This belongs over in Shit reactionaries say.

“We are playing Chess.”

Now that he’s realized that you can have more than 100% tariffs he’s gonna just add 20% every day for a few weeks.

Enclosure. British capitalists literally committed genocide against the peasants with the full support of parliament in the 18th and 19th centuries.

hahaha. and I wasted a good amount of time on that too. :P

Communism is the dream of a classless society where everyone is equal and receives an equal share of their fruits of their labor. Socialism is the process of moving towards Communism.

Real wages when compared to rising costs of living in norway have been stagnant for over a decade. Home ownership rates are still rather high but they have been decreasing steadily since their peak in 2007. How is that the state keeping capitalism in check? Sounds like it is just losing ground slower than other countries.

How have things been going for the Sami in norway? Are the high-ish living standards in Norway being maintained in part by continue exploitation of the indigenous peoples? How is that keeping capitalism in check?

Social democracy is capitalism with a facelift. Stalin once said. “social democracy is the moderate wing of fascism.”

The fact is that under social democrats or liberal democrats the rights of the rich to maintain and expand their wealth are always prioritised over the rights of workers to get a fair share of the wealth they produce. This is because the rich are able to pay to have their voices heard while the workers have little to no excess wealth.

As for "how society would operate and function under socialism " It would be much the same as it is now only the government would work for the betterment of the masses instead of the betterment of the few. Look at how things are in China and that is how society is under socialism. The government has raised living standards and life expectancy at an insane rate, businesses are taxed significantly and the government has a say on their operations. Most importantly when a rich person or company breaks the law they are held to account, they don’t get a slap on the wrist or a “cost of doing business” fine.

Socialism is a process and each situation requires different steps at different times and a different system to get it there but the idea of democratic centralism is really important as it cuts down on the capitalists playing 2 sides off each other.

The claim that the CIA funded castro was only ever made by one guy who wrote for the ny times. None of his assertions have ever been backed up by declassified documents from the CIA some of which would have surely mentioned it if it were true.

From everything I have read about the subject nobody seems to know for sure if Fidel was really communist during the revolution. The version of history I believe is that Castro wasn’t a communists when he overthrew batista but Che just kept propagandizing while the americans proved that liberalism is just a mask worn by fascists.

It gives me hope to think that the fascists’ fear of communism will push liberals into our arms.

I did but I didn’t want to put that idea into peoples heads because its kinda gross. Not when I do it but thinking about other people doing it is disgusting.

This wasn’t a problem for me back when I had long hair but recently I was growing a wicked long mustache that was half way down my chin. The peanut butter getting all up in it every morning after my toast was getting annoying so I chopped it off.

Make them all just citizens with equal voting rights. yes. but not all “israeli citizens.” The name of the state needs to be Palestine because even after the genocide there are still more Palestinians than there are israelis. The existing government system needs to be dismantled because it is clearly broken if a genocidal maniac can rule for decades even while under corruption charges. The IDF need to be disbanded and many of them charged with war crimes. After the majority of the wealthiest israelis leave because they are too racist to live under equal democratic rule, nothing will be left of israel.

Palestinians don’t need israelis to “take care of them” They can take care of themselves. If they can manage the most densely populated city in the world while under a blockade that enforces a near starvation diet with regular raids that arbitrarily kill and imprison the adult male population which the zionists call “mowing the lawn” they can build a functioning state. They need the blockade to be lifted. They need to be allowed to return to the homes their parents and grand parents were forced out of. They can do the rest.

israelis in the other hand have never been able to run a state. the zionist entity has always relied on billions of dollars of aid from the western world. Its entire economy is a gift from the west of highly profitable processing and manufacture jobs that could be done anywhere.
