The guy I’ve been called a socialist for not sucking the dick of in this thread seems more likely to put me in a gulag than the socialist mayor my country is currently in a tizzy over
Sometimes I think yall could be manipulated into anything if they just say “ree commies” enough. From what I’ve seen in this thread though, some users like nameless are pretty pro mass jailing and killing of dissenters as long as they are the dirty commies (or as other users have shown, anyone and their mother that doesn’t say Maduro bad 25x at the start of every discussion so you’re a commie too). This “those are socialist outcomes” ignores that they’re also authoritarian outcomes, and at least in my country from talking to conservative capitalist supporters irl at work and such they are getting way more supportive of authoritarian actions, gleeful about suppressing dissent.

Damn Peter Thiels international efforts to own yall are working

The reason these economic systems haven't worked, is incredibly simple:
The Capitalists destroy them and push puppets/controlled oppositions to guarantee these social experiments fail. That's why I stopped bothering to push them. It's like building a public garden in a city where arson is legal (stares at Gaza)
People will actually tell you that Hitler was sharing the means of the production with the proletariat, they're on the Walter White mix, holy shit.
Socialist/Communist societies do not have a chance in a global economy ruled by Capitalists, who profit off bombing and raping kids.
The way you can tell it isn't Socialism/Communism's fault is very simple: take Iraq and Iran. They are Muslim countries that worship an Abrahamic Religion, view Jesus with high regard, and in Iran's case had a functional democracy before terrorist insurgency from the West overthrew it and replaced it with these morons.
Why are they the way they are?
Because Capitalist murderers wanted their wealth/land. The
The ideology of the country's the USA, Israel, and Europe invade together do not matter to them. You can worship an offshoot of the same religion, and want nothing to do with these fuckers, and they'll still show up to rape and kill your kids. It has nothing to do with being Socialist or Communist.
Actual Socialism/Communism is where PEOPLE own the means of production, through government. As in, THE PEOPLE run the government. Guess why governments run by child murderers don't want the people, who want to rightfully jail them, to have power in the government?
They on the Walter White stuff if they want to tell me any major country is run by its people, none of them are fucking socialist/communist.
I used to believe the problem was money, but, I was wrong.
The problem is debt/interest. Capitalism is designed to make slaves through economic debt, and that's why it's evil. Slavery IS A FEATURE of Capitalism. I stopped bothering arguing about Socialism/Communism, though, because most of the people that call themselves as such are full of shit (the most Final Glue, the Shiniest Pillars), and 90% of people are just using their own definitions
These arguments are so semantics driven, people will tell you China is Communist. Telling anyone that China's People control its means of production, looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. No they do not, their Tennis Stars will get kidnap if they complain about getting raped, anyone who thinks the Proletariat is running China is smoking the Walter White pack, or maybe even the Oomaloompa Agent Orange.
Go ask Chinese slave workers how much political power they have, it's a disgusting insult to those people to pretend they have that power when all they have is misbranded tyranny.
Usury is the actual problem. The issue is it's hard to talk about this without racist idiots coming out of the woodwork, and trying to blame the Jews for everything while ignoring Christians Muslims Pagans and Atheists doing the exact same shit all over the place. I think a dude playing a Fish-Man Marine from a D&D Campaign (shout out Rustage the DM and Briggs who said it) put it best for me recently: "Every group of people has cunts."

