That's funny. Didn't Lenin (or some red notable) say communism is just socialism by force?

PEOPLE USE RESOURCES...... this and this alone is to "blame" for what you blame capitalism for, and as a direct result of leaders and oligarchy and tyranny Socialism/communism (yes they are the same) has definitely killed more people, a government killing its own, intentionally.


Of course socialism and communism are different, why would you even say something that stupid?

As for people use resources ... well of course they do. So in any system has waste as a byproduct of extracting/harvesting/processing/manufacturing, sure. One of the features of both communism and to a lesser extent socialism, is a more equitable distribution of resources. The richest top 8 PEOPLE own as much as the bottom 4 billion people, so really capitalism has permitted both the pointless acquisition and the associated environmental degradation, workplace injury, time, economic hardship etc of all that excess in so few hands.

I don't really expect you're all multi-millionaires but why do people whose wealth is closer to poverty than billionaire, cuck so hard for capitalism?

A few of the wealthy Chinese are reportedly going walkabouts lately. Reeducation camps, organ donation or just running scared maybe?

I'd be bugging out as well if I had billions tied up in a country that was inches away from being annihilated

Its interesting that the threads this site advertises such as a policeman with a half nazi face doesn't exist when you click on it. Did Albert get it banned again?

In theory be it democracy or socialism or capitalism or communism they are have their positives. But reality is not book.

Capitalism has killed more people than communism and done more environmental harm than anything else. And that is a fact, we just like it cuz it gives us shiny new toys to play with
