Why aren't you communist?

Communism is the big bad that both sides seem to agree to be terrible, always, without fail. Why?

When the average person(NPC) is pressed on what sucks about communism, they'll evoke images of Soviet Russia. Famine, iron curtain, oppression, oligarchy. But how do these things even correlate to communism in the first place? If you have a dictator, or a single party, or you're starving people, you sure fucking aren't the voice of the working class which was supposed to be the whole point of communism.

The reality is there's a collective, ultimate brainwashing to make people think that an economic system built by the little guy, for the little guy is a bad thing. Because communism only has examples of it being done poorly or in bad faith, that means that we're simply incapable of improving past capitalism in the first place, ignoring that capitalism is causing the very same issues in countries around the world.

I'm not making any claims on what brand of communism/socialism works, because the entire field is under-researched. The very label of communism is poison. Doesn't that scream manipulation to you guys? You scream how the holocaust is fake because you're banned from talking about it, but communism has a social stigma in every country in the world somehow even though the overwhelming majority have no firsthand experience with any version at all. It's insane.

Keep licking those boots, comrade

But I am

while the picture is intriguing the wall of text is bullshit
provide a tldr or ill delete it on the spot

listening amerimutts talking about communism is like listening niggers talking about Caravaggio

This economy based on greed sucks.

I got an idea: let's build an economy based on jealousy instead.

Great idea.

tldr

I am a Communist

If you actually read what I said, you'd see:

I am not promoting any system

I am rejecting dictatorships as representative of communism's potential

It's literally the opposite of bootlicking. The boot licking is coming from you, you're sucking the dick of rich capitalists who are absolutely terrified of you getting a clue.

Resumão:
"It was not real communism" meme

That's not real capitalism

...Those are really just the same thing. And idk why you value the rich dragon hoarding wealth over the peasants wanting a cut too.

If communism's so bad, why can't anyone bring up a valid point instead of parroting fallacies like "All communism leads to violent dictatorships"

Instead of laughing at it, tell me why it's wrong. How was it real communism if it was never a government by the worker for the worker? That's absolutely a requirement for real communism, it's why the likes of marx became so famous.

Have you really never heard of a leader lying? You know how many of those communist countries also had the balls to call themselves republics while holding no elections? I reject that they were ever communist, not really.

And idk why you value the rich dragon hoarding wealth over the peasants wanting a cut too.

Because it always ends with the peasants betraying their neighbors out of spite and jealousy.
How it started:

Let's overthrow the CEOs and split a billion dollars between us!

How its going:

Hello police? My neighbor has 3 milk cows and i only have 2. I feel oppressed. Come take him to the gulag please.

Jealousy is a subset of greed. What you meant is wrath

Because both my parents are White, so I have a high IQ and therefore I'm not at risk of believing in semitic slop.

envy and avarice are not the same thing.

Because communism only has examples of it being done poorly or in bad faith, that means that we're simply incapable of improving past capitalism in the first place, ignoring that capitalism is causing the very same issues in countries around the world.

only the most delusional white US university students equate capitalism impact with communist genocides and famines
in the other thread I had a guy tell me that "russia didn't harm siberian native population while US wiped out the continent"
the answer to commietards is so clear literally the beatles wrote the most popular song 60 years ago about it, but they pretend not to hear it youtube.com/watch?v=BGLGzRXY5Bw

I thought you guys thought the elite were all jews.

How in the fuck is the idea of getting rid of all rich people in line with what jews want?

Still believing in communism in the year of our Lord 2025

midwits really never learn

Kek

And only the most dipshit NPC can miss the forest for the trees like you are. How does communism lead to genocide and famine? I can surely tell you how a violent revolution can lead to that, but not communism. Communism just tells you how to run a business, not who to kill.

I used to be a nationalist and darwinist all my life, but now that I’m over 40, feminism and DEI made me realize communism is better.

I should have whatever everyone else has. A house, a nice job I like, a big fat paycheck, lots of fresh young fertile pussy to breed. The only important thing is that everything is equal and fair for me, and that I have whatever anyone else has. Also everyone who opposes this plight of the proletarian shall and will be killed by the state (and/or by me).

I love communism.

Why aren't you communist?

Because I believe in God.

(((communism)))

Somehow you're even dumber than Hasan.
Communism leads to famine because it promotes artificial scarcity of goods in order to maintain a consistent demand for labor.

