@ccarr1025 oof, that's a really scientific assessment.
"Like you see in communist countries"
Which countries?
Have you actually seen breadlines in a communist country, or have you just heard about them and you believed it without question?
There are breadlines in Capitalist countries, they're called grocery stores. But you actually have to pay for the bread, unlike breadlines in Socialist countries where the state gives away the bread for free to people in need.
People in Capitalist countries starve to death if they can't afford to pay for their bread.
More people starve to death in Capitalist countries, there are more people scrounging for food in America than in Socialist countries.
Under capitalism, extra food is wasted and locked in dumpsters to prevent poor people from eating it.
A third of all food produced every year, is wasted. Millions of people die of starvation every year in Capitalist countries despite there being enough food produced to feed 10 billion people worldwide, which is more than necessary to feed everyone on the planet.
Scarcity is manufactured for profit.
Socialist countries have better food security than free market countries.
That wasn't evidence bud, you just described a problem that is worse in Capitalist countries and pretended it was evidence that Communists is worse, when it's the exact opposite.

@someonenew439 Also America has no paid leave, terrible maternity leave, lack of sick pay, ridiculous student debt, housing crisis, food deserts, sundown towns, multiple white hate groups, a failing education system, the most incarcerated people on earth, cops that murder people, and FLINT STILL DOESN'T HAVE CLEAN DRINKING WATER.
America is not good.

@kaceyquispe4666 that's not socialist, the only reason people think Venezuela is Socialist, other than Fox news lying about it, is because their oil industry is nationalized.
That's it.
Their entire economy is built around exporting oil, so when the price of oil crashed, so did their economy.
It had nothing to do with Socialism, the government has been mired in scandal and corruption, largely due to American interference over the past 40 years rendering it a poor badly run country that is easy to exploit for their oil.
Why do you think America is so interested in them?
Why is Venezuela literally the first thing every one points to when they want to argue that socialism doesn't work?
You aren't immune to propoganda dude, you're regurgitating stuff I've heard a dozen times and it's always been factually incorrect.
It was when Tucker Carlson said it, when the last guy said it and when you said it.
The more the American public believes the demonization of Venezuela the easier it is for the US govt to exploit them for oil or justify supporting a cue if the Venezuelan govt decides to actually introduce some Socialist policies to fix things.
Then they'll install a puppet dictatorship.
They've done it before, all throughout south America in the past 5 decades.
They'll try to do it again.
It's really easy to read up this.

@kaceyquispe4666 Giving big Jordan Peterson vibes, talking about hierarchy and biological inefficiencies.
So you don't actually know that socialism is the cause of those countries problems, you're just making an uneducated guess.
Nice one.
Why hasn't socialism been tried everywhere?
Uh, because a system where the workers control the means of people and they are publicly owned by everyone wouldn't be as confirmable for the people who currently own and control the means of production.
Capitalism is a great system for the 1%, they literally control the entire world through their capital. Under socialism they couldn't just profit of workers surplus value because they own the factory or something. They would have to get a real job and actually contribute to society, instead of controlling society fir their own gain.
Look around you man, look at history.
Capitalism has never ended poverty, e en though we gave the resources to do it.
Poverty is increasing, but look who is doing well under capitalism.
The rich and powerful.
It's their system, we are just cogs in the machine.
Capitalists have been very openly opposing socialism for decades, to the point of assassinations and supporting right wing death squads in Socialist countries.
They don't want socialism and they have all the power.
That's why socialism is associated with the phrase "workers of the world unite. You have nothing to lose but your chains".

@PheonixKnght But those with all the money have all the power, they never have to work a day in their life in order to be able to afford to live abd they set the prices on everything and write the laws.
Us poor people don't have a choice, pay the billionaires whatever they ask or die, those are our choices. It isn't a voluntary system, it's coercion.
It doesn't have to be like this. We have enough resources for everyone, we have enough food, we have enough houses. There is so much we could be doing and so much that needs to be fixed, there shouldn't be any homeless or unemployed people struggling to find work just so they can afford to live.
This system serves a handful of rich ghouls who have more than anyone could ever need whilst billions slave away and die in poverty.
We could build a better system, one without the ultra wealthy and the extremely poor, where we could all live decent middle class lives.
Capitalism is a terrible system that only works for a select few, that's why they've spent years trying to convince everyone that capitalism is human nature, it's natural, it's the way the world is supposed to work.
But that's a lie. A lie that serves them.
Stop being a slave and realize the rich aren't on your side, we don't have to do what they say and accept the world they built, we can change things, we can make the world better.

@stormy2143 Yes, the United States socialist like war economy certainly gave them an economic boom for a few decades, and with almost every country in Europe devasted by the war but the United States was left essentially untouched put them in the position of being the only remaining superpower.
The USSR still have them a run for their money for the next few decades, despite half of their countries infrastructure being destroyed in the process of defeating the Germans during the war.
That economic boom didn't last though, it never does, because capitalism is an unstable and inefficient system, there's always a boom and bust cycle.
Since the 80s the United States has been on a steady decline.
That period of time isn't proof that capitalism can be successful, but that war economies are, especially when the war is being fought in the other side of the world.
Heck, that's almost more of an argument for the benefits of socialism, because the United States didn't look like a free market Capitalist country during the war.
So capitalism can't be successful without a period of socialism to prop it up.

