Praising Communism While Enjoying All the Benefits of Living Under Capitalism

socialism groupies are all the same, hiding in their safe little bubbles of ignorance, talking about how great socialism is by using examples of countries that aren't even socialist; and when you reply with actual examples of socialism, they retort with idiotic nonsense like "oh, but but, that's not how socialism is supposed to work..."

That's the lesson they can't seem to grasp, it doesn't, never has, and never will work the way they expect it to work; and it exists because gullible, naive, idiots like them welcome it with open arms (then complain later that what they were sold wasn't what was advertised, what a shocker...)

Tyrants like Hitler, Stalin, Mussolini, etc. didn't just magically rise to power on their own accord, they got there with help from socialist wannabee idiots...

Not all nationalism leads to fascism (wanting to make America great again doesn't make you a nazi), on the other hand, all socialism leads to communism; regardless of how a country gets there, or what their political parties call themselves, the end result is always the same... corrupt tyrannical dictators & a society full of shared misery.

Have you actually encountered someone "praising communism"? It seems to me that when someone here suggests ways in which capitalism could be made more efficient or responsive to the needs of society (ie. improved rather than abolished) they find themselves labelled a "communist". Capitalism relies upon liberal democracy and a plurality of opinions in order to remain dynamic and effective.

Exactly! Just leave already

There’s no perfect political system. Capitalism is an excuse for billionaires and corporations to squeeze ordinary people even more. Communism is an excuse for state oppression.

Yeah that'll show em

I think a lot of people who are for those ideas just in heart of hearts want things to be better, or see the inherent flaws of the current system. I'm personally in favour of a balance between capitalism and socialism as I think it needs an element of collective accountability.

For example no one person should be a billionaire while entire areas of a country are poor. To be a society we have to think and act like one to a degree. No company should extort and profit from everyday people in a crisis (eg. Energy companies and oil). What good are our societies if we structurally allow such things to happen?.

It’s ok to hold different views in a democracy. That’s a basic democratic right and as long as it doesn’t cross into illegality, people should not feel under pressure or compelled to leave!

I strongly share your sentiments, on the condition it actually is communism and not just socially progressive policy that some people call communism, to save themselves from actually thinking about it in any depth.

True, and I think the ones complaining about Capitalisms, don't understand Capitalism in its truest form and Capitalism works in its truest form. In True Capitalism, corporations, as well as citizens, all pay their fair share of taxes and the Government does not give preference to one or the other.
America's economic system isn't broken, America's Government is broken. IMHO, of course.

Couldn’t agree more. I spent plenty of time overseas I’m the military in crappy 3rd world countries and even “modern Western European” countries. No one has the standard of living and freedoms we have. The pot in our country mostly have 1st world probs.

It's impossible for capitalism to exist without exploitation.

{@cassie2083] it is called freedom of expression as you have yours

Americans need billionaires to run them, of course.
Community control of the economy is communist. You need oligarchy.
The American people really can't handle democracy - you need a firm hand and direction from your boss. You can not be involved in decisions about what you will do. Just get busy. We'll direct you.

Cuba is nice

That's what I typically say to those people who praise communism. I offer them the chance to take a one year trip to Venezuela
I wonder how quickly they would change their tune after living through it

Some folk have no option but to live under capitalism. Doesn't mean they can't praise another societal system..

For the same reason some white Americans who whine about the injustice of "stolen land" don't sell their stuff and go back to Europe 🤪

Well, I'd live on Mans but Elon Musk owns a lot of that too.

Damn straight.

All those Americans openly who disagree with Joe Biden should also keep their mouths shut and move to Hungary.

Capitalism, socialism, communism it makes little it no difference. We have corrupt business leaders and politicians in capitalist countries, corrupt tyrannical leaders in communist countries.
The problem with them all is the greed of those in control.

Nobody is praising communism. What is so bad is not capitalism. It is crooked politicians screwing up the country in the name of capitalism.

They are liars and hypocrites

i see that now and those who do that are extremely fucked in the head. they should be deported to those communist countries.
