if they are talking about wartime of course communism is OP, every country is communist during wartime. the US government went deep into debt and told ford to make tanks and planes instead of cars during ww2, that's effectively communism through different steps.
the problem is you can't keep doing it forever like the USSR. imagine being in a permanent war economy for 40 years. no wonder they collapsed.

This is an absolutely ancient version wherein this isn't the case anymore. It's now a meme RPing ideology like the Luddite one or Nazism.

Disposable income by definition is Capitalism.
>>
>>725972629
It also doesn't account for human error.
Communism is theoretically good, completely in an isolated authoritarian bubble it will work, life won't be good but it'll make the state stronger.
But it won't be competitive in the real world because humans are corrupt, communism breeds corruption. Unless they programmed corruption at every level, it's always going to be OP for state building.

By the time you can actually implement communism or fascism you've spent 70-80 years building a super profitable democracy, why would you throw that out?

Real communism will NEVER be possible. It's basically incompatible with the human way of thinking, Its very foundations are horribly flawed.

Any attempt to bring it to reality will only cause death and destruction on disgusting scales. It's nothing but a repulsive disease that destroys the mind.

It should have been destroyed when we had the chance in 1945. If Oppenheimer hadn't been a pussy and helped Truman blast Moscow to bits, the world would be a better place, and there'd be far less illegal aliens.

There were hundreds of points during or after ww2 where communism could've been eradicated, but obviously none of them were taken. This is because the same people in charge of the US and UK governments wanted communism to stay around, peace is bad for business and control after all. They needed a paper tiger to point at and justify why they needed to raise taxes and take away liberties. It is for this same reason that they smuggled the blueprints for the nuclear weapons to the soviet regime.

Modeling a fully realistic economy is actually really, really hard. I think history has firmly established that free markets are useful tools that are an important part of any functioning society.

That said, history (particularly the last several decades) has also established that free markets are not perfect tools and can have issues. Regarding redistribution, very few people will actually advocate for a gini coefficient of 0... but judging by the ridiculous growth of the top few percent while every other class has stagnated (and in some ways regressed), a touch more redistribution might not be so bad right now.

Wage growth in the lowest and 2nd lowest class grew faster than high income earners the last 3 years. If anyone has the right to complain about stagnant wages it's MBA middle managers who didn't see the explosive growth like McDonald's workers getting upwards of $16 an hour now are seeing.

communism 'works' but its hell on earth. i know the average /v/irgin retard has never been to the DMV because theyre a shut-in manchild, but the reason why the DMV is so shit is because it is government run and there is no capital driven competition. now imagine that for everything. supermarkets, universities, technology, EVERYTHING. if you dont mind everything being slow, gray, and nauseatingly mediocre, communism is great i suppose
>>
the reason it works in victoria 3 is the player is a benevolent god-spirit zeitgeist of the nation whereas in real life communism always arises post-revolution in dictatorial shitholes (not because communism necessarily inherently requires dictatorship, but rather because shitholes that then go through violent civil wars unsurprisingly remain shitholes).

the victoria 3 "communism" is actually liberal market socialism arrived at (usually) through a process of careful and gradual social reform and yes, if this happened in real life it would probably in fact result in a based society.

just like how absolute fascist totalitarianism is also a much more viable strategy in videogames than it is real life because they are alt-history videogames where the player is god.

also in victoria 3 communism is an economic system only - communism in vicky 3 is actually just a law that mandates every company must be structured as a worker co-op, i.e. profits are paid out to the workers instead of the owners (or, rather, workers ARE the owners). the communism of vicky 3 does not imply a system of government and you can be a liberal communist country or a fascist ethnostate communist country or whatever.

real life is actually exactly the same, btw. we could pass a law tomorrow mandating that all companies must issue 1 share to each worker and only to workers and annul all other shares. doing that doesn't mean we have to change how elections are run. bam - communist democracy.