@futurewarlord99 Also no, efficiency is not the goal of Capitalist Industry, profit is.
Efficiency is only a goal when it serves to increase profits, but it doesn't always.
I think my example of food distribution made that pretty clear.
I have been talking about industry being sustainable anyway, efficiency isn't the main point, and you're the one who brought it up.
Industry is unsustainable and that is the main issue.
I think a socialist government has a better chance of distributing food based on need on account of a Socialist governments priorities being the wellbeing of the people, evidenced by the quality of life improving in every country that elects a socialist government, Burkina Faso, Cuba, Vietnam, Russia. Food security is generally better in Socialist countries than in Capitalist ones.
A Capitalist neoliberal government will never eliminate world hunger because it isn't trying to, after 60 years of global capitalism that should be obvious. The goals of a neoliberal government is to serve corporate interests and let the free market solve any societal problems, under the misguided belief that valuing profit over all else will lead to economic prosperity for everyone.
But it quite obviously hasn't.

@epix4300 I was talking about the Soviet union, not modern day Russia. You should slow down and read more carefully, think about what is acting being said.
My point was that Russia went from a backwards shit hole to a world superpower and their greatest time of prosperity while socialism was implemented, once the Soviet union was disbanded and Russia became a neoliberal Capitalist country everything got worse.
That is literally my point.
I'm 27 btw, and yeah I'm ignoring the Quran debate, because it's ultimately semantics, you aren't arguing against something that causes real world harm to people that you want to see stop, seems like you don't know or even care enough to learn about it, you're just deeming an old religions text evil to win a debate in a comment section. It's hyperbolic and devoid of any real world meaning, the Quran is no more evil than the bible which discuses buying, owning and beating siaves, I honestly don't care what the old book says. I care about what the actual human beings who follow the religion do, and most of them live peaceful and loving lives and don't murder anybody.
The fact that you are so determined to prove the Quran is theoretically evil but your response to the United States killing children this year is something like "oh I'll have to look into that" says so much about you.
I'd rather debate things that matter, ideas that will lead to material change to the world, making it better.
You're commenting on videos that you aren't even watching like a child, "leftist lies" "imagine being a socialist", things dripping with smug immaturity and utter ignorance.
You're damn right I'm on the far left, that's literally where all the best ideas, philosophy, science, music and art come from.
Haven't you noticed that things get better when progressives are in charge, that's when things, you know, progress.

@helldeirch No, I'm not arguing that monarchy was actually better.
But it was better for the monarchs.
Just like capitalism is better for the capitalists.
The transition wasn't from monarchy to democracy by the way, the fact that you think it was is very telling on just how uneducated you are on history.
No wonder you are so ignorant of all the successes of the USSR, history is obviously not your strong suit.
The monarchs didn't just decide one day to disband monarchy in favour of feudalism because it's better for everyone, systems of power don't automatically change because one is better than the other, we have to make it change.
So your assertion that if Socialism was better than capitalism then it would have automatically replaced it is stupid, the dominant system isn't there because it's the best system but because it serves the people in power.
There needs to be an organized movement or revolution to change a system.
And that hasn't happened yet for overthrowing capitalism.
But that doesn't prove capitalism is the best system, only that it's a difficult system to change or overthrow, because those in power have a lot of control, and they've convinced lemmings like yourself to turn your brain off and declare this system the best system because it's the one you happen to be in.
And like a lemming you posit that if there was a better system then the world would just change around you and you wouldn't have to do anything.
But that's not how the world works.
Superior systems don't just replace inferior ones if the inferior system suits the needs of those in power better than the other systems, like how monarchy suited the needs of the monarchs despite it's inferiority as a system compared to those which came after it.
We have to make things change.
Capitalism is a terrible system that benefits the few at the cost of the many.
It's better than monarchy but it isn't actually democratic, the same power structures exist, they just have different names.
Socialism is a better system, and the movement supporting it is growing.
The world needs to change and it can be better.
You can ignore all the problems in the world because the current system is working fine for you, but don't tell others they should move somewhere else because there are those of us who care about things outside of ourselves and want to change the world for the better not because it would be better for us personally, but better for everyone.
Except for the capitalists, but fuck em.
Like the monarchs who lost everything when monarchy was violently replaced with feudalism, the capitalists will have to get a real job and contribute something meaningful to society rather than living like kings because they own things and can pay other people to work for them.

@rowmin6433 Countries fail for a myriad of different reasons, mostly through illegal CIA intervention, the fact that you don't know how any of them failed and you think all communist countries magically fail on their own show you haven't looked into it, at all. You're the one lying, you think you know everything you need to know about communism but you only know the lies you've been fed by the rich and powerful.
Everyone doesn't want to live in a free market country, the majority of people in communist countries are in favour of the system, that's why they vote for it.
Most socialist governments are elected through the democratic process, they improve the quality of life in their country, and then American tax dollars are spent undermining democracy in other countries and actively making life worse.
Look at what the US did in Chile, they overthrew the democratically elected government and installed a puppet dictatorship that killed people and favoured US hegemony over the lives of it's people.
The United States govt abd the CIA have openly admitted to interfering in Latin American countries over 50 times, they tried to assassinate Fidel Castro over 600 times, everyone knows this.
Think about it for a moment, if communism always fails then why does the United States waste billions trying to sabotage it while their own country turns to shit?
