The closest I've been to a communist is a fatass on my main discord,who denies facts, cosplays as homestuck characters, has numerous fetishs including a fart fetish, runs a fetish discord channel, and claims the USSR and other communist states were actually under state sponsored capitalism and chimps out when you speak of communism in an ill way.

Sad to think today's revolutions are not by big, prideful but misguided men but by ma children who are all fetishists.

Communism works fine when america doesn't fund contras and spend billions of dollars trying to sabotage it.

Here's a post my previous /r/latestagecapitalism thread that shows just how delusional these people can get:

"If anything, the Great Leap ended famine in China."

Lol no

Communism is probably the last thing that flusters my butt to any severe degree these days. It's staggering that it's considered a good thing by people who live in the first world. Even moreso that a good chunk of them are braindead college kids that didn't need to work a day in their life thanks to daddy's money.

They're also ADD as fudge, because they're the same people that want open borders to just let everyone in. Discounting terrorists with suppressed homosexuality, why do they think so many people want to go to America? Must be because Capitalism is super unfair and will stomp on anyone who tries to make a living, while they clearly just don't understand the glorious Communist regime. It's really rather disgusting.

Schools of Fish
-Anarchistic social structure
-Collective decision making
-Voluntarism
-Division of labor according to means
-Mutual Protection against threats
-Lysenkoistic sharing of resources in a cluster to benefit the whole

Marx's Communist Revolution has nothing on the proletarian Guppies.

All i know is, communism and capitalism by their very nature require diametrically opposed political philosophies and systems to be implemented.

Id say so far all political ideologies have failed. But that communism has the best chance of succeeding and not failing if finally done right. But capitalism can never succeed because inherent to capitalism is the class system of rich vs poor. Communism allows for that class system but also allows for elimination of it. Capitalism can never eliminate the poor class.

Under capitalism, if everyone has 1 million dollars, 1 million dollars becomes worthless. Thus in order for some people to successful others have to fail. In communism everyone can be successful if their leaders allow them the opportunities. Because 1 million for everyone under communism would maintain the true value of 1 million, as the prices would be fixed by the government.

If everyone is equal then there is no penalty for failure nor incentive to succeed. That is why communism just doesn't work. Humans are not ants or other insects. No one is successful under Communism because being successful is a threat to what communism expounds. Communism according to Marx was supposed to have revolutions take place in the industrialized nations which would then revert to an agrarian society. Communism is anti-progress by its very nature.

Am I in a community watch thread or did I somehow end up in a honeypot?

also, secret protocol of Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact don't real

No, it is real. Except all european coutries had such things:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four-Power_Pact
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German–Polish_Non-Aggression_Pact
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Munich_Agreement
But it is Stalin who was Hitler's ally of course.

Chemberlen tries to break Hitler's arm.

Communism isnt inherently equal for everyone involved. It just means community ownership. I believe in a system of communism which incorporates some principles that you would associate with capitalism. Basically there is compensation, but its highly controlled and fixed.

We're nazis now, guys.

Let's play a game, it's called "Find the capital of the former soviet bloc nation".

Spoiler

Seriously though, by what metric are you measuring the highly scientific term of "flourish" in?

By the metric of rate of crime, rate of poverty, rate of illness. Things like that. Communism done right far exceed the performance in those areas than capitalism does. Capitalism encourages individuals and crime is all about individualism. Communism encourages communal thinking, making it more difficult to commit individualistic crimes and giving less incentive to commit crimes.

For example, if all your money is regulated by government, then if you try to steal money from someone else, you wont be able to use the money because you got it from unknown origins and communism done right does not accept money from unknown origins. Thus stealings maain motivation sis eliminated
