    Remind me which major country was the least affected by the Great Depression. ☭

    Might be interesting to know, considering the direction the capitalist economy is taking now.

      I waited two weeks this time to post ragebait (been terribly busy with the farm,work and palworld 1.0). Still my favorite thing that people take a troll post in the shitpost community as a legitimate post and are willing to argue with me.

    Communism as practiced so far sucks, and maybe it can’t be done.

    Capitalism practiced perfectly sucks for everyone but the filthy rich, eventually. That eventuality happens to be upon us now.

      Cope and seethe. Classic line I’ve seen for literally every instance of historically implemented large scale communism.

          Almost like its an impossible to achieve strictly idealistic and illogical pursuit. Interesting how thousands of individual communes are able to exist and thrive within capitalist states though.

            Which is it? There can’t be a “classic line” for historically implemented large scale communism if large scale communism is impossible to implement. You’re contradicting yourself.

              Every time something is labeled communism it’s communism until atrocities happen. Then it wasn’t really implemented. Both of my statements are true. Pigs can fly if you throw them off a cliff. But pigs never had wings so they could never really fly. That’s because the initial statement is based on an impossibility centered around arbitrary vocabulary. Both statements are true.

                Nah, that’s nonsense word salad. Either large scale communism is impossible and thus has never been implemented, in which case the “classic line” is 100% true, or it is possible in which case your claim that it’s impossible is wrong.

                Either way you seem to have a pretty weak grasp of history and logic, so good luck out there 👍
