In the truly utopian state of Communism, there is no such thing.

He was the first neckbeard Atheist who thought he knew everything.

No, he really wasn't. He was just the first to publish his livejournal

The entirety of Marx's influence has been through the capital sale of his works

Let that sink in

Basically, yeah.

Communism wouldn't exist without Capitalism.

Actual communist states don't proliferate Marxist thought, because it would reveal their failures in attaining the Marxist ideal

That's because Communism doesn't actually work.

Hence the amount of information control and revisionism common in those nations

@Little Boots yup

Within the eyes of an economist, Communism's fundamental flaw is the requirement for both the supply of all labor and resources to be infinitely abundant. Scarcity will never be eliminated, and even if we do eliminate scarcity within labor and resources, you still have scarcity of time.

More than that, labor theory of value is just a race to the bottom

Thus, Communism as a natural progression will never be.

Scarcity is impossible to get rid of.

All that happens is it shifts from one resource to another.

My biggest issue with communism is the fact I’m a nationalist

Back two hundred years ago, bread was a desired commodity.

Now, the scarce resource is the materials that go into making computers.

Rare earth elements or REE

Wait

I fucked that up

Rare earth minerals

REM

No

Wtf was it

"but boots 4 gorillion people starve of every year because of capitalism"

In the near future our resource conflicts will be over alkaline battery components

@ubermensch 4 billion people starve in spite of capitalism

I know wtf I’m talking about just not the acronym used for it

Basically just metals used in electronics

Bread continues to remain scarce, as are the capital and intermediary goods requisite, as well labor, to the production, @Little Boots.

And batteries

This will always remain to be the case.

@Snake alkalines and Rare Earth Metals

Yeah that’s right

@Jeremy that is true. It's just so common in most western countries that there's little issue getting it.

It is REM
