Capitalism vs Communism

#82
Communism, coming from someone who has lived his entire life in the shadow of the world’s most ruthlessly efficient capitalism machine...the pursuit of financial gain has done far, FAR more harm than good, to the point I doubt it even can accomplish anything useful for anyone other than the men at the very top.
Communist and Jewish that's like opposite to each other.

Are you bernie Sanders ?

When I say capitalism I'm referring to a free market capitalism where there is little to no government interference. I'm not an expert on this topic but I know communism leads to genocide regardless of whatever dream they try to sell you.

Where do you get your knowledge from? Maybe I could do some reading.
Well not all communist regime led to genocide. Probably it happened in Stalin's regime.

My uncle , grandfather liked communism because the work timing were fixed , only problem were they wanted their own business which was forbidden .

It's also true you can never attain happiness because the politicians were corrupt and mismanaged the economy that was main reason it failed

Brezhnev was the reason CCCP and the satellite saw decline in economy. Gorbachev was garbage leader but he saw the real problem of soviets and introduced glasnost and perestroika then the nationalist movement began in Muslim countries and parts of eastern europe.

Overall soviet was not that bad but food shortage and misgoverence by local leader lead to downfall. System was not perfect.

Young people hate communism from their parent because later years of soviet regime was horrible. However for my grandparent they lived better but it was not perfect.

USSR had 60% of its most developed land occupied by Germans and razed to the ground.

Meanwhile USA was untouched by the War

Ensuing famine could have been avoided if half of USSR wasnt occupied and destroyed.
Its true but soviet politicians didnt do much to grow. Korea and Japan were destroyed in ww2 and later korean war. They grew really fast and had better GDP standard. The politician were corrupt and brezhnev literally stagnant the agriculture economy.

They could have made communism a successful model but greed and lack of will to improve the system and were to busy with pointless cold war against USA was the reason behind failure of the model. Kuraschev tried to make soviet better he even beat america in space race and the politburo removed him with dummy guy called brezhnev.

You say not all communist regimes killed people but the ones that did killed more than all the wars in the last century, and we have a system that doesn't directly motivate killing while giving you freedom to pursue and achieve a life you want.

Btw, Karl Marx who founded communism was jewish and so is Bernie Sanders. Communism and judaism are two sides of the same coin.

People here dont even know the difference between "Socialism" and "Communism". That shows when people say USSR was a "communist" regime.
Communism as a model for an entire country is, so far, utopic. Never achieved.
And one more thing.
Karl Max is not the "founder" of "communism". His work is dedicated to analyze the "Capitalist System". What happens is that people use his theories to fuel the arguments for why Capitalism is bad and needs to be replaced before it consumes itself. It is not self-sustainable.
Which is why we have cycles of economic crises and then the private initiative has to go running with their tails between their legs and ask the so called "evil government" to save a bunch of bankers while the general population go bankrupt and die. :kayneshrug:

Economic crashes are entirely due to private central banks who print fake money into the system and loans it to governments to put in circulation. It's a criminal system that has nothing to do with capitalism.

It's funny how those who live happily on the free market criticize capitalism. Modern China is not a communist country, I think it's more like a Nazi country.
Regarding Marxism, I can only say, the communists don't love the poor, they just hate the rich

That's ungrateful behavior, if you don't like it then don't be a hypocrite and take advantage of it. Fuck off to a communist country, if not realize how blessed you are and stfu. You wouldn't even be allowed to complain in a communist system.
This is a childish way of thinking. Your argument is if you don't like it then leave, which is an argument that a 5th grader can debunk.

Everything can be improved on but complaining is what 5th graders do, not grown adults and criticising a system doesn't help anything especially when you're proposing a dangerous system that is much more inhumane, and it's completely logical to leave if you don't like it, make plans to live in a communist country since you don't like where you're currently living.

Criticism is the first step to change. You must admit you have a problem before you can change the problem. See how that completely negates the garbage you're typing? People are legit dying over stupid reasons like puffers being 250 - 350$ each. People are going into lifelong debt, bankruptcy and financial issues because cancer treatment is destroying them. Imagine using everything you have because you can't treat your cancer. According to idiots like you, people should've just worked harder.

How is that person going to leave? Completely get up, leave their families and bet their entire life and career just to move? How is a mother of three working three jobs to make ends meet going to move to Cuba, Vietnam, Laos, North Korea, or China? Are you a pet that only knows how to take orders? It's either agree or get out according to you, I guess the all the people who've died in genocide should've just left if they didn't want to die huh?

You're acting like those people wouldn't die of even more stupid reasons in a communist system, go back a few pages to the dude who described his experience with a simple ear infection.
Nothing happens overnight, you can definitely leave if you're willing to work and save money for a few years, it takes patience and a little sacrifice but it's completely doable.

Criticism is useless in the real world, naive pampered kids complain about what's wrong and expect the world to change, adults and logical people do something about it.

