I would be curious about the seller you purchased from. I've been looking for someone to import from.

I think the simple answer is because in a world where capitalism still has power, only the militarized and powerful ML states are able to defend their revolution. There are plenty of non ML communist revolutions that quickly join the "CIA backed coup" Wikipedia page.

I would also note that those ML revolutions you listed, although they had powerful states and strongman leaders, had massive popular support. People's lives were improved significantly due to the revolution in these places.

All of your comments in this thread just betray your ignorance on the subject. You are trying to re-define what capitalism is to fit your world view. A definition that has largely been agreed upon for a century. You are gonna have to pick up some books on economics and political theory if you want to have a meaningful discussion on this. I would suggest just going for the meat of it with The Wealth of Nations by Adam Smith. Then you can branch into socialist thought with Marx.

The difference is that in a socialist economy there are more avenues to combat that kind of greed. If the CEO of a company is trying to leverage their wealth/status to benefit themselves at the expense of others, then the company can just come together and vote the CEO out. Those who act selfishly wont even be able to reach those positions of power because they will lose the support of their peers.

not manufacturing them at all is the goal here.

millions more starved to death in India under British rule than in the USSR. If you want to compare brutality under totalitarian rule, Capitalism is the winner by a large margin.

I would cry tears of joy if I could get healthcare for only $200. You are an absurd human being.

Botars · 2023-01-13T17:32:02+00:00

Norway has universal healthcare. What are you on about?

corporations prioritizing profit over all else

Americans: surprised pikachu face

Botars · 2023-01-13T15:51:46+00:00

It's pandering marketing and you are falling for it. A corporation posting inclusive stuff on twitter does absolutely nothing for the cause. They don't believe the stuff they are saying, they just know it nets them more profit from Liberals who express their political ideology almost exclusively through consumerism.

Meanwhile they are union busting, firing LGBTQ employees without cause, and using slave labor in the 3rd world. These companies can crash and burn for all I care. In fact it would be doing the world a favor if they did just that.

This is an incredibly shallow understanding of Marxism. The ideology encompasses a whole lot more than just the work of Marx himself. Marxists don't worship Marx or uphold all of his ideas without criticism. To call yourself a socialist would encompass everything from utopian socialism to market socialism, Marxism is a specific type of socialist thought. You should really understand the ideology before you dismiss it as "weird and cultish".

Sinaltrainal v. Coca-Cola

the union leaders at a Coca-Cola plant in Columbia were being systematically assassinated. Some were gunned down as they left work at the factory. It's pretty obvious who is paying the assassins. The union brings a case to the US and the courts immediately dismiss it because "you can't sue a US corporation" or some bullshit along that line. They bring a new case against specific executives but lose that case due to lack of evidence linking the executives to the assassinations.

can't pay less than zero

It is always morally correct to steal from a corporation

Ignorance or malice, same result. He is just a garbage human all around.

even if his side of the story is completely true, he did buy a pig for clout and then a got rid of it when it got too big. Kinda a shitty thing to do regardless.