How does communism lead to genocide and famine?

are you retarded? ussr collapsed due to planned economy failures. China today built empty houses for 1.5 billion people because without freedom of speech and market forces there's nothing to autocorrect the machine
any person that's not a gay communist throws the entire marx economic fanfiction theory out of the window and the only commie way to deal with that is to kill them

the entire field is under-researched

It’s been tried and failed 25 times by 25 different nations.
You can’t point to a single time it’s been effective.

I am rejecting dictatorships as representative of communism's potential

Dictatorship is part of the theory. None of the attempts got past it.
Communism can't work because it is materialistic and atheistic

The average person evokes images of Soviet Russia etc. because the average person isn't an economist who can point out the many obvious failings of communism as a system of production and (re)distribution. It's a lot easier to point at the gulags than to dismantle the labour theory of value. For that, there are many qualified and intelligent people who have thoroughly thrashed communist economic theory. It's well tread territory and not under-researched at all.

What would you call a system that's communist, but also doesn't do that?

Such a thing is possible, would it still be called communism or something else? And if you can't conceptualize that, then you're a lost cause. You're defining communism by things it never was. Communism doesn't demand people must work. Communist countries have done this yes, but communism is flexible and we can find something that works that hasn't been tried before. Again, my entire point everyone ignores is that we haven't looked into this remotely enough.

Life is materialistic and atheistic, this doesn't mean anything

If people really thought god was real they wouldn't be so scared of dying

Soviet Union had second biggest industrial output, energy production, and agricultural output. There were no famines since 1950s in fact they ended famines that were happening for over 1000 years in Russia and Ukraine.

what if we have a planned economy.....but get this guys.... a plan that WORKS.

yes the world has just been waiting around for a mega genius like you to finally design a working planned economy. congratulations.

Communism is a theory that doesnt map with human reality. People are hierarchical animals and spiritual beings and it says they arent either. Trying to get people to fit the theory leads to gulags.

People in touch with Christ don't fear death. Look at the martyrs.

Because everything develops organically.
Communism tries to kill it, but it's not possible.

I’ll bite, assuming you’re arguing in good faith.

The main problem with original marxism/leninism/bolschevism is that it‘s first principles and assumptions about human nature and reality are simply incompatible with natural law. It’s not a viable way to organize society politically or economically. It is however very viable as a power seizure tool for an elite fringe group, via mobilization of the working population.

Meanwhile soviet communism/stalinism was actually quite viable and effective in certain areas, mainly because they dropped most of the retarded ideological marxist/egalitarian baggage (they kept a little for show) and basically just reorganized into a centralized military hierarchy. So in a certain sense, modern commiefags are right that it wasn‘t „real“ communism. Because real communism basically collapsed immediately after it got into power and its remaining fanatics purged by military dictatorship.

If you want to talk advantages of centralization over federal/liberal market systems, that‘s discussion worth having.
The tldr being

federalization/free market economy is better during times of plenty and getting ahead/producing innovation

centralization is better during times of crisis, or when your civilisation needs to catch up to a competitor

gulags are bad now all of a sudden?

what a shitty fucking post, communism didn't fail in the Soviet Union, it turned a literal feudal state into a superpower in 30 years and that's after 3 devastating wars within their territories, if Russia had submitted to the western world order they'd be some shitty backwater shithole like Latin America

Why?

My shithole was the worst after Haití untill Pinochet removed communism, then for a few years we had better crime statistics than Usa and a great economy for poor people (compared with the hood) untill U.S. aids pushed it again, now venecos are stealing everything and sending it to Venezuela and Cuba. Communism is just a scam, a cheap psyop to steal things from other countries, this continent would be a better place the day Usa is nuked and every veneco and cuban dies, including their offspring.

People want everything communism offers, but will have a kneejerk reaction that rejects it the moment you mention its name.

The mind control is insane, they've been programmed really well by the elites.

Communism killed the most Nazis in the past.

You are the idiot in the well in your meme.

Usa was openly supported by Usa and half of that miracle came from nazi tech, the other half was nazi slaves, once it stopped both Russia and east Germany turned into shitholes.

The average person if pressed can't articulate that water is wet.

