  1. You're wrong, it's corruption that sucks. Communism, no food meme is a meme because it happened, millions starved in the holodomor, the great leap forward, etc.

  2. Seems like capitalism is a natural consequence of freedom and provate property.

  3. Marxists like to yap about dumb shit for some reason.

  4. Capitalism is based on your right to own your labor, your time, your private property. It's your fundamental right to be a greedy bastard. If someone forces you to be noble and generous, then it's not much of an achievement. Why give anything to your neighbor if he is an asshole who shits on your lawn?

  5.  @DimGiant  it won't scale well beyond a few hundred. You will have too many sociopaths to deal with. Some people just are not right in the head and they will corrupt your system.

  6.  @Kakashi75  really? I thought it was called a church community. You wouldn't be required to help your neighbor if he fell on hard times, but it was in your interest because you might fall on hard times.

  7.  @thest0rmyblu  unlikely. The Communists will destroy their own society with that technology trying to maintain power through social credit scoring. Trust me, it's a dystopia.

  8.  @DimGiant  how do you control who gets into which community? What happens when you fall in love with another man in a different community that already has 2000 members? What happens if the members of your community are losers? What if you don't want to be in a community? What if that community makes the same person clean the group bathroom all the time? What if you want to go on a lovely artist retreat with another community, but your community has to make their grain quota for the overlords? What about criminals in your community?

  9.  @DimGiant  America is destroying it's self, it looks like the mouse utopia experiment from NIMH.

  10. This video is ad hominem and straw man arguements.

  11.  @delzabrown  Marxists are too stupid to be equal to normal people.

  12.  @fcktherich6913  it's not capitalism that keeps them in the lowest class, it's misfortune and lack of marketable skills. Besides, in socialist societies the lowest class are sent off to the GULAG, or just killed like dogs.

  13.  @fcktherich6913  well, maybe we should force people to be generous. I think I will start by giving this family of three your bedroom, they need it more than you.

  14.  @hoagielamp6543  you there, comrade. They need you to milk the cows and slop the pigs, for the greater good.

  15. It's not really a fair comparison. Capitalism compared to socialism is like comparing apples and oranges. Capitalism just means you own the results of your labor. Capitalism doesn't force you to work for anyone, you are certainly free to be homeless and go hungry. You could be a monk and live in the woods meditating if you want to, perhaps supplicate for food when you're hungry. There's no one there to enforce any amount of generosity from you, so you might starve, but most of the time, people will share if you're nice. There's no one around forcing you to work anywhere. Socialism is an entire governmental system where that which is good for a society is decided upon by some mechanism, then this greater good is made into law that all citizens are bound to. You're not free to relax, you have to work. Your neighbors are assholes? Tough, you have to work for their benefit. You want to leave? You're not allowed to leave, because you have to work. The mechanism that identified the greater good decides on steel forges but forgets to do any farming? Well, then everyone starves. And that happened under Mao.

  16. Uh... Yeah... the lesson was actually: "From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs."

  17. Freedom vs Socialism is way more fair comparison than capitalism vs Socialism.

  18.  @glimoreganajai2206  indeed, the government will decide through some mechanism what you need to do today for the greater good. Guess what? You get to be a sanitation engineer!

  19.  @fellowtraveler2251  under socialism you're so much more free to decide how much you give to the greater good, just as long as you choose 85% or more. Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country.

  20.  @krieghart5515  you have no idea what forced labor really is. You always have a choice to chase the carrot. If you don't like carrots, you can chase pizza. Under socialism, you have no choice, you are forced to chase the carrot weather you like them or not.

  21.  @glimoreganajai2206  I am glad there's someone around here that has some intelligence!
