Communism is no longer a force in the world. China has a market economy and has since the 80s. There is no major communist country left.
And all the problems with globohomo are capitalism problems. Corporations are pushing this stuff. Neoliberal economics is the order of the day. Are you saying corporations and neoliberal economics are communist?
>market economy
So communism?
You're saying market economies are communist?
I think it's just boomer nostalgia.
Communism isn't just about economics, it's about culture too.
The first thing any communist regime does is strip the people of their culture and prosecute any that don't worship the state. It's called (((Cultural Marxism))) and it's effects are observable in the US today.
>knowing communism is retarded and wanting to avoid it is being "afraid" of it
liberal fucking logic, everyone
Yes. Both open and closed markets are controlled by the same coin. Communism is a tool to close a market. You can't have global open markets. You need closed markets to keep the value of open market up.
Marxism is the real enemy.
This is BS. Cultural Marxism isn't a thing.
People don't worship the state under communism they fear it.
Supporting the state is a different thing.
What's so bad about Marxism?
Fascism and Nazism died 70 years ago. Yet, the left can't shut their dilating holes about it.
It doesn't work. It's purpose to restrict an economy. It's hard to control people if you don't have a bogeyman communist to worry about.
Because they read history?
My point is communism is dead. Why do you fear a corpse?
>Cultural Marxism isn't a thing.
Further debate is no longer required. Minimum IQ requirements have not been met
It's neoliberal economic globalists pushing this cultural craziness, including all the big corporations and Western capitalist powers. So this "cultural Marxism" you speak of is actually "cultural capitalism," it would seem.
pssst...Jewish gangsters highjacked "Capitalism"...."Communism" is the ideaology used to distract from this fact.
Why is the left so afraid of fascism? True fascism has never been tried before.
That just sounds like some half baked pet idea of yours, not like any standard critique of markets.
Culture Marxism is libertarianism for progressives. It's an agenda with no real political background. There is no specification defining cultural Marxism. People make it all up as they go along.
How the elite gain power does not matter, they are still subverting culture. You're devolving the arguments into semantics and pilpul. Cultural Marxism is not strictly connected to communism. They don't care how what means they produce the effect, they do what ever they can to gain the upper hand. CULTURAL Marxism can be practiced under an economical communist OR capitalist state.
Who provided the Soviets and Chinese with access to the open market?
>Culture Marxism is libertarianism for progressives
That sounds about right. It appeals to those who want right-wing economic policies like free markets, welfare cuts, and outsourcing, yet who also want left-wing social mores.