The reason communism sucked is that it is terrible at the valuation and allocation of resources. People did make things, things that were made did not get distributed. A market is a much more efficient tool for this and it creates a feedback loop that builds upon itself. This problem plagued every attempt to implement it. All arguments of fairness or human nature aside this is why centralized command economies did not work.

But that was then. Now we have computers and data science. While I wouldn't want to live under it I'd be happy to watch a nation give it a try. When you think about budget or simply moving resources walmart or amazon are far larger economies than the ussr ever was. Orders of magnitude larger. Internally they are centralized planned economies. They react faster than consumers in predicting demand in order to produce, stock, and deliver goods. To wait for consumer feedback would be too slow to respond, and create grave and wasteful missteps. Sometimes they even drive the demand themselves. All with unprecedentedly low amounts of waste. Compared to any system in the history of humanity. Maybe it could be scaled up and meet human needs better than a free market.

Every time communism is tried, imperialism tries to kill it.

If communism is so inferior, why does the USA have to intervene every time?

There is no free market in capitalism, it's all controlled by the elites and big corporations.

because i live in a capitalistic country.
If I was born in communistic country, I would've been a communist.

What would you call a system that's communist, but also doesn't do that?

Such a thing is possible, would it still be called communism or something else? And if you can't conceptualize that, then you're a lost cause.

hilarious

if I squint and strain my mind very hard I can conjure into existence a communist theory that works in real life

go ahead girl
for some reason all actual economists and people with three digit IQ prefer to improve existing one though, I wonder why

People don't want everything communism offers.
They want everything that communists say communism offers.
Big difference.

communism created by the Jews
nazis against communism fight Russia
but communism policy of Russia

Why aren't you communist?

loser ideology by losers that dont understand anything about anything. I concede that Russia was in a tight spot just like China and needed to industrialize against other powers. But besides the quick build up - all other aspects of this ideology failed in the long run.

If you cant see that after all this time - you are truly a fucking total loser. There isnt a single area of this ideology that was spared from stupidity. Freedom of expression = banned. Freedom to buy and sell whatever you please = banned. Freedom to invest = banned. Freedom to travel within the USSR ? You needed a passport to leave your district. Innovation ? stifled massively to the point where Soviet cars had carburetors in the 90s and dogshit computers / electronics.

Every aspect of this failed society just proves that it was a retarded hunk of garbage that should have been decomissioned after the first 30 years. But instead you losers persist , year after yer "Muhhh gommunism and free gibs".

YOU. ARE. A. FUCKING. LOSER. YOU LOST. :) Get it?

It is NEVER coming back in the sense that you mean. All that you will get is that you are playing into bankers hands, and you'll build an even more elite-class of hyper wealthy that will take your useful idiot mindset and use you and the rest of you losers to build a more anti-human, a more godless, trashy existence where people have to resort to eating synthetic meat due to "climate change" meanwhile they drink champagne and eat fine cuts on their private jets.

Just blow your brains out. Also slavoj zhizhek or whatever this spastic faggot is called sucks. You're terminally gay, listening to a lisping alcoholic faggot.

You mean to say there is no capitalism.

retarded opinion, the entire West antagonized the Soviets during all of their existence other than for a brief 4 years during Hitler's idiotic invasion, which is why the Soviets were unironically willing to ally with Germany and even asked to join the Axis, if Hitler wasn't a schizo we could've had a NatSoc-Soviet-Japanese utopia

Kinda funny, Usa used U.S.aids to stop freemarket and push communism, fun fact, i am living it right now. The system is irrelevant, they care about control and them always being better than us.

I hate communism because it destroyed America
There are literally no private sector jobs in Santa Clara

You live in Brazil

There is a great secret the people pushing communism in the West desperately try to hide.
Namely what a labor bureaucracy and labor aristocracy is.
People calling themselves Marxists and communists the world over,
have been running the labor movements on behalf of capitalists,
for over a century now.
This was first theoretically understood and articulated by an "American" socialist named Daniel DeLeon,
and the Germans and Russians had to figure out what was wrong with their labor movements,
by reading him.
See his excellent work "Two Pages From Roman History."
The capitalists had already discovered how to control the labor movements,
decades before any of the socialists of Europe could figure out what was happening to them.
They simply buy off the labor leaders.
99% of communist/socialist/Marxist organizations,
are simply trying to fight for those labor bureaucracy jobs.
Which literally pay hundreds of thousands of dollars a year,
to act as the political police of the capitalists inside the trade unions.
White workers actually understand this better than Leftoids do,
which is why the white working class wants nothing to do with the unions, Marxists and communists.
The Great Replacement idea is 'Marxism' for the white working class.
Even Marx and Engels agreed,
see picrel.

