I wouldn't want to live in the communist utopia even if it could be achieved, a world where all of our needs are met by some outside force, all the struggle of life is stripped away, and in turn our humanity, and what makes us unique as individuals? No thanks. I've made a lot of mistakes and there's a lot of things I could have done differently that would have made my life a lot easier today than it is. And if I had a time machine, sure maybe I would change some things. But maybe I wouldn't, or shouldn't. All of those things shaped who I am, and I still struggle, but I like my life. I think this is the real reason communists are so angry and unhappy, they think they want stuff, and to not struggle, but what they really want is a purpose, and something to struggle for. They'll never have that as long as they buy into communism. It's a never ending cycle of depression and anger. No amount of stuff would ever be enough for them.

@randomdude2832 that's just what words mean, little fella. There's no promises of getting something for nothing, if you want something, you work for it. Or and you can not work and be destitute. Choice is all yours. And these principles are true, whether you believe in communism or capitalism. Makes no difference. The only difference is capitalism allows for people to keep what they earn, communism attempts to "right the wrongs" of the universe by artificially balancing imaginary scales that can already be balanced by giving people the freedom of trade that they would have in a capitalist system.

@randomdude2832 because capitalism doesn't make any claims about a utopia, it's just a system where there's a free market for you to buy or sell as you wish, and make whatever you want of your economic status.

@randomdude2832 I'm not the one crying about how it's someone else's fault my life sucks, my life is good. I'm content with what I have.

And neither do commies🤣

Exactly what I've been saying, it would be like playing a video game where you start having already beaten all the levels and gotten all the stuff. There's nothing left to do. It's pointless.

@lynxis communism only sounds preferable in theory to people who don't want to do anything but still want to have all the stuff.

@PrivateSi "crony capitalism" isn't capitalism though, it's not capitalism when the government is selectively enforcing tax laws and regulations, essentially putting their thumb on the scale and picking winners and losers.

@PrivateSi no, it's just what words mean. Government interference in the market is the literal opposite of capitalism.

@PrivateSi everyone is a capitalist with their own money. You're just saying a bunch of nonsense that means absolutely nothing. Your opinion has nothing to do with what words mean.

@PrivateSi or you could actually be accurate, and honest, and represent words in the way that they're actually defined. The US is a mixed economy, like every other economy in the world. There is no pure capitalist society, and there is no pure socialist society, but when you blame capitalism for government corruption in the market, you're being blatantly dishonest, because ANY government interference in the market, by definition, is not capitalism.

@PrivateSi I'm sounding like someone who knows what words mean. If that sounds strange to you, it's because you're in a cult.

@PrivateSi and communists can't be libertarian. That's not a thing. It's like being a camel and an airplane at the same time. It's not possible.

@PrivateSi and you haven't addressed your dishonesty.

I love to ask communists what happens when some smartass decides he doesn't want to work, because he doesn't have to, and he's just gonna sit on his ass and get the free gibs, because they have to give it to him, because they're communists. They never have a straight answer. Because we all know the real answer(s) to that question.

@umiluv the left is evil. This is not a misconception. At the absolute most generous, a leftist is a selfish and entitled adult sized child. And there are very few of those. Most of them are evil people that will steal everything from you the moment you look away and they think they can get away with it.

@randomdude2832 stop crying and get a job.

@randomdude2832 would be doing better if I didn't have to pay so much damn taxes so worthless losers like you can have more free stuff. But all in all, life's not so bad.

@randomdude2832 "capitalism is when money" -some idiot that's so stupid he thinks communism is a good idea.

And what do you think those socialists were trying for?

@PrivateSi no you're just plain wrong. Simple as. Capitalism is very well defined, it just means a free market where you can buy and sell freely, according to market value. That's all. It's not as complicated as you're trying to make it. It's not someone else's fault you're too stupid to know what words mean, and too lazy to make something of your life. That's your fault.
1
@PrivateSi nope, you're still wrong. Capitalism just means a free market. Your communist propaganda has turned your already undersized brain into a rotten potato.
1
@PrivateSi getting off topic here bud, I don't give a shit about your opinion about your little half baked utopia, the point of all this is you're ascribing government corruption to capitalism, which is just plain dishonest, and you know you're being dishonest. You were just hoping I wouldn't know any better.
