Do you realize how dumb you capitalist c00ns sound when you say shyt like this?
Not as dumb as you commies sound thinking you're going to get equality under a white liberal racist.

But if you're already white or a foreigner I guess you probably think it'll be all good

Social Democracy has shown to be the "best" system implemented so far, and the best compromise between Socialism and Capitalism. Regulated capitalism with an emphasis on social safety nets, and bias towards the working class, rather than the corporate elite. A system that benefits the 99% at the expense of the 1% makes more sense than a system that benefits the 1% at the expense of the 99%. Corporations are supposed to work for the Government than the Government work for corporations. Germany, United Kingdom, France, Netherlands, Sweden, Denmark, and Norway have implemented it pretty successfully so far, and their people are happier because of it.

There is a reason full blown Communism has not been implemented successfully just like there is a reason full blown free market ultra capitalism has not been replicated since probably slavery.

These are political theories, 100% capitalist state would ironically be anarchy, and “communist” governments will almost always lead to state capitalism
The #1 most touted response in these threads is always look at the track record of communist countries
As if McCarthyism didn’t happen
shyt is a very complex topic dont know why mfs on the Coli put forth an opinion when they clearly don’t know the history

This. Germany is one of the best examples. Capitalist but with a strong safety net.

It always works as intended as an economic system. :mjgrin:


Just because some people are poor doesn’t mean everyone will be.
:francis:
Most of the people are poor. Not some. Also things like US slavery was fueled by capitalism, and almost every war in recent history has to do with capitalist interests. You're for that right?

Communism failed everywhere. Human greed is a major motivator in life. We don't want to be even or equal we want equal opportunity to be better than others. Communism also should not be compared to socialism. Most communist countries quality of life tends to be poor compared to socialist places. Socialist national have heavy taxes too that means these nations need people working to keep the system functional. Also tends to work best in smaller nations without a lot of multiple cultures. Everyone has to be on the same page for peak socialism.

Because sadly (as seen in this thread) people associate any mention of "socialism" or "communism" with the totalitarian governments of the U.S.S.R. and the People's Republic of China.

People advocating for more "socialist" policy or "Democratic Socialism" are not advocating for a U.S.S.R. style of government.

In America we all have equal opportunity. Any kid that's gifted, regardless of their background, will be given a full ride scholarships to top tier schools.
There have been countless gifted people that have tolled their lives in cotton fields, factories or other fukked up situations because from birth they didn’t have equal resources.On the other side there have and are countless average people, who from birth have the best education and resources to become things like doctors, average intelligence folks with unlimited resources. Of course there are outliers and a rose can grow from concrete, but to deny this very real disparity that disproportionately effects blacks people is very suspect:mjpls:

We aren't talking about the 1800s though. We talking about now.

If you can't make it, just give up on life then. Why haven't you given up? What are doing instead of complaining?
