There's a reason why the reactionary element of the "Do for Self"-ers tend to use Chinatown as an example
Yet anybody who's grounded knows that's not wassup.

Such childish logic, but that's to be expected from you.
So you are a communist in practice ?

9 million people die from starvation each year...
3 million people die from curable diseases each year
3 million people become homeless each year in the USA
While income inequality is highest it's been since the middle ages...
62 people own as much wealth as the bottom half of humanity...
You are living in a world where your life is literally worthless...and people die by the millions every year over shyt that could be solved if a few people weren't literal demigods among us.
Capitalisms death toll outweights Communism by billions....lets not go there...capitalism been around since 1700s...
How many people died in factories, mines, wars, invasions, on the seas, on plantations?
And the Industrial Revolution aka the birth of capitalism created the TransAtlantic Slave trade and colonialism and imperialism and racism...but okay...
Argue for something that enslaved your ancestors and created a global caste system that put us at the bottom and it think it's gonna get you out...
Caping for capitalism is truly moronic. All these wannabe "entrepreneur" cats coming up short trying to win in a game that is designed for them to lose.
Capitalism is profitable and gives freedom.
Coming up short when compared to billionaires ? Sure
Nobody cares how the game was "designed" ... Do it anyway

....And now I would like to take this opportunity and further desecrate today’s hip hop scene by highlighting the difference in topics and substance between 90s hh and today’s hh; as we see here with DP’s reference to kids in the hood reading Marx.
Nobody from today’s era would have such a line in one of their songs.
Thanks to them I have Marx pdfs in the tuck and a physical book.

Somalia already tried "scientific socialism" and look where we're at

I'm pretty sure his ideas did not lead to the deaths of hundreds of millions of people.
The Soviet Union used brutal repression, ethnic cleansing, and failed collectivist policies that were sloppy, bureaucratic, didn't even follow the basic "instructions" (if you could call them that) of the change from a capitalist to a socialist to a communistic society, and were 100% the fault of the leaders who implemented them.
The same is true of China, his agrarian revolution into the Great Leap Forward, just like the stupidity of the Stalin regime that led to Holodomor, was tied heavily to natural conditions, hence the famine that caused massive casualties.
Marx =/= the Soviet Union or Communist China in the same way Adam Smith =/= Colonial America or the Belgian Congo
You're referring to Siad Barre's regime, which was Islamic Socialism at its core but essentially became a capitalist dictatorship when he cut ties with the Soviet Union and desperately tried to hold on to power. The Somali Civil War, desertification, implementing "structural adjustment" after the failure to diversify the economy and the Ogaden War draining national coffers, and factional states within Somalia, are what led to the current conditions in Somalia.