>illusion of healthcare where you die in the ER
and how many times has this happened in canada in the last 10 years, versus how many people have gone through a canadian ER?

i work in public healthcare in my country (australia) so i am the last person to tell you that it's perfect or even very good. but there is no alternative. private systems do not meet the national interest - at best they can take some load off the public system by letting people with money spend stupid amounts to have faster care in more comfortable surroundings. but i see plenty of people with good private healthcare ending up in public hospitals because they have diseases that aren't profitable to treat. public hospitals are bigger and better equipped than private hospitals because we don't get to choose our patients - if you are seriously ill, you will end up in a public hospital no matter how good your healthcare is because private hospitals are only interested in your dollars, not your life.

my question is: what makes you think it's possible to have good public services? what makes you think that their shittiness and inefficiency isn't just baked into the nature of public service? why do you expect public healthcare to be good in the first place? public services employ mediocre people in low pressure jobs and are mostly concerned with keeping on with keeping on. of course they're going to be mediocre organisations. that's just how things are. but there is no alternative. it's how things have to be.

Not going to waste my time reading the rest. I could already tell you didn't live in Canada based off your previous posts. Imagine your doctor telling you you won't be getting an important scan or treatment because the hospital doesn't have the equipment for it, and this is after you paid a substantial portion of your wage in taxes to support this garbage. That's the state of healthcare in this shithole. Keep defending a broken system of a country you don't live in to own the chuds, I'm sure the thousands of people who died because of it appreciate it

you have a much more reasonable view than i assumed, so fair enough, and i take your point. my point is just that public services are always going to be shit, and yet some services have to be public because that's the only way that people can get what they need or that the national interest can be met. the point is that we have to accept inefficiency in the public service - chasing private sector levels of efficiency requires private sector methods, which destroys the point of having the public service in the first place.

when i buy a couch for my living room i don't buy it with the intent of making money on it. i buy it to have a couch to sit on. public services are the same. the point of having them is to have them, not to make profits or be innovative or whatever private sector bullshit. but i digress.

>yes. and with communism, thats everywhere. that was my main point. everything is dull and gray and gross
on this note i remember reading an account of a defector who said pretty much that, that the West was so much more colourful than the USSR because of all the advertising. in the USSR there was no advertising so public spaces that weren't parks or whatever were just unadorned. in the west there's always bright colourful advertising everywhere. which is kind of neat, as well as being kind of gross. anyway, you're literally correct that in communism everything was literally dull and grey.

It's almost like communism is a jewish ideology meant to destabilize opposing empires.
Little fun fact, before the bolshevik revolution, the Romanovs invested their gold heavily into the federal reserve, amounting to 90% of its capital, in return for permanent dividends that would massively boost the Russian economy in the long run. Shortly after the bolshevik revolution happened and the Romanov family was murdered. The soviet regime that followed denied all claims to Russian debt which included the dividends for the Romanov gold, meaning the rothschild owned federal reserve got to keep all of the gold for free.
Another little fun fact, when the soviet regime fell, the archive that held the copy of this deal burned down. What a coincidence.

The first communist nation was created to abolish a debt.

i don't bother googling deliberately sabotaged programs with 30 page application forms. instead i just look at the data on how many people need healthcare versus how many people get it. i measure outcomes, not ideas, because i am suspicious that people who try to hide the facts and figures by vaguely gesturing to "muh programs" are trying to hide something from me.

american healthcare access outcomes are very, very bad. if you have programs, they don't work. simple as.

>poor families receive free healthcare in the united states.
Ehh kinda. There's a patchwork of medicaid, medicare, and ACA plans, and hospitals have to treat injuries at the ER. But for a lot of Americans they either don't have coverage, or they have it but it's really expensive. America acatually spends the most on healthcare per capita but has a life expectancy 3-4 years lower than the OECD average, which I think can ultimately be blamed on 2 core inefficiencies:
1) Americans don't get as much preventative care (e.g. checkups and treatments for small issues) due to cost. This results in larger, more expensive health problems down the line (treatments at the ER being particularly expensive).
2) Insurance companies are an unnecessary middleman taking a fat cut.

Close. I generally agree, but its not that they enable it, they require it. Because to enable a authoritarian takeover, you need a strong core with support from the army, and if you can't keep those people happy, you will be disposed off just as the previous government did. So now your goal is not to implement communism or whatever, but to keep whoever got you into power satisfied with their new status.

