after the ussr fell the capitalist class bought up everything at garage sale prices

mass privatization destroyed them

There is limited riches and countries fight over who has more of it

The ussr fell? Gee why did that happen? <:comfort:592107824826417204>

@RAM II nah that's called a zero sum game

@Xenon the natural state of things

Grass grows, birds fly , communism fails

Capitalism needs imperialism to survive

not really

lol no it doesn't

@Machinimal how else do you expand?

nigeria has never practiced imperialism

why would you need to expand

you ever heard of international trade?

you just

sell product

Then what’s the thing that came before mercantilism

produce product

Communism would work if there were unlimited resources and robots to perform all of the manual labor

right

@Machinimal capitalisms main function is to penetrate and accumulate

a post-scarcity society

Stop, don't bring up basic economics

He is a commie

you need ever expanding markets

no you don't

therefore you must go abroad

Wrong

you just need to keep selling

new people are born

new consumers

if energy and wealth were unlimited and we could literally fabricate anything we want, then we wouldn't even need capitalism anymore

older people die

you price things based on how much people will buy

In fact the states was doing better when it didn’t involve it’s self anywhere

food is cheap

furniture expensive

@Machinimal what kind of lala land are u in? youre saying like the people who run the world just stayed in there own backyards

how did imperialism end up working for the British Empire?

@excursion12 (redha, richtginger) it made people massively rich
