so Mexico has to pay more tariffs on trade

Because communism only works in two places, heaven where its not needed and hell where they already have it

@ibm30rpg I'm pretty sure tarrifs would reflect on the prices of consumer goods

for them

not us

@TheBestGangster there has been no communist state in existence, there have only been socialist states

I'll try my damndest to make you long dead before we have socialism.

yeah, because communism is only good on paper

for now Ill have my dank capitalism, thank you very much

I do not give a fuck about communism, I want to hear why you think socialism is only good on paper and cannot be practiced

Socialism can be abused

hey i said communism, I never said socialism is only good on paper

Like North Korea

unless ur trying to say they are the same thing

And communism is just communism

Socialism requires force.

I'm not a communist so I don't really care about that

and North Korea isn't ML, their freaking Juche and have no correspondence to Marxist ideas

A socialist country can easily become corrupt because of what the government

Wants

This is just me, but I don't think socialism works because people like feeling better off than other people.

Why have socialism when you got capitalism

It's human nature.

Isn't socialism about equal distribution of wealth?

I'm not for that.

you would get paid more under socialism lol, there's a clear difference between human nature and human behaviour, the human nature argument has been abused

Something shitty like that yeah lol\

it isn't

that's egalitarianism

socialism isn't egalitarian

Socialism requires armed force.

no it isn't, socialism can still be established democratically by the will of the people, you cant have socialism without the people wanting it

Okay, you would get paid more (depending on your current job) but you would also get taxed more no?

you wools get taxed slightly, but you would still earn more under socialism

would*

hmm 🤔

because under capitalism profit comes from extracting surplus value from workers, under socialism there's no such thing

so you would get paid more

Socialism requires armed force to collect the high tax fees required.

there is no high tax fees, and nor does it require armed forces, you can only establish socialism if the people want it.

you would get taxed yes, but lesser.
