Communism is too totalitarian,

Socialism though, I fw the ideas of safety nets and basic necessities like water, public works and healthcare being taken care of by the government

If foreign jews can benefit from our tax dollars, so can we


Totalitarianism is what we need,the only issue with that is the leadership. But totalitarinism isnt inherently evil,and neither is socialism. Capitalism on the other hand is. With capitalism ,its obvious how the story will end regardless of leadership due to too many variables. If we only had one righteous king in charge of everything,this country COULD be a utopia. People just like to ASSUME the leader would become corrupt:respect:

Go to Russia then and tell me good things are :heh:
russia was a managerial bureaucracy, in much the same way the us has been since both the bretton woods and marshall plans shaped the world economic order. the only difference is the soviet union operated outside the post ww2 paradigm the us and her allies created.

a better example would be cuba. it certainly isn’t without its issues, subjected to economic sanctions and terroristic violence from the us since batista was deposed by castro, but you can’t deny it hasn’t been a successful example of communism at work.

Socialism provides a standard of living and capitalism provides a drive for innovation and economic growth.

We need both

comments like this aren’t that far removed from what cacs say about the black community and its seeming failure to escape widespread poverty. when you’re surrounded by enemies and subject to a constant assault on your means to survive, which is what sanctions and an embargo amount to, there will be difficulty rising to the standards set by the ones oppressing you.

Hence they got rid of all the programs designed to allow impoverished Americans equity to get back up on their feet. Safety nets = moochers
Universal basic income = lazy

There are generations of poor white trash who own nothing but a blow up mattress who will still vote against this stuff because the politicians who are against it let them know it would help minorities too.

Would you rather live in Cuba, or in Haiti? How about the Dominican Republic?

I'm not a fan of communism or of any state authoritarian government. But in terms of health, education, life spans, poverty, etc., Cuba is doing WAY better than the other major nations around it and that's despite facing massive sanctions and sabotage from the USA and its allies for its entire existence.

The claim that capitalism drives innovation is capitalist propaganda. The vast majority of major scientific and technological innovations are made by people who get meagre profits if any from their work. Corporations are too focused on year-to-year profit margins to spend much money on R&D. Government-funded research and academic institutions have been responsible for far more major breakthroughs than for-profit companies ever have been.

Just look at any list of Nobel Prize winners, and tell me how many of them were working for universities or doing government-funded research as opposed to how many were on a corporation's payroll. There is the occasional private employee involved, but the # on the other side is FAR greater.



I agree that capitalism is what drives economic growth, but economic growth is literally destroying the world. Economic growth is a major factor behind environmental destruction, resource depletion, climate change, the corruption of government, and wars of aggression.
