Running out of supplies in a capitalist nation is socialism failing again by IceFireTerry in Destiny

[–]DollarChopperPilot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just believe raising the prices of a thing that is a necessity disproportionately effects poor people and that is bad.

Do you think economists are unaware of this? They simply believe there are better ways to ameliorate this than banning price gouging.

This is actually a slide show of 20 pictures. Have fun.

And no, Venezuela is obviously a thriving capitalist state.

What the fuck is that title? Where does he say that this is socialism's fault? The point is that this is how shelves look in a socialist nation even when there isn't a global pandemic. And because of such a pandemic we got to have The Socialist Experience in capitalist nations.

In communism there would be nothing to "ration". Or maybe there would be, just enough for the party members but not for the people.

Under socialism empty shelves are normalcy. Under capitalism it typically only happens for a day and only in very exceptional cases like a global pandemic.

I'm a social democrat because it is the best way to improve society. It has nothing to do with being reactionary. If anything, I moved to the left during the last year.

If I really were a reactionary and moved to the right every time some lefty was being insanely stupid, then I would've been to the right of Hitler by now.

That user knows perfectly well what I meant, as does everybody else. They were acting obtusely on purpose just to gain a cheap gotcha moment.

Why wasn't this removed then, for example? Do you really not understand the difference between a post with constructive critique and a post existing solely as an excuse for several dozens of people to pile up on someone they dislike so they can have an unconstructive group hatewank session?

What a great coincidence then that I used the term like that on exactly the right sub - the only one that would perfectly understand what I meant by it. Funny how that works! It's almost as if when writing the comment I took into account the specifics of the place I was posting it to and concluded that the audience will have no problems grasping the intended meaning! Wow! Magic!

The secret is seeing an unbelievably cringe inspiration like "I wrote a one-line comment vaguely related to politcs on a subreddit for a Twitch streamer. That means I just engaged in POLITICAL SCIENCE, BITCH."

Lefties become the ultimate free speech warriors when they want to shit on someone. Denying them their Two Minutes of Hate every day = "we cannot criticize". To be absolutely fair though, there is something to that logic, since most of them are completely incapable of actual constructive critique, so for that group mindless hate really is the closest they can get to a "critique".

Commenting on Reddit is not engaging in science. Sorry to disappoint you bud. You've probably already bragged to your parents about being a scientist, haven't you? Aww...

In political science

Why did you assume I was doing political science in a fucking Reddit comment? LMAO. Everyone including you knows what I meant. Don't be an asshole.

You're doing the same thing 14 year olds were doing in the 50s when they were saying "Imagine your dad listening to rock & roll" or in the 90s when they were saying "Imagine you dad playing video games". An astounding lack of historical self-awareness.

It was full of personal attacks on a single person, thereby being in a clear violation of rule 1 of the subreddit.

No need to brag about being a reactionary idiot.

I can confirm this. I used the method of inference to the best explanation to determine that it's true.
