  2.  @Riyoshi000  LOL. Poor people don't pay the kind of taxes that sustains cities. Rich and middle class people do.

  3.  @TohaBgood2  Housing and healthcare is a privilege. And the reason why even the left don't agree is because for such to be a right, it would mean someone is obligated or will be forced against his/her will to provide it and in turn violating his/her human rights which begs the question: WHO'S GOING TO PAY FOR IT?

  4.  @nathanjames7030  <Those who can't care for themselves should be cared for by individuals who love them personally, individually. Institutions can't do that.> The institution effectively disenfranchised and destroyed the family who could have helped those who can't support themselves.

  5. India was once socialist and still is a lot more than you think despite how that held it back for most of its post-independence history.
    3
  6.  @CripplingDuality  <Others just come from South Korean tabloids. IE, they don't hold water for anyone with a modicum of critical thinking.> Critical thinking as in what? Regurgitating communist taking points?

  7. Neither was Dr. Dre. Only Eazy E and MC Ren were from the streets.

    2

  10. Like in Cuba and Venezuela?

  11.  @andrewyoung9751  Nah. I'd say Calgary is a poor man's Dallas.
    2
  12. Which is why my brother had to move back to Montreal.
    2
  13.  @IkeOkerekeNews  Yeah! An unelected unaccountable totalitarian regime ruling the world.
    2
  14.  @IkeOkerekeNews  Yes.
    2
  15. Many US cities were built by racism.
    2
  16. Like old times with Stalin.
    1
  17. LMAO.
    1
  18. No it won't. And once upon a time, the world already had that.
    1
  19. No.
    1
  20. Quebec City is a provincial government town.
    1
  21.  @nicholasalexander4743  Corrupt World government.
    1
  22. That's if you don't mind being at the mercy of outsiders for food and military protection.
    1
  23.  @savvysearch  Proving the poster's point that LA has always been city only those with money could live in.
    1
  24. Better weather.
    1
  25. Inequality is natural.
    1
  26.  @nikolaiivanovich2094  Which is? Government-imposed poverty and repression for all?
    1
  27. Plus, New Orleans is below sea level.
    1
  28. How so?
    1
  29.  @fiverZ  Or allow foreign investors to buy property and in turn price out the locals. Here in Canada, that is the case.
    1
  30.  @Skyfoogle  Montreal can't expand, because it's literally on an island.
    1
  31.  @Skyfoogle  Namely the on-island suburbs that fought for demergers in 2004 with all but Montreal-Est being Anglo-majority.
    1
  32. The US Gov will stop on military when the rest of the world start paying and providing for its own protection.

    1
  36. The UK should have never given HK to China.
    1
  37. There are barely any.

    1
  39. Except the 2nd largest city in Russia.
    1
  40. Including New York?
    1
  41. Yet has been perennially run by socialists.
    1
  42.  @srs6461  Neither do you. And don't talk to me about workers owning the means of production. What you really want is government bureaucrats owning them "on behalf of the workers" as is often practiced in real-life.
    1
  43. And become one big USSR. No thanks!
    1
  44. LOL. You know that public transit is subject to higher gas tax and congestion fees too, right?
    1
  45. Europe is more homogeneous and barely has any minorities at all.
    1
  46. Or easier access to drugs.
    1
  47. You mean your salary.
    1
  48.  @enotsnavdier6867  Which is why they were resented by the native Malaysians. And Singapore, a Chinese-majority country in SE Asia, got independence against its will.
    1
  49. In Houston's case, floods and hurricanes.
    1
  50.  @AlCatSplat  Try not to sink in the Georgia Strait while you're at it.
    1
  51. "Equal" societies only work with homogeneous demographics. And America is anything but homogeneous.
    1
  52.  @FernandoMendoza-dw8nz  Not really. Communism wants to be the only state allowed to exist as so far practiced.
    1
  53. Well China exists and it has just slightly more people than India.
    1
  54.  @Skyfoogle  That's because there was no such thing as the suburbs.

    1
  56. Namely Malaysia.
    1
  57. Not even close.
    1
  58. <Currently, Hong Kong isn't doing so well.> Due to meddling from Beijing.

    1
  60. And good ol' fashioned racism.
    1
  61. Khmer Rouge-style?
    1
  62.  @steamtacular  Of course you wish. You're anti-humanity.

  63. <Men need to be more responsible for their children or get a vasectomy> So do women.
    1
  64. <full of greedy devious landlords> Enabled and supported by greedy and devious city government.
    1
  65. Actually, Ontario and Quebec dominates Canada's politics as they account for 56.8% of the total population. Of course Western Canada doesn't matter, because it doesn't have the population to compete with even Quebec let alone Ontario.
    1
  66. How so?
    1
  67. <Singapore has had very authoritarian rulers (caning children; fines for chewing gum!).> And drug-traffickers are executed.

