People's Beliefs SUUUCK. Truth #1 Forever
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
IMO the greatest trick Capitalists ever pulled was convincing people all of the countries run by dictators and fascist plutocracies were Socialism or Communism. No. No they weren't.

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."

I'll link to someone smarter than me:

"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."
 
Did you read my post? This is precisely the problem. Society ends up with prestige seeking narcissistic assclowns in positions of influence for this very reason, which doesn't serve us in any way. Were lines of work like medicine and engineering less prestigious and promising of elitarian status it would attract the right people.
The harsh student life certainly contributes to them growing a certain sense of entitlement.

I'm not stupid, why would I ever consider doing this to myself? I don't need other people to worship and praise me.
There’s no narcissism involved

People with these high skill degrees objectively do a harder and more prestigious job than most people

Disagree? Go learn their skill as easily

This doesn’t mean they’re superior by any means. EVERY human should have access to their basic needs and human rights. These people deserve to get rewarded more for the extra effort they’ve put in. A person building an aeroplane is doing a much harder task than throwing trash. As long as everyone is having their basic necessities met, there’s no issue with harder working people getting more. The problem is when the resource hogging gets to the point people don’t or struggle to get their basic necessities which is why we need some socialist policies to maintain that

Passion and incentive are NOT mutually exclusive

The very fact you’re even trying to justify a neurosurgeon earning the same as a garbage cleaner shows you have no idea about even half the struggles they go through to get to that state

A functioning society with some narcissistic neurosurgeons you rarely have to interact with (if at all) is much better than a society with no incentive where everyone is going to go for low skill jobs since they give them the same amount of money. And the latter society is objectively going to go to shit and in the end, nobody will even be able to meet their basic needs

Not all jobs are equal and that’s the brutal fact of life. Some skills are objectively superior to others whether you like it or not and no I’m not sorry if that comes out as harsh

Case in point. Bro already knows he's not gonna get a high skill job because it's objectively a far worse investment in society where everyone has equal wealth. Look no further than the same people pushing this crap

Passion my ass bruh y'all just propping up laziness :usoprice:

Nah. You just have no idea what you’re talking about, but such is life.
lol stfu

About which part? Be real

The populace of America would currently let anyone do anything to them if you just shout “commies!!” Loud enough to convince em. American right wingers seem to all want to legalize running over protestors if you get talking deeply to them, and they’ll usually say it’s because they’re radical left socialists or some bs like that

Now in this thread you have people biting your head off if you don’t virtue signal by putting in “socialism bad of course” in every comment talking about what U.S. intervention might bring. Yes, I’m absolutely right that popular support for “gulags” among the right wing in my country is way higher than the socialist bogeyman they claim everyone and their mother is a pawn of. Don’t USA already have deals with one South American dictator to open megaprisons to send whoever they want to?

Now they’re floating Stephen miller “running” Venezuela, and all the “you a dirty red commie?” Commenters here will say you can’t discuss if that’ll be good for the people because it means you want Maduro back. Maybe not you specifically, but this thread is totally full of people from the country doing the takeover who can be led like sheep’s with 50s style red scare shit against their fellow countrymen or any nation the U.S. military wants to take over.

They’ll probably start saying Greenland is a commie hellhole soon to justify

Then manual laborers like the children in mines and the slaves that built your phone should be millionaires!

Who is the skillest jobman out there?
Manual labour is easier than intellectual labour sadly. This is not to downplay manual labour. But usually, it's only one side that can replicate the other's work.

Regardless, if you read my post, you'd know that I advocated for everyone having basic human rights regardless of job and implementation of policies that prevent these poor people being abused but whatever, stay dense Mr "Neurosuregon should earn same as Garbage Man".

Your unrealistic utopia cannot be implemented because it's like a child wishing a world with just sunshine and rainbows. Every time people swear it will get implemented, they become yet another victim of human nature and it turns into a brutal authoritarian dictatorship where nobody even gets their basic human rights met and socialists who have never experienced struggle will downplay it and say "it wasn't real socialism" ignoring that it is damn near impossible to implement.
 
Yea. People who don't know what real struggle is will never understand why US is the dream country to majority of the world
Pretty soon it’ll be because being born in the USA as opposed to Greenland is how you avoid the USA raping and pillaging you. Listen to some magas talking about Canadians even, I’ve heard some bloodthirsty motherfuckers to anyone who isn’t a red blooded american
 
Personal interest only takes you so far for most people lol society wants rewards for harder work it’s a very basic human concept
In life people search for more value than money in their work


You need money to survive and live a luxurious life and that’s a brutal fact.
Exactly. You seek money because you need money to survive. Now imagine living in a world were this need is not present anymore. Well... you will see that people find value in something else. And we are not necessarily talking about passion here. The sense of belonging, the sense of doing something that counts can be enough.

but u can't just look at the time investment, amount of skill necessary, amount of stress to become a neurosurgeon AND practice neurosurgery and say " yeah being a garbage cleaner should be rewarded just as much as that "
Why not ? The amount of work is the same and the value to society is also similar. If you start ranking the value of work then it's logical to say that a CEO must be payed more than a factory worker... but is it ethical ? Not really, not at all in fact.

This hierarchical mindset only works because we believe that we live in a meritocracy and because we need money to survive capitalism. But this is deeply flawed.

If one job is payed less, that would mean said job is less beneficial to society. But that's not the case. And the question is not if it's easy or hard, it's if it's necessary or not.

Some of it yes, there’s literally 100s of years of evidence from failed communist societies.

there’s a reason why socialist hate individualism as an ideology.
Do you feel like I lack individuality?


Yea. People who don't know what real struggle is will never understand why US is the dream country to majority of the world
Sure..

Uhhh no ?

Let's just say that the value to society is similar, we need healthy people and we need our streets clean ( or there would be more sick people )

U can't compare picking up garbage from the ground to performing surgery the time you need to acquire that skill and the pressure / stress that's put on you when you execute it it's insane imagine having to opena dude's head in 2 and having to go through a 12+ hrs straight surgery to remove a tumor without a break and potentially killing OR permanently ruin what's left of the guy's life

A neurosurgeon can become a very good garbage cleaner tomorrow a garbage cleaner will have to go through life another time to become a neurosurgeon let alone a very good one. Both are valuable to society no one is saying they're not, but one skill is much more valuable than the other because it's insanely much more difficult to replicate.

With my sample size of 1 family friend neurosurgeon, I think its likely that many would cry if they broke a nail at a manual labor job

if they weren't busy complaining about how they're too good for it

I wonder if all these pages of people talking about socialism aren't differentiating between Social Democracy (used in Nordic countries) and good old Socialism (like the USSR/Maoist China/North Korea).

Social Democracy is a good system and is needed to counter predatory practices that corporations may take against the working class.
Socialism is anti-human. Its end-goal is to abolish private property, which is as old as civilization itself.

That. Is. Capitalism. With. Welfare.

We differentiate it, but I'm not sure certain people from the US do.

That’s the fun part, Social Democracies are capitalist

I think it’s more that the neurosurgeon can practically become a garbage person tomorrow

The said can’t be said in reverse

even amongst blue collar jobs skilled workers are paid more
