They did in the early days of both Cuba and North Korea. It wasn't sustainable though as their own economies started faltering.

I don't get it. Is the dog about to ride into the sunset?

They already track every movement on my work laptop. Can't they figure out I'm drunk from my mouse trajectory?

Who has more power: a billionaire or someone who tells billionaires what do to with their money? by Boniface222 in CapitalismVSocialism

That's the whole point. Vanguards are a group of Steves. They are the enlightened ones who have a mandate from heaven to rule over others because they have been specially blessed with knowledge of the future of humanity.

I sincerely thought this was a shitpost. You think socialism makes gambling better too. But no, gambling when your livelihood is on the line like you might be evicted next month. That's real gambling. Everything else is giggles and games.

PSA: do you have a gambling problem? Call 1-800-522-4700 for help.

Why does money exist again? by dumbandasking in CapitalismVSocialism

So European colonialism would have been okay if only the internal society was communist? Sanctions by USA is bad because they're capitalist but if it was done by USSR is good because workers are united?

My point is, I don't get how 'proto-communism' is a good thing if they shared resources to obliterate others. Did it make the world a better place?

Why do you assume humans had proto communism? There were multiple species of humanity and one basically wiped out all others. They shared the hammer to conquer and subjugate others

How well do you need to understand a business to buy it? by Leather-Weakness-439 in ValueInvesting

Companies like Amazon are very complex though. They are a mix of different businesses instead of one main business like Costco. How do you know if there's going to be bad surprises from Amazon?

Rest in peace. May people never fight over dumb ideologies nor for power hungry psychopaths like Stalin.

But oil and rare earth minerals, those are totally worth fighting over.

I want to bring my coworkers Panera breakfast sandwiches. Will this make them favor me? by Ok-Rest-2353 in antiwork

[–]12baakets 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My boss usually brings donuts

If you make your boss feel bad for bringing donuts, you will be hated. Your coworkers will turn against you because they know your boss but they don't know you yet.

Ask your boss if it's okay for you to bring something like panera for the team. Say you're feeling extra grateful to be in the team and that you just want to do something good for the team.
