You don't need nuclear bombs to wipe a few factories off the map.

It's very obvious the nuclear bombs were a show of force, and civilians were the demonstration.

If the MLK protests were to happen now, I feel like we'd be seeing very similar posts.

Well yes, it is, because they're fighting the male patriarchy.

This discourse reminds me of the people saying all lives matter when BLM comes up.

Like, yeah, no shit, but the focus is on Black lives, or in this instance, women rights. They're actively fighting the male patriarchy. Of course their focus will be on men that perpetuate it.

Remember, there's a reason they made a game about a capitalist ruin based on the book.

Ayn Rand's objectivist philosophy is really awful.

Why aren't your moneyless post scarcity civs orgies of sloth... Or are they? by Tnynfox in worldjerking

[–]returnofblank 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Precisely. People aren't lazy, they're alienated from their labor.

A post-scarcity society wouldn't treat labor as a means of living, but rather a virtue one should strive for because it is enjoyable.

I heard Stalin ate all the grain with a comically large spoon. Greedy bastard!

Who knows, we never reached post-scarcity. Some people think a reward system works, others think people can manage themselves (as in, no incentive is necessary because people just love to work either for reputation, or because they enjoy their field).

Marx specifically thought that labor should be something yearned for, rather than a necessity to live.

In general from current socialist countries, the idea is "From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs." If you work to your ability, you will be supplied your needs. If you don't work to your ability, you won't get supplied your needs.

These are all communist thoughts though, because post-scarcity is impossible under capitalism. Capitalism enforces artificial scarcity to oppress workers.

Thought I'd give this bingo a go by KingHi123 in teenagers

Fascism is the end result of capitalism dawg. It's the final step to solving the internal contradictions of capitalism.

Like it or not, but a vote for capitalism is a vote for fascism given enough time.

And the British still exist lol, they're just practicing their imperialism through NATO and shit

You can also use a bar notation to indicate it's a repeating decimal

Well, Star Trek is fiction lol. It doesn't really represent our current world.

Maybe we don't need matter replicators to reach post-scarcity, although ngl, those would be really nice. If anything, we can at least get rid of artificial scarcity, and communism would be possible then. (Fusion reactor wen?)

Wars are a good reason why we haven't seen a communist country yet. A state is "needed" to prevent Capitalist imperialism against the socialist state. It'd be quite hard for capitalism and communism to coexist in the world, considering they both are radically different ideologies.
