Comment by Silviecat44@vlemmy.net on We can all agree on that, right?

Is there a communism society that has succeeded? Lol

That would be a decent question if we had examples of socialist experiments that were actually left alone to develop and not invaded 2 sevonds after america heard about them

Most socialist states are better after their revolutions as opposed to before. The USSR went from a borderline feudal society to putting people in orbit in 50 years. Additionaly, socialist states outperform capitalist ones in similar wealth categories.

The USSR collapsed and it was later discovered that it had major internal issues

Did they get to the moon? /s

Anyway they aren’t around today without capitalism (modern russia) so your point is kind of useless

who says the only alternative to a shafting capitalism like you have in the states is pure communism?

Can you name a pure capitalist state that’s succeeded without socialist elements keeping it afloat?

Follow-up: Why hand money to the leeches that do nothing but own shit rather than the workers that fuel the economy?

Maybe solution is somewhere in the middle, not one of extremes?

We’ve already tried the middle

Well I’m not starving and I can choose how to live my life.

I’m not currently dying, so that’s about as much as I can ask for.

You do see how cucked you are, right?

You didnt answer my comment.

If you can’t point to an actual capitalist society that’s succeeded, why would there be any meaning in pointing out a communist one that has?

Who paid for the roads, fire department, police, Military, postal service, bridges, dams… Shall I go on?

You think taxing people and using that money to fund public infrastructure and services is pure capitalism that’s operating without socialist principles?
