    Niggas really think that society on a masd scale will "work together for the common good" lmao

    Humans are inherently selfish lmao. No ones gonna work without some immediate reward

    One issue i took with saying this is that capitalism inherently perpetrates class struggle, therefore making people selfish also by desperation. That's like a "the abused becomes the abuser" kinda thing, you gotta join the f***ed up system to survive because otherwise you won't have enough money to keep up with having to pay for everything and having all types of debt

    Society wouldn't even have to voluntarily 'work together for the common good' as we'd think of it how it'd be today if their material needs were met,

    this isn't even mentioning the culture of wealth hoarding which is a whole other thing I don't wanna break down rn

    It’s always the mighty CIA
    And still, it doesn’t change the fact that everything was done according to Marx and Engels

    He laughed at me saying "Its never worked" so i asked him to tell me when its worked

    Its not missing the point lmao im asking him a question

    And if you look at a history book youll know what the answer is which is why every internet communist gets stumped by that question or default to the "(Communist country) didnt do it right!!"

    You ought to realize that that question is also a default, basic, bad faith question because you won't listen to the nuances of how things are much different now in the 21st century as well as the fact that authoritarian governments in the past isn't a reason to defy the need to meet peoples material needs and allow them more power in their own workplace instead of being wage slaves

    Not to mention that I do not consider what's happening in the United States a success. We can get into how the United States is problematic but I feel like you should already know by now

    History book doesn't emphasize the problems over what they think good obedient young people should think, it's not going to prime you to challenge the issues because otherwise the power structure would be overturned

    yeah, it would be funded and treated as an essential public good lol

    So KTT2 would cease to exist

    Like literally S would lose control of it and all the Drake stans who massively outdo the Ye stand in numbers would flip the site on its head...democratically of course

    its literally like a shared platform everyone can use if they have access to a computer, which you can go to a PUBLIC library (socialist) and get on

    u don't have to pay to get on it, its not as good of an example as others

    @OP u snapped with this thread even if it was unintentional it was interesting albeit frustrating

    Inb4 another "WhEn HaS cOmMuNiSm EvEr WoRkEd?" while disregarding the effects of colonialism and staging of coups and wealth inequality and abuse under capitalism not to mention having the most murderous military meanwhile not even able to take care of veterans when they come home

    All these values a lot of people 'stand for' in the U.S. , they are absolute CAP

    They're f***ing lying to you to "look good." Because if they cared, they'd observe and realize things are f***ed up and need to be changed and spoken up about.

    And don't get me wrong, even though I am angry and frustrated with a lot of things and people,

    I still think healthcare, food, shelter, water, education, healthcare should be provided to you, bottom line. Even if you wouldn't want that for your current self if you were a different person with the same mindset

    communism wouldn't be the only descriptor of a society, it's just one aspect of it, just as all those countries u mentioned have different ways of running their society, just like nobodies been 100% capitalist because it doesn't account for/take care of everyone

    That's not true. A public place would not bring together so many different people with different views and from different cultures.

    If you are really about it, you have to accept many of the aspects of life in which we live now would not be in as we know them without capitalism. The Internet would not work as we know it without capitalism and funding from private companies.
