how could you be against socialism/communism as a black person

[ignorethis]

Because socialism and communism are just pipedreams in a world where income is racially stratified.

We watch the socialist European countries act as vampires in the developing world, yet you aspire to be like them.

If Western leftist were serious about politics they would move to something more radical and successful like syndicalism, but we know western leftists just cosplay revolutionaries.

It’s not, I’m talking about unions as high level primary political structures, not people trying to get a 10 percent raise.

Only if you're a complete retard. And that applies to anyone with less than a billion dollars regardless of race.

There’s a reason why history doesn’t teach us WEB Dubois, Angela Davis, Fred Hampton, MLK etc were socialists and communists. These individuals recognized the inherent contradictions and how capitalism is a tool of white supremacy and vice versa to stratify society as they see fit.

Malcolm X was by no means a socialist but still recognized the contradictions. “Show me a capitalist and I’ll show you a bloodsucker”!

Let’s learn our history y’all

That’s…socialism. The workers taking control of the means of production.

 

[Wiseborn]

Read history and completely misunderstand it brehs

A lot of y’all failed the fukk outta reading comprehension in school. Imagine reading up on our ills in society and blaming fukking communism and socialism. Talk about being brainwashed

So what went wrong in every state that tried communism?

 

[GPBear]

Because we don’t want to be slaves to the state?


Don’t read history brehs

the whole point of socialism/communism is a withering away of the state.

[Insensitive]

So what went wrong in every state that tried communism?

The US royally fukking them over.

[Ozymandeas]

I’m okay with paying a little extra to give extra services to everyone else but FOH with that communist shyt Be completely dependent on a racist white government brehs

 

[GPBear]

It's always funny when capitalist claim communism doesn't work because people are greedy. Maybe just maybe capitalism is driving the greed and the greedy are the ones pushing for capitalism. Whole civilisations existed before capitalism that were based on sharing things equally amongst the group and all doing their part for the greater good.

or they act like capitalism is a success, as if it isn't based on blood and results in exploitation of the majority of the world

so under communism the state "withers away". Yet the General Secretary or Primer remains.

No, it’s literally a classless society. There is no state and the government becomes obsolete.

If you want the technical specifics, in the classical interpretation, a communist society does away with coercion, so the governments function has less to do with managing people and more to managing technological resources which supply such an abundance of materials that nobody has to go without.

So you really think that society can exist without leaders and more importantly criminals?

The history of black socialists always result in white allies coming up short, so you might as well advocate for a strong social welfare state and the ability to STACK CHEESE
