Why do many of you try so hard to defend a system that's been oppressing you and only benefiting the 1% of the world?

>This isn't whataboutism
so what system, better than capitalism, do you purpose?

I would unironically feed an orphan into a meat grinder every single day with my own two hands than lose an iota of the first world western comfort I enjoy today. If you don't like it start a revolution, but you won't.

>i dont want some unemployable loser student with weird haircolor to centrally plan my work and life

those are not real communists, we all know they would be first to go if the working class decided to take up arms.

do you benefit? Aren't 40 million americans living in poverty and 70% living paycheck to paycheck?

*propose

I know your brain is to small to understand that but a system on 8billion people that only causes 20 million casualties is 99.9975% efficient and that's pretty good and if you look lifexpectancy almost doubled since the beginning of industrialization, child mortality dissapeared etc...

>There can only be Capitalism or Communism
Retard

so at least we agree you cant have communism in developed world

capitalism perfectly allow you to own your means or production
you can just start a corporation and own 100% of your labor
you can even start a corporation where all the workers are executive board members and all the workers own equal shares

the problem isnt capitalism, the problem is people who complain about it, they have no marketable skills, they are useless and this is why they are poor, no one is stealing from the poor, the poor are simply unproductive and stupid

that's my take

Dumb fucking commie.

Communism punishes success and rewards laziness.
It causes mass famines and creates abject poverty at an unprecedented scale.

Men are not equal.
Not in ability, strength, industriousness, grit, discipline, intelligence, courage, virtue, creativity, or any other personal trait.
Communism is built on a lie.

>Compared to those that were less free, countries with higher economic freedom ratings during 1980–2005 had lower rates of both extreme and moderate poverty in 2005. More importantly, countries with higher levels of economic freedom in 1980 and larger increases in economic freedom during the 1980s and 1990s achieved larger poverty rate reductions than economies that were less free. These relationships were true even after adjustment for geographic and locational factors and foreign assistance as a share of income. The positive relations between the level and change in economic freedom and reductions in poverty were both statistically significant and robust across alternative specifications.

>Your country was starving before communism.
You know nothing about my country lmao
>You also suffer from brain drain due to capitalism
Brain drain should've occurred in communism as well as in capitalism. It happens because certain jobs are evaluated differently across countries and that gives rise to wage differences which incentivize people to move abroad. It didn't happen because Eastern Bloc communists weren't really communists in a Marxist sense, they were national socialists if anything else

I do materially benefit from it. Firsties are net beneficiaries of exploitation. American capitalism is failing, yes, but this leads to a rise in fascist consciousness at worst and some sort of social-democratic reformism at best in the U.S. working class, not communist. Why? Because our standards of living, although decreasing, are built on the foundation of exploitation.
Also keep in mind that what's considered poverty in the U.S. is still a much better life than poverty in most other countries. Minimum wage here still lands you in the top 13.8% compared to the rest of the world.

Why are Communists so retarded? Do they legitimately have brain damage?

I don't think it's impossible, just that if communism were to win out in the end then the first world countries would be the last to go.

Nothing can replace it unless monetary value is destroyed. Then a form of Marxism would work along ethnic lines, where colonial borders are redrawn everywhere

>they are useless and this is why they are poor, no one is stealing from the poor, the poor are simply unproductive and stupid

Would you agree that people who tend to be more successful more often or not have an environmental advantage compared to people who have been poor for generations? Why try when the game is rigged? I'm not rooting for lazy people (they are a waste of human life) but it's demoralizing when your told to keep trying and you keep failing

>our standards of living... are built on the foundation of exploitation
No they're not. You're just stupid and don't understand how trade works.

Because I'm the 1%

What difference does it make if the advantage is environmental or genetic?
>Why try when the game is rigged? I'm not rooting for lazy people (they are a waste of human life) but it's demoralizing when your told to keep trying and you keep failing
If you want to be rewarded, try creating something of value for society that people are willing to pay for instead of being a lazy dumb commie sack of shit.

Did you know people in China and Vietnam get free Healthcare, education, food, and universal basic income. People don't have to work if they don't want to.

true its not a perfect meritocracy out there but it is pretty meritocratic
most of the fortune 500 was started by a worker in his garage, most of old money becomes lazy and incompetent over time and loses the market share

if capitalist government is fair and its not crony capitalism, market is fair and competitive

ever considered that maybe not all people are equally productive? its just a thought, just something to think about it
maybe not all people in the world and also not all individuals in the world are equally productive

maybe productivity inequality is the result of wealth inequality, and not whatever isms

Communism was one of the reason your country was destroyed? Why are you shilling for it?
