Hey, does anyone remember that time a crazy homeless man wrote some crazy hobo gibberish about a utopian society and a bunch of people took it way too seriously?

Oh wait. We're still fucking doing that.

Why didn't we make ideologies out of other crazy hobo insanity? Where's Emperor Norton's manifesto?
 
One day it will be!

We don't still have enough techonology for this, but one day, it will be feasible, a social democracy based on equality, individual liberties and social wellfare.

I hope I live to see this this day, yes, I believe in a better future for all of us and for the future of our planet.
Pardon me, but this will never happen because math is racist now.
 
I hate to mar such a beautiful thread with serious discussion but I can see that you need help and I can't ignore that.

First off, the so called "Nordic Model" or Social Democracy has no connection with communism. It's not merely some less extreme position on the same spectrum. Anymore than a dog is a less extreme version of a cat. Completely different evolutionary branch. Communism means state ownership of industry. The Scandinavian countries don't have that except in some mild non-relevant forms like Norwegian government having some stake in their national oil company. Sweden used to be socialist back in the 70s and their economy was dreadful and people rose up and cut back the government's role in industry massively. What Social Democracies like Sweden et al. are, are capitalist systems with high taxes to fund social programs. And you can make supportable arguments for that. I may or may not agree with it but you can make supportable arguments. It is not nor is related to communism which is the state owns industry.

Communism is mob rule with clothes on.

Sorry - gommunism.



We already produce enough food to feed everyone, we already have enough land for everyone to live on. If your position is that communism can't work because we just haven't reached the level of technology to make it viable then why isn't that true for every other system? And more to the point, which would you rather pursue? An economic and political model that works in difficult situations or a model that works only in an environment of such plenty that no economic or political model is needed?

If this post is a little tetchy, have the self-awareness to realise that you're basically accusing people who don't agree with communism (with plenty of historical evidence for their position) of not actually caring.

Personal anecdote: When I was younger I was aware that a lot of people became more right wing and more "selfish" as they got older. I committed to myself that I would not let my own morals waste away with age and that I would continue to push for my values and a better world. What caught me off-guard was not that my values changed, but that what I thought actually worked changed. My political and economic views have not moved rightwards because I have become less moral (I hope), but because I now see this as a more effective way to help people. That's what a lot of people on the Left and Communist supporters miss - they think someone is Rightwing because they don't care. It escapes them that the person might simply have a different view on how to achieve things.

Your mistaking Social Democracies as some kind of lesser version of Communism when they're qualitatively different, is evidence that you don't understand what communism actually is.
I believe communism only works in very small groups and can be funded by robbing capitlists.

Think office space except never getting caught.
 
I'm not a communist, but I sympathize with some key elements of communism, I believe that the best political-economical stance would be for Social Liberalism -> Nordic Model.

Equality, individual freedoms and a regulated market economy. A win/win situation for everyone.

I would go full communism, but the truth is, I'm a bit vain when it comes to buying, spending and I honest couldn't live without a lot of the luxury of capitalism, but why not go for Social Liberalism, it's a middle of the ground option and it seens to be super healthy in Finland, Denmark etc.

You guys are just too deep into the American Capitalism, wild capitalism and probably many of you are bourgeoise sons of business owners or even wealth families.

It's easy to defend and love capitalism when you don't check your white privelegé or your wealth, it's not EASY for normal people, worker's families or even people who are strucutually affect by the system.

There is a better option than American Capitalism, if you don't see that, you are supporting the system that opress us all and gives birth to inequality, poverty, mental ilness and social destruction.

Capitalism is all bad? No, but it can be WAY WAY improved.

Check your feelings, check you facts and you will know what I write is true.

Pokemon is all about nature, helping each other and eco-friendly politics, economics and world.

Sorry to break the bubble for you.
Pokemon is a lazy franchise made by a garbage company that prays of children that don't know any better braindead consoomers such as yourself. Gamefreak could put the pokemon logo on a half-eaten apple and you'd probably buy it.
 

Fusing Capitalist Economics with Communist Politics: China and Vietnam​

It kind of blows my mind what a success this fusion was. I don't think Marx could have seen this coming
 
Yeah no one could predict a government with a strong single executive running a hierarchy of middle managers would be effective.
Althought Xi the Pooh might throw this in the trash can with the way he lead China.

Slightly off-topic, one Space Force Officer was fired for saying marxism is taking US militairy and his book hits #1 on Amazon.com.

The fact that the military & CIA are running "woke" recruitments ads is some pretty good evidence that they are of the cult.
