Controversial General Political Discussion

[MonochromeYoru]

when has the U.S ever robbed an entire country of their resources

Genuinely curious. the countries I know of earn a share of the wealth U.S companies make off their reserves

Which country's people's lives have dramatically become better due to US involvement in their natural resources?

Not the ruling class or wealthy or politicians of that country. The actual poor.

Will not matter

A non argument

 

[eamonpro]

These communists wanna do everything but actually live in a communist society. Lol

Still being a pussy lol

How will the actual poor benefit from non U.S involvement? The poor were actually fleeing Venezuela to neighboring colombia and dominican republic for example.

it's funny to me how the only way socialism can work in these people's mind is only if everybody and their momma joins a socialist state

meanwhile China and Vietnam seem to be doing okay with their "market socialism" without the need to spread it lol

I do not subscribe to the newly appeared socialist ideas. It's a terrible trend and it only came alive in countries that have clearly had 0 experience with it.

Would you rather live in America or the Baltic states during the Soviet era?

Anyways, be nice to each other, no name calling

I am not inherently against socialism, just think it's ineffective and highly retarded if the only way to obtain socialism is if every single country in the world hops on board lmao

You do realise most of these poor people were fucked over anyways right? Most of the country was starving without electricity. Even getting basic human services would be a huge upgrade to their current lifestyle

People in the comforts of their first world countries telling people who’ve actually endured the hardships of socialism how it’s a better system is hilarious. Reminds me of people who’re complaining when Venezuelans are celebrating

From the “slaves should thank us for the opportunity” school of thought lol.

listen we own you now, but you were savages, so get to suckin

 

[Logiko]

You are pushing for a system she's very well aware of. That's my point, it's pretty funny to see

The human brain is a strange machine. It create biases. And a lot of people think they know a lot of things about a lot of other things.

Are they right? Perhaps, but the argument of "living in a society" is not solid enough to determinate this. I live in the same society I lived a few years ago and yet, I now understand and feel the impact that I denied before.

You want to understand capitalism and socialism? It will take you more than your own biases.

The conditions the socialist dictator had the poor people in his own country going through like depriving them of basic human rights is very akin to slavery, yes

im going to get a cat to bite you

 

[Etzel Andergast]

I mean, I live in the current capitalist european Union. I understand and live the horror of capitalism very well...

So what do we do now? We count the points or we look at the reality of the systems?

The horrible of western europe is 1% of the horrible of other places

 

[GalaxyLevelShanks]

The horrible of western europe is 1% of the horrible of other places

Let the privileged people try to play victim because they have main character syndrome while dismissing the horrors that actual victims have gone through

 

[Roo]

Denmark, Norway and other nordic countries are doing pretty well for themselves despite being capitalistic
