  2. As if the people know how to run a country.

  3. This is socialism. A lot of its practitioners made a fortune off of kickbacks, exploiting the very same workers they so claimed to have solidarity with, using the treasury and resources as their personal piggy-bank, etc.

  4.  @resdyne9590  Workers as in ordinary folks or government bureaucrats as often practiced in every other socialist regime? And all that will cost is your freedom and self-determination lending itself to government tyranny.

  5.  @resdyne9590  But the USSR was an imperialist power despite being restricted to land invasions. <Every so called "socialist" regime was a failed attempt of socialism for varying reasons and were merely state capitalist and authoritarian in order to defend themselves against other imperialist powers.> Like Eastern Europe against the USSR? Mongolia against the USSR and China? Cambodia against fellow socialist Vietnam?

  6. The sanctions are of little consequence as Venezuela seized and ran the economy into the ground.

  7. OH YES IT IS! Prosperity for the government and the well-connected. Poverty for everyone else. The 1% vs. 99% in practice.

  8.  @PainandMotivation  Same difference as evidenced by Zimbabwe and Venezuela.

  16.  @ngcobonothando83  But it's the poorest, because of the general lack of human capital.

  17. Be it bleeding hearts or SJW's.

  18. And even if it didn't, those with the most valuables will always have power.

  19. Because capitalism has done more to improve the lives of the poor than anything else for all of its flaws delivering on plenty of what socialism promises.

  20. Take it up with the former Soviet governments that ran the Ukraine.

  21.  @iceadonis6340  No. Communism will always be worse, because communism doesn't generate wealth on its own. It just lives off of whatever capitalism generates with nearly all of it going to the government and the workers getting little more than the bare minimum.

  22.  @iceadonis6340  No surprise you probably either live in your mother's basement or a relative of some high-ranking communist government official.

  23. And communism doesn't have any social mobility for regular people either. Only the well-connected and relatives of party henchmen can survive in a communist society.

  24. Pretty much.

  25. When they all but completely collapsed.

  26.  @easilyconfuseddinosaur901  And their failed invasion of Afghanistan to spread revolution didn't help matters.

  27.  yagbos  Exactly. Marx was born wealthy and lived most of his adult life like a welfare bum. Both foreign and especially domestic.

  28.  @em4703  They never reach the people, because the transaction has to be verified and approved by the government via the banks ensuring that the government gets the money first.

  29. But communists are hypocrites. Capitalist decadence is only bad for ordinary citizens, yet perfectly fine for themselves.

  30. Human rights don't exist in China.

  31. Most of China's "private" companies are state-owned.

  33. Brazil is run by Europeans.

  34. But Burkina Faso is has been ran by socialists for most of its post-independence history.

  35. That's because you're a PSUV lackey.

  36. Al Jazeera is government-funded media.

  37. You forgot Haiti's invasion of the Dominican Republic as part of its debt-repayment plan to France and the Dominican Republic's subsequent independence in 1844.

  38. It does. It's just that they're usually banished to the countryside or some detention center.

  39. And connections.

  40. Isn't this something you need to take up with the city mayors as they're responsible for the zoning laws that prevent new houses from being built?
    1
  41. Nah. Thanks to Deng Xiaoping and Bill Clinton.

  42. The socialist system have always been everyone shares in the poverty and misery while the rulers and the well-connected get the wealth. What you're seeing with China is standard socialist fare.

  43. The state controls most of the economy. The only rich people are government elites and affiliates who own nearly all of the major businesses.

  44. Don't be naive. The exploitation will continue with the locals.

  45.  @cottonball5499  Property is not a right.
    1
  46.  @MsMesem  Due to her government making affordable homes too costly to build and own.
    1
  47.  @Zarasha1  How? She's right. Poverty is not a valid excuse for doing something immoral/unlawful/illegal. And the billions upon billions of people in poverty who didn't resort to it is living proof.

  48. Where have you been for the last 3000 years?

  49. If anything, this is an indictment against Black men as they failed to build and produce much for themselves and their own people. Greed, selfishness, laziness, etc. did them in.

  50. Well, they have to eat and have a family to raise.
