hey i just look at the statistics, my friend
it starves its people and you cant deny this
i can get some statistics if you want me to
Yeah no reason to even look into why that is
Don't even consider any conditions or problems
It's obviously the planning
i can see how you think that
I'm not going to talk with you if you're so uneducated about everything
You will literally gain no knowledge from this if you don't even understand communism
but you have it all wrong here see
all types of government intervention is detrimental
government cant control everything and the things it does control are better off in the peoples' hands
this so-called "free society" promised under communism is itself an oxymoron
you look at venezuela for example as i said before with its regulations on businesses for the "common good"
Regulations aren't socialism holy shit
leading to food shortages and shorter life spans
regulations are government
socialism is government
communism is government
its all the same effects
>shorter life spans
Do you want to tell me why Cuba has a larger life expectancy than the US
Please educate yourself
You have no idea what you're talking about
the life exp. of cuba is less than 1 year above the US
and their population is much less
That's still more
also demographically they are less diverse
What does diversity have to do with this
that is a demographics issue and it's not even very noticeable
if this is one of your main points it isnt a very good one
do you agree that government regulations and socialism/communism both involve government intervention?
even though they're different
Socialism: social ownership and democratic control of the means of production
Socialism (in Marxism): a mode of production which has superseded capitalism and production is solely for use, the law of value is no longer present, production is coordinated through economic planning, and economic output is distributed based upon contribution
Communism: a state of society where all means of production are commonly owned and economic output is freely distributed, emerging from advancements in the productive forces which means there is material abundance
Marxism: economic/political theory of capitalism and class conflict
Also technically a philosophy
ok well the government has to be involved in order to keep this kind of society from collapsing on itself
do you agree that government involvement is necessary for this