Like a cheating whore telling her hubby that she doesnt like her lover, right now both Usa and Russia are destroying Europe together, nobody gave a fuck about systems.

Kill yourself you fucking parasite.

It's bewildering.

Communism is the big bad that both sides seem to agree to be terrible, always, without fail. Why?

Because it doesn't fucking work and has failed every time its been tried over the past 110 years.

Marx would tell you that the dialectic has rendered it a failure and its time for a new synthesis. Holding on to a failed philosophy is just pathetic.

It's anti-human and jewish. But I repeat myself.

A comprimised union is better than no representation at all. The neolibs killed the unions in the 80s and wages have decreased since despite productivity increasing.

Because every communist I've ever met was a degenerate, and every degenerate I've ever met was a communist.

The Great Replacement idea is 'Marxism' for the white working class

Yes both are retarded

notice in Arabia they do bazaar it is open store
but US we close the store to a building

The times when communism led to famine were due to retarded decisions from central planners who didn't understand the things they were administrating. That's what happened with the Soviets and the Chicoms. Low quality people, low quality outcomes.

How does communism lead to genocide and famine

literally by pretending imaginary social constructs are objective reality

but nothing is real everything is subjective

that's how commies keep finding out starvation is extremely real and will kill you quite dead no matter how important or irreplaceable you think you are

due to retarded decisions from central planners who didn't understand the things they were administrating

yeah as soon as we'll develop superhumans that can understand the entire economy, then we can actually have communism implemented properly

you don't have the psychic and/or precognitive superpowers needed to be a high quality person, and nobody else does either

Communism is the big bad that both sides seem to agree to be terrible, always, without fail. Why?

It isn't. You can openly declare yourself to be a communist in almost any school or workplace without any fear of being expelled or fired. There are almost no social consequences for self-identifying as a communist or for being branded as a communist by others. It's not an establishment position, but it's not a taboo boogeyman position either.

If you have a dictator, or a single party, or you're starving people, you sure fucking aren't the voice of the working class which was supposed to be the whole point of communism.

The point of all political movements is to gain power. Communism is not meant to help the working class, it's a kind of political marketing that self-serving political factions use to get the working class to support them.

Businesses exist to make money.
Political factions exist to gain power.
Businesses invest in marketing to get you to give them money.
Political factions invest in isms to get you to give them power.

I find it strange how so many people understand that businesses don't care about you and tell you what you want to hear in order to get your money, but then act surprised when political factions behave the same way, just with power filling in for money. A political faction promising communism to the working classes is like a business telling you how everything they do is for the customer.

because communism is jewish; therefore it it talmudic; therefore it is satanic

communism works, for the people at the top. until it doesn't.
You can't overcome human nature. People won't suffer for the benefit of others for very long.

communism.png - 635x824, 1.01M

Because I don't have the mental age of a 12 year old.

Because communism only has examples of it being done poorly or in bad faith,

Really? You just attempted the ultra-hackneyed "that wasn't real communism" as an actual argument?

What do you think is going to happen when society is managed from the top down by a small cabal who have absolute power? You either know nothing about human nature, are literally 12, or you have brain damage or something.

Picrel: On the left, the estate Communist party members lived in (Spaso house). On the right, the housing the workers lived in. Communism is when thieves get into power and decide they're just going to take shit while gaslighting everyone about "workers won." The only proper place for them is a mass grave.

I support communism for land, capitalism for everything else. Basically, land should be equally and fairly shared. But you should be able to do whatever you want with your share of land including building a privately owned factory.

Sure, I'll be communist.

land should be equally and fairly shared

Population goes up

Size of every individual share goes down

Part of your factory is sitting on somebody else's share now.

That doesn't sound like a big problem to me.

There's more to it than this though. Mutation and natural selection always exists, even in planned societies, and will always lead to self-serving structures emerging and proliferating. The planner can never eliminate these forces because they are part of the intrinsic nature of self-propagating systems, and every individual/society/government/ideology/etc is a self-propagating system.

