  1. It's easier to cut off a tall man's legs than to make a short man taller.

  2. If you've broken up and gotten back together with the same horrible ex a dozen times, and they do the same horrible stuff every time, at a certain point you have to realize that's the "real" version of them.

  3. It worked out exactly as planned for the tyrants, just not so much for everyone else. Almost like that's exactly what it was always intended to do....

  4. Here's the major problem with the "that wasn't real communism" cope - if a leader or a group says they're communist, the followers of that group are also communists. Otherwise they wouldn't follow the leader or group claiming to be communist. Whatever ends up happening with that group is real communism, because the people who make up the group are communists.

  5. The irony that no communist will ever understand, is that when they complain about capitalism, nearly all of the time they're not complaining about capitalism at all, they're complaining about corrupt government regulation. "The rich don't pay enough taxes!" Not capitalism. The entire concept of taxes is anti-capitalist. "People need to make a living wage!" Also not capitalism. Any government interference in wages is not capitalism. So when they make these accusations, "that's not real capitalism" would actually be a legitimate counter argument.

  6. Communism works great, for the tyrants at the top.

  7.  @soulie2001  capitalist leaders get rich by their entire nation becoming rich. Socialist leaders get rich by extracting everything from their own people.

  8. Yea I never bought it for a second, even if we take away all of the logical reasons it couldn't actually exist as advertised, I wouldn't want to live in a world where everything is just provided for you, no struggle, no building towards a goal, none of the things that actually make us human would exist anymore. It would be a terrible existence. That's the real reason communism is so evil, all of the surface level things are bad, but the real evil is the fact that even attempting communism means stripping people of their humanity and turning them into cattle.