"Very nearly every single large-scale societal problem (poverty, homelessness, inequality, endless economic growth, war, imperialism, social breakdown, political corruption, mental illness, bullshit jobs) can be traced back to usury or interest. If you “solve” this problem, then you also fix every single problem I mentioned above. It’s not difficult to understand, merely extremely difficult to implement.
[If this is something that you're already aware of, great: please don't comment something along the lines of "Everyone knows that already," because it's simply not true. This post isn't meant for you.]
Very quick definition: Usury is the practice of lending money on the condition that more must be paid back than was originally borrowed; this ‘little bit extra’ is known as interest.
Here’s how it works: Suppose you need a loan to buy a house. The bank lends you €100,000 but only on the condition that you pay back more than you borrowed. Not only must you repay the €100,000 principal, you must also repay, say, an extra €50,000 in interest. So over time you work, earn €150,000, and pay it back. The bank pockets €50,000 in profit, and you keep your house. Seems fair enough at first glance.
But stop and think: where did that extra €50,000 come from? The bank never created it. They only gave you €100,000. That “extra” has to come out of the money already circulating in society.
Now imagine, for the sake of this argument, that the total money supply is fixed at €1 million. (I'm aware that the money supply is continually increasing; this is an example for the sake of understanding.) By repaying €150,000 on a €100,000 loan, you’ve effectively siphoned €50,000 out of the common pool and handed it to the bankers. Even if you create a valuable product or service, others need to pay you with money that has been created through loans so everyone else now has less to work with; the same amount of people end up “chasing” around less money, which means that society as a whole is poorer. And society will keep getting poorer in the same way unless something fundamental changes. Why? Because most money in our system is created through loans which means there will always be more debt than money available to repay it. The math guarantees defaults.
The debt-money system, the usury system, is like playing musical chairs with your life. Not paying back your loans is like not finding a chair; and as time goes on, there are less and less chairs to go around. So some people must lose their homes, starve, or fail because the system literally makes it impossible for everyone to pay back what they owe.
Interest on debt is the most important problem that you have to focus on, the head of the snake so to speak, if you’re serious about tackling any problem. Here’s why.
Poverty and Inequality: Every loan requires more to be paid back than was created in the first place. This mathematical imbalance guarantees that some must default, some must fall behind, and others must accumulate unearned gains. Poverty is literally baked into the system. As long as interest exists, inequality widens and wealth flows upward, towards those who lend money at interest.
Endless Growth and Ecological Collapse: If money is created as interest-bearing debt, then the economy must keep expanding forever to service that debt. This is why governments and corporations are obsessed with “growth.” But infinite growth on a finite planet is suicide. Usury is the hidden driver behind deforestation, fossil fuel extraction, mass extinction, and climate breakdown: the pressure to expand at all costs. Think of it: banks only lend to those who can generate more money than they were given; that’s an incentive for endless growth.
War and Imperialism: War is profitable because it generates debt. Nations borrow to fund armies, and banks happily collect interest for generations. Historically, entire empires, from Rome to Britain to America, have run on the war-debt machine. Usury feeds conflict, because war creates the perfect excuse for more borrowing, more taxation, more control.
Social Breakdown and Moral Decay: When survival itself is tied to debt repayment, human relationships are warped. Neighbors become competitors, communities fragment, friends fight over “scarce” resources, and trust erodes. Instead of giving freely, we ask: “what’s in it for me?”
Political Corruption and Oligarchy: Debt makes governments beholden to creditors. Instead of serving citizens, they serve bondholders, bankers, and financial elites. This is why policy consistently favors capital over people. Usury concentrates power until democracies rot into oligarchies.
Personal Stress and Mental Illness: On an individual level, usury is the biggest reason for anxiety and depression. Mortgages, student loans, medical bills, and credit card debt all create a permanent background hum of stress that grinds people down. Self-harm and family breakdown are often downstream effects of the crushing burden of interest. If you notice, too, most couples fight over money. Why is that?
To sum up: usury is the source of almost all of our large-scale problems since it forces everyone into perpetual slavery. Why do you think that every great religious tradition recognized this and sought to ban usury? From the Torah to the Qur’an to the teachings of Jesus, usury was condemned as incompatible with justice and human flourishing.
If we are serious about solving poverty, restoring the environment, ending war, rebuilding community, and reclaiming sanity, then we must face the root of the rot. And the root is usury.
There are real solutions too: Universal Basic Income, mutual credit systems, minimum and maximum pay, Georgist land value taxes, and the shift from centralized to decentralized banking. I’d be glad to go into detail on any of these if people are interested."
