now I am a jew who starves people

2019-10-26 01:51:02 UTC  

last week I went down to a mcdonald's and told some dude "hey don't eat that" and the absolute madman actually died on the spot of starvation

2019-10-26 01:51:17 UTC  

them's the victims of communism

2019-10-26 01:52:03 UTC  

Yeah literally nobody died under the USSR

2019-10-26 01:52:28 UTC  

why do you think lenin looks so peaceful in his glass box

2019-10-26 01:52:38 UTC  

he ain't dead, just waiting for the right time to wake up

2019-10-26 01:52:40 UTC  

Imagine actually advocating communism like dude where do you think we are? The 1930s?

2019-10-26 01:52:59 UTC  

I mean the economy's not much better

2019-10-26 01:54:02 UTC  

people still fail to learn that the rich do not have everyone's best interests in mind

2019-10-26 01:55:20 UTC  

I mean honestly

2019-10-26 01:55:32 UTC  

you explain the ideas of communism to people and they nod and say "yeah yeah that makes sense"

2019-10-26 01:55:38 UTC  

and then you tell them "that's communism" and they recoil

2019-10-26 01:55:41 UTC  

like

2019-10-26 01:55:55 UTC  

what did you think communism was

2019-10-26 01:56:11 UTC  

don't tell me you're so economically illiterate that you've never looked into these things

2019-10-26 01:57:13 UTC  

Nobody is recoiling at communism, you're not edgy, you're a weirdo who's preoccupied with a historical economic system that was literally created to kill people as efficiently as possible lol

2019-10-26 01:57:55 UTC  

and my point is made

2019-10-26 01:58:04 UTC  

What's that?

2019-10-26 01:58:16 UTC  

who taught you that communism was designed to kill people

2019-10-26 01:58:37 UTC  

No one had to, that's literally what it was used for in the only places it existed for the most part

2019-10-26 01:58:49 UTC  

To wipe out ethnic minorities and politically dissenting communities

2019-10-26 01:58:54 UTC  

who taught you that

2019-10-26 01:59:02 UTC  

you had to hear that from somewhere

2019-10-26 01:59:12 UTC  

It's a conclusion I reached by reading about communist regimes

2019-10-26 01:59:32 UTC  

who wrote the books you were reading?

2019-10-26 01:59:37 UTC  

trace it back

Honestly Marx's little pamphlet wasn't that impressive either, I was expecting an epic dissertation on the faults of capitalism and a systematic detail of the hypothetical policies of a communist state

2019-10-26 02:00:42 UTC  

But all I got was some elementary school tier pamphlet full of platitudes

2019-10-26 02:00:49 UTC  

yeah, you gotta start low

2019-10-26 02:01:09 UTC  

you ever pick up Das Kapital, the full model of economics using ricardo-style models?

2019-10-26 02:01:33 UTC  

Rofl

2019-10-26 02:01:41 UTC  

I read the first volume, it's like five hundred odd pages

2019-10-26 02:01:48 UTC  

Ricardian economics in 2019

2019-10-26 02:01:50 UTC  

first bit is solely defining everything for later

2019-10-26 02:01:58 UTC  

the model has its uses

2019-10-26 02:02:19 UTC  

alfred marshall might have described it as a departure from reality but it has its uses

2019-10-26 02:02:46 UTC  

every model has its limits

2019-10-26 02:02:51 UTC  

“Yo, this archaic model has its uses when it helps my point”
