Communism allows everyone to pretend to have free stuff by declaring those that actually make it less than human

I know you’ve been banned (not unreasonably so) and can’t respond, but if you truly believe what you wrote above, you owe it to yourself to find out how you’ve been lied to. Communism at its most fundamental core is about alleviating the exploitation done to “those that actually make it” (workers). Communism elevates everyone to personhood, as opposed to capitalism that only does so for the ownership class.

Communism allows everyone to pretend to have free stuff by declaring those that actually make it less than human, and thus less than citizens.

Your crops are picked by exploited immigrants, the coltan in your electronics mined by African child slaves, and the electronics themselves assembled on 14-hour shifts by sweatshop workers under capitalism. And you still have to pay for them.

I love when people describe a system better than capitalism when trying to make communism look bad.

All the “isms” and the “ocracys” are fine except for one small point… none of them work.

You have a cabal of elites who say they are improving the lives of the working class while executing any workers who disagree with them

This is me and my dad so much.

Last year he was complaining about how the owner of the company he works for is retiring and giving the company to his son who doesn’t know anything about the business.

We talked about how the workers could all own a portion of the company and run it themselves.

He agreed that’s how it should work.

But socialism is bad… 🤦‍♂️

Lol I have so many conversations like this. Someone was saying a bunch of people got laid off at their job during covid and they almost lost their house. I said something like “it’s a shame that they didn’t just temporarily decrease everyone’s hours so you all still had work. I mean, the work was going to come back eventually”.

And they of course agreed