You dismissed half my argument because it debunks your entire shit but whatever:

I'm not a communist but you want to use anecdotal evidence which is a fallacy? Fine, I know people who've had grandparents who loved living under the USSR more than modern day Russia.

You wanna know a fun fact? Cuba has one of the best health care systems in the world and when Spain/Italy were getting fucked by covid, guess who sent supplies and their doctors for free? Cuba and China.

Nothing happens overnight, you can definitely leave if you're willing to work and save money for a few years, it takes patience and a little sacrifice but it's completely doable.
Completely and 100% false. What the fuck dude, literally any study debunks this entire notion. Get out of here with your kindergarten bullshit. I've debated kids with better logic than you.

History disagrees with you just like every academic who's ever written a paper on this subject. Criticizing is legit protests, staging events, etc and according you, they are being pampered kids.

You most likely have never worked a day in your life and living off your daddy's trust fund :milaugh:

Until, you've tasted poverty, don't tell someone to lick a boot and deal with it. Not when countries like the US have destroyed socialist countries to make sure they don't prosper.

This will be the last time I reply to you so have the last word if you'd like. You've already proved and admitted to your ignorance.

I didn't dismiss anything, it's true capitalism has room for improvement and things are far from perfect, but it's far better than communism which is what this thread is about, comparing capitalism to communism, if you ask me though as I said before in this thread the best system imo is a mix between capitalism and socialism.


I'm not a communist but you want to use anecdotal evidence which is a fallacy? Fine, I know people who've had grandparents who loved living under the USSR more than modern day Russia.
Anecdotal evidence by itself doesn't work but it's still very useful and if we go by statistics, alot more people suffered in USSR than ones who liked it, just ask the people who died, oh wait you can't.

You wanna know a fun fact? Cuba has one of the best health care systems in the world and when Spain/Italy were getting fucked by covid, guess who sent supplies and their doctors for free? Cuba and China.
Both of which lack even basic equipment for their healthcare workers most of the time, whom also receive very little money for the work they do.

Completely and 100% false. What the fuck dude, literally any study debunks this entire notion. Get out of here with your kindergarten bullshit. I've debated kids with better logic than you.
You're using ad hominem but you don't actually talk about why it's false, you just dismissed my point because you didn't want to face the truth.


History disagrees with you just like every academic who's ever written a paper on this subject. Criticizing is legit protests, staging events, etc and according you, they are being pampered kids.
Except in small petty matters, rarely has protesting and complaining ever accomplished anything productive, not saying it doesn't have its place but unless you have a better solution you're just being an idiot by whining about things.

You most likely have never worked a day in your life and living off your daddy's trust fund :milaugh:
You don't know anything about me, more ad hominem because you can't attack the argument.

Until, you've tasted poverty, don't tell someone to lick a boot and deal with it. Not when countries like the US have destroyed socialist countries to make sure they don't prosper.
I never told someone to lick a boot and deal with it, you're using a strawman argument, for someone who talked about fallacies you're sure making quite alot of them.

I just said if you don't like a capitalist system then you can leave and you didn't address why it wasn't possible to do so with proper planning.


This will be the last time I reply to you so have the last word if you'd like. You've already proved and admitted to your ignorance.
You didn't really have alot to say in the first place, good riddance.

"let's use statistics".
Immediately say a bunch of random stuff and appeals to "ask the dead people".
Lol.
Can you give me the statistics of how many people die of hunger in Cuba?
My country a few years ago had a program where we "imported" cuban doctors usually to work in areas with severe lack of doctors.
My best friend worked in a health center with a few of these cuban doctors and used to talk to him about what it was like is Cuba.
Dude said that, despite he not earning a lot, he had zero basic needs.
health attendance? his family had it covered.
Education? covered.
Security? covered.
Extremely problematic drug traffic? not a thing there.
Urban violence in concerning rates? not a thing there.
He earned less, but he didn't need to spend as much. There's a compensation for this.
He might never be able to buy a Ferrari, but most people also won't, so who cares? At least he's not gonna die bankrupt in a sidewalk because he can't afford medical bills to treat a flu or a broken leg.

More people died in the last century because of communism than all the wars combined, that's why I brought it up, because it eclipses all personal anecdotes and is more important than any studies you could carry out that shows a section of a population prefers such a system, not even acknowledging the fact such studies would probably not be allowed in the first place.

I don't know how many die of hunger in cuba but I know food shortage is a problem for alot of the population, poor planning by the government is to blame, something like that would not happen in a free market.

Let me get this straight. You're really using Cuba as a positive example? :few:

It's a poor, miserable country.

It's an island with not enough natural resources who suffered an economical embargo from one of the strongest nations worldwide since the freaking Cold War. Oh geez, I wonder how they aren't the most developed nation ever. They definitely only have themselves to blame. :few:

All Hail the Holy Invisible Hand of the Free Market!
If you think fairy tales are real, then it's hard to have a discussion.

The blame part is irrelevant, but facts are that it's poor and underdeveloped, and it's definitely not a good example of "communism" or "health care".
