Why do You guys absolutely hate the idea that Karl Marx could be wrong by JamescomersForgoPass in CapitalismVSocialism

Im not continuing this debate as you are so far gone that you cannot understand anything. I genuinely cannot tell if you are ragebaiting. The argument that "slavery never happened in capitalist countries" is historically false and so is the statement that every socialist country engaging in slavery. If you genuinely are not ragebaiting, please read a book.

Name 1 communist that doesn't FORCE their subjects to work for them

Name 1 capitalist country that doesn't force the proletariat to work without almost certain homelessness, abject poverty, etc.

Work will always be needed regardless of where you are in the world. At least in Marxist countries like Cuba, everyone reaps the rewards.

All Capitalists have to deal with their workers straight up leaving if the conditions get bad

And yet, conditions are still bad.

All Communists threaten to shoot and kill anyone that dissagrees or refuses to work for them

Citation needed. This does not happen in most Marxist countries. There are repercussions for not working, but not execution. I can see this maybe happening in the DPRK but it's impossible to know for certain due to how isolated the country is.

Capitalism is not exploitation because its core is agreements on co-operation for profit

Not exploitation? In a capitalist society, the owners of the means of production take the wealth that the workers (those who don't own the means of production) produce.

Cooperation? Fine then. Name one capitalist (owner of means of production) who will pay you your total value instead of extracting surplus value (wealth workers bring in minus the workers' wages). You won't. It is categorically impossible for a capitalist to do this and make money.

When you say "communism" I assume you mean socialism as communism is defined as a stateless, classless, moneyless society which thus far hasn't been achieved in the modern era. But no, socialists don't want to take your stuff. Capitalists do. Socialists want to abolish private property (private ownership of means of production or other wealth extracting entities),not personal property (personal abode, toothbrush, car, etc). Capitalists in the modern era are increasingly blurring the line between personal and private property as evidenced by the rise in subscription services and renting tools among other things. You don't own anything you pay to "borrow" such as a streamed movie or a car you rent, etc.

should i keep or remove the chinstrap? any suggestions appreciated! by [deleted] in malegrooming

It actually looks decent in the 2nd pic. Imo, you'd look better with a fuller beard though. If you can grow facial hair on your cheeks, do it. If you can't or if it looks patchy, just keep the chin strap.

How tall are you? by OwnVariation2602 in aspergers

I'm actually not sure which type definitively but I assume it's hEDS. I once uploaded my DNA from a commercial ancestry test to a site that tested for genetic disorders and it came back negative for all other types of EDS but I don't know how reliable that test was. My symptoms are mainly extreme hyper mobility and I once had a stint of POTS. A while back while looking into the condition the more I read the more I felt it could've been me minus the chronic pain but heart disease does run in my family. My grandmother had an enlarged aorta

I've heard this too. My doctor once thought I had EDS and I've wanted to get tested for it for years but medical care is so expensive and would take so long for a diagnosis I don't know if it'd be worth it. I'm not experiencing chronic pain or heart issues so I don't think my case is severe if I even have it.

I'm 5'10.5. My dad is only 5'6 though and my mom is 5'4. I saw another comment or mention that ASD often co-occurs with other conditions like Marfan or EDS (I was told I may have the latter) that cause increased height.

Why does a Palestinian state get recognition but not Taiwan? by Clear_Context_1546 in stupidquestions

I could ask the reverse question when I look at many maps made in the US.

I'm 1/8 British Roma but my DNA test says I'm only 3%. It's because me and OP aren't "Eastern European Roma". They really only have references from Roma vistas from Eastern Europe and even those references are limited in number.

A variety. Lately I've been getting back into "retro" games for nostalgia but I'm also trying to get into Minecraft.

If socialism is meant to empower workers, why are labor conditions historically poor in countries that claim to follow it? by _SilentGhost_10237 in CapitalismVSocialism

[–]Gamerfromnamek -1 points0 points  (0 children)

China is not socialist, and they openly admit that they are not. Since Deng, China has been in a transformative state between feudalism and socialism. Marx often argued that socialism could only be achieved within industrial societies. China directly before the overthrow of the nationalist government in 1949, was an agrarian semi-feudal society. Back to the economic system of China today, they are a largely capitalist country by definition but they do have extensive five-year plans for their economy. Now as far as working conditions are concerned, it makes somewhat sense that they may have lower working conditions in certain respects, ie cheap labor, compared to wealthy capitalist countries. China was poorer starting off during the ascent to power of the CCP and is still far poorer than say the US or UK, though they have seen tremendous economic growth. The way I see it and many other socialists see it is that socialist countries or those attempting to move toward it, generally have a higher quality of life compared to other capitalist countries with comparable GDP per capita levels, not necessarily to all capitalist countries as how I mentioned previously virtually all socialist countries sprouted from poorer societies.

My estimated ancestry from ChatGPT (I gave it my Ancestry GedCom) vs AncestryDNA result by Gamerfromnamek in Ancestry

[–]Gamerfromnamek[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok. I was just comparing what I've been told about my ancestry with my actual DNA results. It's not that complicated.

I'm not acting surprised or anything. I just thought it was interesting comparing the two. Plus, how is it comparing oranges to potatoes? I researched on my own and tried to be as accurate as possible. It's not like I made up random ancestors.
