China keeps taxes low by investing directly in businesses instead of shelling out grants and tax breaks. It’s been incredibly effective.

In my opinion, it’s been a beautiful and cultural exchange.

China wants to keep Western propaganda away from their people because it’s capitalist swill. It’s within their best interest to open up Chinese propaganda to Western audiences though. It’s all about home field advantage.

When Khrushchev took power he had many of the documents from the Stalin and Lenin eras burned. Early Soviet history is essentially non existent and impossible to prove with what little is left. Most official documentation is destroyed. Lenin may have just liked using that quote when he read it elsewhere. We can have truly know.

Oh yeah, I forgot the other social media apps don’t collect data and spew propaganda. Oh wait… They do.

Because propaganda is effective.

I used to love that dude, too. I also used to go on Reddit though. Thankfully, I’ve outgrown both.

You should learn what communism actually is. It’ll probably help with your arguments in the future. Read a book.

Post scarcity socialism sure as shit sounds like Communism to me. In fact, one of the most important things when evolving from socialism to Communism is eliminating scarcity

It’s okay to believe in communism and still engage in capitalism because you’re living in a capitalist society. Obviously there’s only so much I can gleam without having known the guy myself. But, that being said, I’m a Communist and as a Communist, I know what Communist dog whistling sounds like and I know that, at the very least, season 1 on TNG is chock full of Communist dog whistling

Who told you Communism is when everything is owned by the state? Communism is when society becomes so technologically advanced and so abundant in resources that the state withers away and currency is no longer needed. So, you know, Star Trek. Also, his wife said he was a Communist

Crazy, because all of those countries have an awful history of human rights violations that was only stopped when they were forced to at gun point. Many of those countries have had recent human rights violations too. You’ve picked countries that’re currently struggling with racist and sexist tendencies actually. You should read some UN human rights violation reports before you make stupid claims.

Gene Roddenberry was a Communist and I miss the Communist ideals represented in his writing.

A reminder that the Nordic model of social democracy is still a capitalist society that puts profits ahead of people.

I cut a big hole in the back so I can shit through it though. Can’t stand the cold seat on my cheeks.

I’d be shitting in the neighbor’s toilet. It would probably be hard to explain why I’m in their apartment in my underwear.

It’s starting to sound like they should unionize

Well that’s not suspicious at all.

Chuck Schuldiner. Greatest death metal vocalist to ever live.

This comment section is full of morons. Socialism is when workers own and operate the means of production democratically. Read a book