It's one factor, but not enough to hand-wave away the problems with US healthcare.

>>725982010
Yes, there are multiple factors that contribute to mortality rates. Low healthcare access is one of several issues. The biggest condemnation of the US system here is that the US is paying WAY MORE but receiving healthcare that is not, in fact, any better. Life expectancy is an off-the-cuff metric but does have confounding variables. More direct studies of quality of care aren't favorable for the US system.

https://www.healthsystemtracker.org/chart-collection/quality-u-s-healthcare-system-compare-countries/
>Despite spending nearly twice as much per capita on healthcare compared to similarly large and wealthy nations, the United States has a lower life expectancy than peer nations and the gap has grown for some measures since the COVID-19 pandemic.
>Generally, the U.S. performs worse in long-term health outcomes measures (such as life expectancy), certain treatment outcomes (such as maternal mortality and congestive heart failure hospital admissions), some patient safety measures (such as obstetric trauma with instrument), and health system capacity (such as rate of general practitioners). The U.S. performs similarly to or better than peer nations in other measures of treatment outcomes (such as mortality rates within 30 days of acute hospital treatment) and some patient safety measures (such as post-operative complications).

Communism, or more accurately Marxist-Leninism, failed because there is no incentive to actually improve production instead of just meeting quotas, and because real economies are extremely complex and difficult to run though central planning. Most Warsaw pact countries invested way too much in heavy industry, for example, and the USSR had a longstanding issue of overproducing capital goods. In any case, they never succeeded in implementing a socialist economy, since the workers did not own the means of production. .

There is a fundamental truth to humanity. No matter how well the system is set up, no matter how many benefits for the whole and for the individual there are. As long as there are positions of power, someone, somehow, will obtain it through unscrupulous means, and then use it for an unscrupulous purpose.
it doesn't matter how many defenses, limitations, thoughtful guidelines you create and put in place. Someone will always find a way to ruin it for their own benefit to the complete detriment of everyone else.

The reason communism can't work in real is due to this. The reason capitalism has reached the state we are in now is due to this. The reason any system will eventually be tainted before it can reach it's true potential. Humanity is simply flawed in this way.
Not to say everything is hopeless, people can still manage an individual happiness, but fundamentally no amount of wishful thinking will ever overcome this truth
Anyone who denies this is both woefully naive and has never read their history.

That’s not human nature you fucking mongoloid, that’s due to the complexity of inputs in producing almost any product.

Neither of those things are related to some inherent psychological quality of humanity. “Communism would succeed if humans weren’t selfish” is a retarded argument because both these problems would exist even if every person was Christ like.

This. There is no alternative system that gives the majority of the population an advantage. You are either willing to toss aside your morality for money/power, or you are not. Even if you are a corrupt asshole, you still need a shit ton of luck to amass power. That is why you hate your boss, because he had to set aside his morality to get to where he is now.

Is it immoral to screw over other people if you don't identify with them? Suppose a group of such people, they can be Jews. Brahmin, or just rich white people, think that everyone else is livestock who only exist to be slaughtered for the benefit of "real" people. Is it immoral to act on this belief that most of us are basically on the level of chickens, pigs and cows?

They rightfully call out capitalists for commodifying and watering down culture, while their end goal is literally to just to kill and replace the existing ruling class and denounce the things that capitalism has already ruined as fake and or reactionary/counterevolutionary wrongthink.

Both economic systems end in oligarchies. In capitalism it’s rule by merchants, in communism it’s rule by the resentful loser fuckup children of merchants who couldn’t be trusted with stewarding the family fortune. Hence why they always mismanage food and industry then chimp out and slaughter their people en masse when they get criticized for it

How would you like to be treated? It is what you learn in kindergarten, isn't it? What you are describing is culture which is different across multiple civilizations and takes many forums. Culture is shaped by the powerful and they make the rules. People just follow and take how they were raised as law figuratively and literally. When two different civilizations meet, they will have disagreements because the powers at be have different views. But those views always come at the expense of the population. People become numb to think that they could contribute so much more to society as they get beat down and get treated poorly. But they accept it, because that is just how it is.