Kaczynski wrote at length about these effects, and I strongly recommend reading his work. The first couple of chapters of "The Anti-Tech Revolution" give a great introduction to self-propagating systems.

self-prop.png - 396x591, 53.21K

Obviously in practice its not going to be a primitive equal division of the land. More complex systems will be in place. Land value tax and land dividend will be part of it.

Population goes up

Lol, if he achieves that he deserves a nobel prize regardless of anything else

It's actually older than industrialism. It's just farming. Grain storage. Debt. That's the flowchart for political power. Cain. The original and still true mark of the beast.

Why didn't workers in the 1800s just build their own steam engine and carding machine and spinning frame and power loom and sewing machine?

Communism is a Jewish psyop to control the masses.

The governments of the Nations forming the Universal Republic will all pass effortlessly into Israelite hands, thanks to the victory of the proletariat. Individual property can then be abolished by the rulers of the Judaic race who will administer the public fortune everywhere. In this way the promise of the Talmud will be fulfilled, that when the Times of the Messiah have come, the Jews will hold under their keys the property of all the peoples of the world.

Baruch Lévy, in a letter to Karl Marx.

craighutchinson.substack.com/p/the-secret-origins-of-bolshevism

Russia is currently an oligarchy, run by a small elite class. But when it was ‘communism’ it was still run by a small group of elites (oligarchy). Before that it was a monarchy run by a small group of elites. Communism and Socialism is just oligarchy rebranded as equality.

Your arguments are merely academic and semantic. Socialism, communism, and fascism are all authoritarian regimes run by a small groups of Elites (oligarchs). They just have different branding for the masses. It’s just aristocracy repackaged.

The different ideologies are just different flavors of totalitarianism. The ideology is just academic. To the Elites at the top, and the common man with a boot on his neck, they all work the same.

Of course. Why would it be any other way?

This is basically me. It doesn't come from an ideological position, just simple observation. Everything is abundant in capitalist countries except housing. Capitalist countries exist in a perpetual housing crisis, but everything else is fine. In contrast everything is scarce in communist countries except housing. Communist countries exist in a perpetual almost-everything crisis, but housing is the one thing that never seems to be an issue. I simply combine these two observations.

Of course I like to theorize why this might be the case, but the theorizing comes after the fact. My opinions are motivated entirely by observing the two systems in practice, not by theory. I like to think of goods as being fixed supply or variable supply, and as being necessary or luxury. This gives us four categories. Capitalism seems to work well for all categories except fixed supply necessities. I suspect this is because the interests of investors and consumers do not align when supply is fixed.

When supply can vary then investment leads to more efficient production, which leads to higher supply, which leads to lower prices, which benefits the consumer.
When supply is fixed then investment leads to accumulation of the fixed supply, which leads to lower supply, which leads higher prices, which harms the consumer.

The average person instinctively gets this. It's why the word "investment" usually has positive connotations. For example "investment in education", "investment in infrastructure" etc. The only place where "investment" has a negative connotation is with housing, where it's basically just a codeword for hoarding.

>The governments of the Nations forming the Universal Republic will all pass effortlessly into Israelite hands, thanks to the victory of the proletariat.

Hurr durr the proletariat is dumb and will easily fall for jewish tricks
Obviously written by some self important porkie falseflagger. No normal person thinks this, in fact it is the opposite

I should add that I use the terms "communism" and "capitalism" begrudgingly because that's how people today seem to speak. When I say "communism" I just mean government planning, not literal equality. When I say "capitalism" I just mean market liberalism, not any arbitrary system where inequality exists and tends to compound.

A similar mechanism to what you described is relevant to mass migration. Mass migration reduces existing citizens' share of the vote, and this allows the government to break free from citizen control. Governments don't want to be slaves to the people, they want the people to be slaves to them. Every democratic government is thus "trying" to become a dictatorship. It's like the ring trying to get back to sauron. If a population of 1m gets 1m immigrants then suddenly the original people's control over their government has just dropped by half. Since the government controls which immigrants get in, they can always choose immigrants with a political culture that aligns with their own agenda, so they don't need to worry about being "controlled" by the new arrivals. Through this method any democratic government can become unaccountable to its original citizens.

Why?

Because it doesn't work and empirically causes human suffering.
Why do you lick boots?

you're sucking the dick of rich capitalists who are absolutely terrified of you getting a clue.

Capitalists benefit me through their existence though.
