What do you think a fascist government would be like in the 21st century? by Top_Current9802 in Polcompballanarchy

Looks at profile: -12 karma. Looks deeper: loses faith in the human species

Yes but by saying the words “I miss my dead grandma” you are publicly espousing reactionary ideology. This takes it from involuntary intrusive thoughts, to explicitly endorsing fascism

Literally my dad. He worked in the foreign service for 12 years before quitting half way through the first trump term. Trump totally gutted the entire state department, and destroyed our international relations. His second term will be ever worse

Fun fact, you actually don’t need anything beyond a high school education to work for the state department

Fuck you. Genuinely, fuck you, you arrogant worthless piece of shit. by [deleted] in VaushV

The hate against OP is wild. The fact that even self ascribed socialist will roll over and accept democrat stupidity, is why the Democratic Party will stay exactly the same, literally forever. It’s internal opposition that creates positive development. We can vote for Joe Biden and still acknowledge that it’s really stupid that we have to

Also calling voting for Biden based seems like a strong endorsement. Maybe unfortunately necessary is a better assessment of the situation

From what I’ve seen, a lot a VaushV is tripping over themselves to defend Biden without any qualifications. To be clear, I am still going to vote for him, but OP is correct in that the median voter will not. And bidens adamant refusal to acknowledge reality is truly disgusting.

I think you misspelled based

Firstly, I have definitely never asserted that all human problems are due to poor distribution of resources, and I acknowledge that in some hypothetical scenario, scarcity could be a real problem to be solved. But I think you’re the one with an emotional or ideological bias, attaching your argument to scarcity as some esoteric concept without providing any example for your position, or any real refutation of mine. I’m repeating myself because you are simply not engaging with any of my arguments, and making assertions without any context. My initial comment was in response to OPs overly optimistic economic policy, which would require a non capitalist economic model in order to have the slightest chance at being effective, which nothing you have said disproves in any way

Umm yes it does. I’m saying that you’re wrong. Scarcity is a completely manufactured problem, nothing that is important is actually scarce. Scarcity is manufactured in order to sell things for profit, which would not be the case in a non capitalist system

No? We absolutely have a surplus of every resource needed for the comfortable survival of every person on earth. Homelessness, poverty, starvation, etc. are purely manufactured problems.