Human greed isn't a random factor, is the key equation that breaks every single system. And im not even talking about the 1%. This is greed that applies to every part of the pyramid.

and in truth, all of the evils they speak of as belonging to capitalism will exist under communism.
Usually in a worse form as well.

>>725989540
>describe this "system" then.
Not easy to do simply.

At the base Capitalism "private ownership of the means of production." I would further expand that to logical secondary organization from that. Such as a Stock Market and the existence of the financial system, i.e. the concept of mentally dividing a factory or business into subdividable parts that can then be bought, sold, and traded by non-involved third parties - "I'll have 150 out of 1,000 of the people building iphones please."

What's a means of production and why would it matter? A factory basically. Try to look around you and imagine anything that would be made by automation (needs a factory) has a number above it, while anything totally free and natural or made with personal singular labor not. Basically everything should have a number but your own skin and any artisanal Japanese bowls you might have. Just like "the Spice is life" in Dune, he who controls the widget production controls most of your life and how you interact with it.

Where did it come from? When the industrial revolution happened, upturinging all centuries old social order not coincidentally, inventing the concept of a "factory" that would eventually destroy all artisanal feudal style labor, society basically faced a choice. Who controls these power-looms and who benefits? It shook out that "to the strongest," whomever was able get these automated machines had near total power with almost no social responsibility. Their only limitation is they can't use violence and are left to trade tons of linen with other people that own other machines. That's Capitalism.

It all has huge knockon effects over lifetimes. The aristocracy and the Church (meaningfully) were disintegrated. No one is a thatcher or smith by birth and training anymore. No guilds. The only role in life now is money. The only way normies can get money is to sell themselves (their labor) to owners of capital.

you are now aware that USA is a socialist hellhole compared to China where rich have to support the poor compared to glorious China where there is no income tax, no property tax and more importantly close to no state social security that requires robbing business owners.

'communism' aka marxism says its an historical inevitibility? So if that's the case why does an historical inevitibility need you shilling for it. Communist China hangs up pictures of a 19th century prussian bum called karl marx beside a man called mao who starved tens of millions to death and destroyed much of the chinese peoples heritage 'for communism', Fuck off.

This just reads like schizo shit to me (though I'm a little schizo myself) and I shouldn't reply.

But I do want to say ownership and its various ways to do it with society is all very real. And you can see a modern just happening example with AI. Which is analogous to the early industrial revolution and the birth of true Capitalism.

You can have private ownership of the means of AI, e.g. OpenAI's chatGPT, Elon's Grok, Google's Gemini. You can in contrast have personal/more socialist ownership with your own localized AI a la Stable Diffusion. With corpo AI they decide what your allowed to do "no nudity! No mean words about minorities! No taboo political thought about da joos."

Also mirroring the historical Enclosure movement and the shutdown of traditional commons by industrial Capitalism in Britain, the private ownership of the means of AI sucked up free communal data on the Internet, then tried to lock it off. Then data troves like Reddit or Twitter became closed off and jealousy monetized, where before things were free and proto-socialist. This is commodification and mirrors what happened in the early 1800s. You get big winners and a lot of losers.

As AI will grow it will consume more aspects of your old life, and those elites who control the means of AI will, openAI or whatever, will have increasing control over life. In a world where movies are made with AI who gets a say in what your allowed to do and who gets a cut? Or you could just have worker ownership of AI and totally free IP.

This is a difference between private ownership of a means of production, and just technology.

what made you idiots think I am a communist?
communism cannot be the opposite of capitalism because capitalism is not a system and barely qualifies as an ideology.

"true capitalism" isn't capitalism.
is corporatism, which is more akin to another, softer form of feudalism where once again you have the main government lording over smaller groups that have a lot of autonomy so long as they pay their taxes.

Nah, bro just sayan that it's easier to get rich from business and keep your money without paying accountants in China compared to USA.
In Murica, rich have to resort to tricks to keep their money and pay less taxes while Chinese tax system is designed for that.
