i jus want yall to know that none of yall did anything to convince me that communism isnt stupid

i actually wanna double down on whatifaltist's points. communism is inherently a "feminine" ideology. It's all about fantasy and this completely inane concept of equality. It makes little to no logical sense either in its depiction of capitalism or its claims of being a better alternative. It claims that capitalism will inevitably fall into class warfare, and while by some reaches we can argue this is true, its really not. Since the civil war, which was also not really class warfare either, there has not been a major civil war or revolution in america. If you look in europe, there hasnt been such an event since the french revolution. If you look at ANY communist country, youll find that they probably went 5 years before descending into chaos and facism. The only outlier i know of is cuba, but cuba had a lot of issues also related to communism.

The reality is we are all different. We are diverse. We need to embrace diversity to evolve properly. But we also need to recognize what does and doesnt work. We cannot be stagnant in either our embrace of diversity or our tendency to correct mistakes. We shouldnt persecute those with "undesireable traits" but we also shouldnt praise people for doing counterproductive things. We should be caring while being honest. Because in reality, we cannot fight evolution, but we can make the world a better place by acknowledging the unique strengths of others and allowing people to explore their potential. Communism says "based on societies needs, you will be more or less told how to live" where as capitalism says "do whatever the f*** you want, and based on some variables you will either be or not be successful, but ultimately you have some economic/career autonomy and the system rewards people who contribute productively". The latter actually allows for people to better their situation while retaining freedom as individuals. Communism takes away individual freedom. Its the antithesis of how nature works.

im a democrat but tbh i dont agree with democrats on a lot of social issues

i hate how they use words. The word racist, or bigoted, or facist, these are very strong words. Or another one, pedophile. My best friend is a "pedophile" because he talked to a 17 year old girl. About what? IDK. Sex? IDK. Doesnt matter tho, the fact he had her number was enough to lose all of his friends and be labeled a groomer.

This is how communism makes people think, it turns everyone into one big mob who are truly motivated by the same selfish interests of people under a capitalist regime. Except now because everything is in the interest of "the people", it incentivizes a different form of selfishness, where the social/political elite (no not the rich or the ruling class necessarily,generally just those who are in the majority demographic) are more or less gods among men, and anyone who doesnt fit this particular archetype are hunted to death or enslaved. Its a breeding ground for facism and nationalism. 2 ideologies proven to lead to a lot of bullshit

im black, but im racist for saying "we should try to stop doing as much crime particularly against other blacks". But i CANT be racist, why? Because im black.

Im done, and tbh i probably wont read any more posts itt but just know if u like communism, im not gonna say you're dumb, just misguided (but you will call me dumb just like 90% of the people itt because communists are as insecure as they are misguided)
