to come over and analyze what went wrong with their economy after the USSR fell, and it was found that they were operating something like at half the economic strength.

2018-04-22 14:17:40 UTC  

Eastern block countries grow faster because they have more room to grow

2018-04-22 14:17:44 UTC  

source mera

2018-04-22 14:17:56 UTC  

And you can hardly consider them to be socialism anyway

2018-04-22 14:17:56 UTC  

i've heard sargon say that shit multiple times and he has never provided a source

2018-04-22 14:18:04 UTC  

baraban that makes no sense

2018-04-22 14:18:14 UTC  

That makes perfect sense

2018-04-22 14:18:17 UTC  

why would they have more room to grow compared to countries that had the same gdp per capita on average

2018-04-22 14:18:43 UTC  

History and countries are a pretty good source... go sell socialism to Venezauila.

2018-04-22 14:18:50 UTC  

venezuela isn't socialist

2018-04-22 14:19:03 UTC  

Because they aren't as advence, but they are catching up

2018-04-22 14:19:10 UTC  

what's your dumb question

2018-04-22 14:19:13 UTC  

how are they not as advanced baraban

2018-04-22 14:19:20 UTC