    1
  70. And replace it with what Havana and Caracas have?
    1
  71.  @falsificationism  No. Decades of local mismanagement, corruption and socialism doing socialist things. The US was not responsible for Castro and Chavez killing off the private sector and local industry in favor of that one sellable commodity they have (Cuba: sugar. Venezuela: oil) rendering their respective locales unable to support themselves requiring outside aid and imports.
    1
  72. Because Montreal is densely populated, namely on-island with the vast majority of its Metro system within city limits.
    1
  73. LOL
    1
  74.  @danielkelly2210  Nowhere to be found, because most black neighborhoods are located in cities run by Democrats.

  76. But at the mercy of Beijing.
    1
  77. ROFL.
    1
  78. Especially outside the Northeast.
    1
  79. <Singapore still exists because the only enpire in its region (China) is new and has not yet set aim to Singapore> Before China, there was Japan.
    1
  80.  @harpoonmcfierce9697  <Not sure how Socialism dehumanizes when it put power and control into the hands of the working class.> No. Socialism puts power and control into the hands of the state. Socialism dehumanizes as it strips the individual of agency and autonomy reducing him/her to helplessness and effectively slavery who just exist to serve the state.
    1
  81. <Kinda like having schools be paid for by local taxes causes poor neighbourhood to be trapped in poverty.> How so?
    1
  82. Exactly.
    1
  83. Like Pol Pot-era Cambodia?
    1
  84. And government cut-backs in funding.
    1
  85. Namely rich Chinese investors.
    1
  86. <singapore because the rest of indonesia hated them and made them an island.> Actually it was because Malaysia kicked it out as it didn't want a Chinese-majority locale influencing national politics.
    1
  87. Also junkies and Asians.
    1
  88.  @jenshep1720  Actually India is the 2nd biggest country in the world. China is the 1st.
    1
  89. Also in America race and class often go hand in hand.
    1
  90. New Jersey is little more than a New York/Philadelphia suburb masquerading as a state.
    1
  91. But the wealthy get tax breaks, because they contribute a lion's share to the government treasury.
    1
  92. But language politics destroyed Montreal.
    1
  93. And taxes. And language.
    1
  94.  @markrichards6863  <Most people in Montreal are bilingual.> Not exactly. Montreal is 66% French and 16% English.
    1
  95. They don't want Black people having easy access to their neighborhoods.
    1
  96.  @Skyfoogle  LOL. Canada is not that much better. Abd Montreal's public transit is only good if you live within city limits.
    1
  97. Communism earned its bad reputation, though.
    1
  98. Or a drug-addict.
    1
  99. How are they brainwashed? A lot of them most likely live in a locale where public transit is just simply not a viable option.
    1
  100. You mean at most.
    1
  101. Vancouver is livable. It's just that the working class is not its target audience.
    1
  102. And don't have the farmland to feed themselves.
    1
  103. But commies don't ride the metro. That's for commoners.
    1
  104. And what are transit buses supposed to drive on if there are no roads?
    1
  105. We want nothing to do with the ROQ (Rest of Quebec). LOL
    1
  106.  @whwhwhhwhhhwhdldkjdsnsjsks6544  Namely places that are either homogeneous or have a centralized power structure.
    1
  107. True.
    1
  108. Yet nearly all of the car-centric cities in America are ran by libertards.
    1
  109. And racist NIMBY's.
    1
  110. Plus easer access to drugs.
    1
  111. Such as overcrowding, disease outbreaks, etc.
    1
  112. LOL. But it also allows "undesirables" easy access to the desirable neighborhoods which is what the NIMBY's don't want.
    1
  113.  @nataliekhanyola5669  Not all change is good.
    1
  114. After all, everything is bigger there. LOL
    1
  115. Only to Asians, junkies and those who never been anywhere east of the Rockies.
    1
  116. Exactly.
    1
  117. But centralization and authoritarianism are what communism/socialism operates on.
    1
  118. And a haven for out-of-province junkies.
    1
  119. What's wrong with Alberta?
    1
  120. As in forcibly migrate the homeless like North Korea and China?
    1
  121. But GDP per capita-wise, the US is far ahead of China and India combined.
    1
  122. <Being a City Beautiful only works when the Beautiful city works for everyone not just the 1%.> No such city ever existed. And the only city that works exclusively for the 1% is Pyongyang, North Korea.
    1
  123. LOL. The descendants of kulaks killed by Lenin with their private homes seized would like a word with you on that.
    1
  124. Not really. Rural areas are the worst.
    1
  125.  @bbolin5626  Sweden is a capitalist welfare state. Plus, it already did socialism only to abandon it after the economy went to crap.
    1
  126. Yet where I live, on Montreal Island, has more than a few strip malls to go around even within city limits.
    1
  127. 1 Child policy doesn't work. And China scrapped it 5 years ago.
    1
  128. And lose money in the process?
    1
  129.  @CounterRevolutionary  Despite having yet another black mayor.
    1
  130. No. That's Not Just Bikes and he's from the Greater Toronto Area.
    1
  131. Pretty much.
    1
  132. If you're a tech worker.
    1
  133. Nor does socialism as the government becomes the bourgeoisie.
    1
  134. And 80% of Vancouver's homeless are from out of province.
    1
  135.  @EnjoyFirefighting  Just like it's not freedom to depend on someone else for transportation.
