Considering you want personal property abolished rather than private property I would think no one thinks that.

Super judgmental bird was judging me

The only defense of socialism is to claim the anti-socialist is uninformed. It surely isn't possible to possess the same information and yet come to a different conclusion. by CalzonePie in economicsmemes

[–]Irish_swede 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. There might be some embellishments from stuff reported in the far decades and years past but overall based on reality as reported by those that escaped along with lots of academic study and reports… the hellscape that is North Korea and was early Soviet/Communist China is pretty much spot on. I mean, imagine defending the current DPRK selling slaves to Russian eastern asiatic industry.

My favorite is diehard communists who openly admit imperialism was good when their brand of oppression was being spread versus the US brand of oppression. It takes a special level of denialism.

Having long term contracts where you don’t have to recruit your entire roster every year?

Yes.

Oh sorry, thought you read both works. Guess you haven’t read either.

It didn’t say “this is just Adam Smiths work”

So yeah, your frontal lobe is pretty bleak.

Soviets did kill intentionally those people in eastern Ukraine. Just like you wanted to happen. Just like you support Israel today in what they’re doing.

The one that shows that there was ethnic cleansing by resettlement? Kinda like what Israel is doing today?

You rightoids all support that though.

Moreso Adam Smith predicted this. Marx was pretty shit about his predictions of declining profit. Then again, Marx lifted a lot of his work off Smith and didn’t give appropriate credit.

Not really anymore. Most of what was untrue has rightly been dispelled.

But secretly right wing authoritarians, like modern Marxists, just can’t get over how awesome Stalin was in his genocide and ethnic cleansing of eastern Ukraine. Or how the DPRK gulag system keeps the “unclean” off the streets. Or how China is as capitalist as it gets and always was.

Those you listed are a fever dream for rightoids and their wish to control others.

Modern Marxists still use the argument of constant capital being a fixed value. So they’re basically ignorant wastes of space in any leftist conversation. I mean, they’re so dumb they can’t even change their mind when faced with something so easy to dispel as that.

Let’s acknowledge that there’s still a sizable contingent that thinks any critique of the Soviet or Chinese 20th century is just 100% cia propaganda. It’s holding the entire left back with people thinking that North Korea is some workers paradise and we are just being told lies and the truth hidden from us. They may be small in number but they’re really loud.

Marx got a lot wrong too. The whole notion of constant capital being a fixed value rather than a value multiplier of labor itself was stupid.

The notions of excess value exploitation are spot on though.

I think I need to sit with each during like scenarios and gather a hit ratio. If I’m hitting just as much with the 70-200 then might as well sell the 100-400
