its insane that i'd be more shunned from my family if they found me with the communist manifesto than if they found me with any hard d***

Can someone CONFIRM the s*** about bernies tax plan? I’ve heard THREE people today say he’s gonna tax 52% of people’s incomes who make $29k a year. And I didn’t even bring him up, they just talkin bout it.

Niggas crying talkin bout he gon take half your pay check

nobody making under 250k a year is getting an income tax increase under the bernie plan besides the 4% medicare premium which doesnt apply to families making under 29k

considering my out of pocket healthcare expenses though id still be saving like 1200 a year

So all these people falling for “fake news” then

pretty wild how mini mike is the only person in this dumb presidential race who understands why the CPC stays relevant without just being flagrantly racist

This is the saddest poster I’ve ever seen on ktt

loner is also pretty sad

What do you guys think about north korea?

watch the documentaries i posted at the top of page 41

1st one is about north koreans living in south korea; 2nd one is split into a bunch of parts but its worth sticking with, its a travel blog by some chinese tourists who vacation in north korea

I’m constantly bouncing back and fourth between Socialism and Social Democracy, not able to decide which I like more

well, one requires superexploitation of the global south to exist, so

If you like the system in the Nordic countries, then you should be a social democrat. But if you do end up choosing socialism, please consider being a market socialist in the vein of Yugoslavia

yugoslavia was a marxist-leninist country

ok back to blocking you

Yeah morally I feel like Socialism is the best form of an economy but I’m not sure if you could ever get Americans onboard with it after years of capitalism and greed.

It seems like the best way everyone pitching together for the good of the people

To be fair, economic planning has been less effective compared to letting market factors decide how much to produce. The world should certainly be less unequal than it is currently but it is important that people have the right to create products with a certain level of freedom

Also kimjongun is a garbage waste of space

people dont understand it because they hear buzz words such a ussr, north korea and Venezuela

but then they don't realise that all of developed world have socialist policies which we all take for granted

stuff like free education, health care, roads etc are all socialist policies which work in Australia idk why it wouldnt work in the USA. I dont pay hundreds of dollars to buy scripts when i am sick its 10 to 20 dollars i couldnt imagine someone having diabetes in USA and paying 500 dollars a month to stay alive

welfare isnt socialism but i get what you're saying

Even if you're satisfied with the social wage that comes with social democracy, I'd say that one of the more compelling arguments against social democracy is that all of the gains of social democracy can be taken away from workers without any (counter)revolutionary political change. Just look at the US, Europe used to have more income inequality than America just a couple of decades ago, and it didn't take an overthrow of the political system that had led to the social democratic programs in the first place to reverse that.

And like kimjongun said, social democracy doesn't do anything to combat imperialism.

I want to do more research about them but I'm entirely sure that it's not like what the media makes 'em look like

check out those documentaries i posted earlier in the thread, the travel blog in particular is illuminating because it thoroughly debunks all the typical dumb arguments in the media that its not a prosperous society

You guys ever hear the conspiracy theory that Pol Pot was a CIA plant?
