with today MSNBC saying she would like to see American Citizens drone bombed, I wonder sometimes, how far would they need to go to be considered call for violence....
They won't be brought to justice
😒
This makes me so mad that people actually believe this
well it's sorta true
I mean, communism would work in heaven because, y’know everyone is perfect and stuff.
according to the bible, jesus did attack the merchants operating in the temple(church) to do biz during times of worship
How though? He spoke against the rich stealing from the poor and not using that power to do good. Not by the government forcing it, but by the goodness of a mans heart to give his possessions generously
It’s the way it’s phrased that makes it pretty disrespectful.
It's kind of like when people say Robin hood was a socialist
he also was a teacher and shared what he knew to others to help them
He obviously wasn't (Robin Hood), he was against the government stealing from its citizens. Same with Jesus
> I mean, communism would work in heaven because, y’know everyone is perfect and stuff.
@JustJoshin would it really be communism though?
I mean God would be the "government"..... but eh
No it would be no one is poor because everyone shares what they have
Which is the core idea of communism right?
Well it wouldn't be the government forcing distribution of wealth..... so idk
well far as i can comprehend of true communism is that it's only operational in very small population numbers ..it's based upon commune political structure of equal sharing of work, labor and resources
it only works effectively provided everybody does exactly that, which they never do in any 'communist' system made since the invention of it
really the main problem with communism is the inability of one person (or a group of people) to adequately manage an entire economy
a la venezuela
the problem you mentioned is perhaps the reason why people turn to communism but it's nto quite the reason why it fails
basically a farming community is better fit to do a true commune system, than any major city nor any nation regardless of size
yes if you had a small commune you could probably get it to work
u try getting a lefty to work
i would rather try to teach an ant to speak english
i would probably have a greater chance of success too
Which is why right leaning people generally prefer capitalism. Personal accountability.
capitalism is more of an economic structure than a political system
yes but it's coupled with libertarianism / classical liberalism
Isn’t communism partly a political system and partly an economic structure?
it forces a universal item to be unit of currency between 2 or more incompatible goods traders
Theres also the push of the importance of personal property in the Bible that makes me even more tuned not to believe Jesus was a communist
He misses a ton of context
well the economic structure of communism only works effectively when everybody provides equal work in the fields that helps to grow the crops and equal work in the mines to get the ore to supply to the greater structure of the commune unity of construction society life and maintaining it
Yes. Socialism/communism, could work if we were all perfect and the government wasn't corrupt, but we're humans so yeah.
Hurray for humanity
the community needs food, everybody chips in to help get that food in form of labor and resources of the community(they tend to forget that part til they experience it)
well there is no gov to overwatch the community ...because the community is the overwatch of itself
