No one had to, that's literally what it was used for in the only places it existed for the most part
To wipe out ethnic minorities and politically dissenting communities
who taught you that
you had to hear that from somewhere
It's a conclusion I reached by reading about communist regimes
who wrote the books you were reading?
trace it back
have sex and this not a place to debate incels

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
But all I got was some elementary school tier pamphlet full of platitudes
yeah, you gotta start low
you ever pick up Das Kapital, the full model of economics using ricardo-style models?
Rofl
I read the first volume, it's like five hundred odd pages
Ricardian economics in 2019
first bit is solely defining everything for later
the model has its uses
alfred marshall might have described it as a departure from reality but it has its uses
“Yo, this archaic model has its uses when it helps my point”
Get real
you ever read Wealth of Nations?
you want solid real-world economics, Wealth of Nations
I think it still holds solid points, like when Smith discussed capitalist behavior
I don't remember the full quote but he described them as "an order whose sole motivation is to deceive those around them"
something to that effect, at least
Stop reading 200 year old books
Ricardian models are barely of any use
#SorryNotSorry
read at your own peril
