Why doesn’t communism work as an economic system?
Why doesn’t communism work as an economic system?
Turns out people don't like living under totalitarian dictatorships especially when their country can't even produce enough food for everyone
Cause jews.
Forcing people to be inspired to do labor on your behalf while sucking up all the resources for "the greater good" turns out to have a demoralizing and stagnating effect instead of magically working out
In other words, its absolute slavery and the government is the plantation
human are imperfect and so are their systems. So a system working only with perfect people can only failed even harder than other.
All economic systems eventually revert to the price system without constant intervention.
There is many reasons including but not limited to perverse incentives, economic calculation, centralization, and moral subjectivity
Turns out that if you take peoples liberty they're not happy about it, and if you make every single person have the same wealth level they're not happy about it cuz human mind is programed to always want more, and that's something you can't do in a commie system, imagine if the government take your right to invest your money whatever way you want to do it? like even if you can do it, the gov will take all your money from your portfolio of btc, eth, talk and any other assets and you won't see a single dime out of it
A small cadre of revolutionaries is going to acquire a monopoly on all economic, military, and political power, effectively command 100% of the country’s resources, and then, for no reason at all, will give it all up and retire to plow their fields.
This is what communists LITERALLY believe. When they say “that’s not TRUE COMMUNISM(tm)” this is what they’re talking about. Communists unironically think that they will establish an all encompassing state that completely controls the economy and issuance of property and then one day that state will dissolve itself and everyone will live in perfect anarchy for all eternity with no hierarchy or conflict every appearing again.
I can see how you’d fall for this shit if you were an uneducated 18th century factory worker/serf, but no wonder this shit died when global education standards increased.
soviet union
communist
Here’s an example of what I was talking about.
no bro you gotta get with my total anarchy in two more weeks program
unironically "it's not real communism" in 2025
Funny how all this whinging about communism only started showing up on Anon Babble once trump was humiliated and keeps being humiliated by the Chinese Communist Party and Xi Jinping. Really makes you think.
Why wasn't it real communism? Because it didn't work?
Say what you want about Soviet chads, but they didn't have a bunch of homeless/neet 30 year olds rotting away on the streets/parent's basement.
not to mention the way communists engage in warfare
Okay here comes endless wave of meat #8, this one will surely do the trick!
Pull up a heat map of homeless vs a temperature heat map
Homelessness is a climate problem not an economic one
Why doesn’t
It does. But the results are sub-optimal and destructive.
Yeah. The better or hotter the climate the more expensive the housing, you capitalist nigger
False, free housing in Venezuela, cheap housing in Cuba yet we have terrible homeless in both
Seethe
Homelessness is a climate problem
Climate is a problem for homelessness.
Because they die off.
Without a home.
In the climate.
Potato potatoe
The Soviet Union collapsed because its foundation was Russian culture, which is pure cancer. Not communism
Because communism isnt an economy system, it is a SOCIETY system.
And it works wonders for the tyrants who want to live like GOD on earth.
Do you think Anon Babble of all places was ever sympathetic to communism?
I don't know if communism is the solution but I have to admit Karl Marx's predictions and analysis still reign pretty true. And in a lot of ways its probably worse than when he was alive. Though a part of me wonders if central banking/inflation is more of the issue rather than capitalism itself
Every single aspect of communism goes against human nature.
* no reward for hard work
* no way to save for the future
* no innovation allowed, the state tells you what to do
Of secondary importance is that there is no economic "signaling mechanism" to decide how much of anything to produce. In capitalism, if there is sudden demand for a product, you can raise the price, which controls the demand and gives you more profit to invest into increasing production. Under communism, you're told how much to make and if more is needed, too fucking bad, or if less is needed, you just wasted resources.
And where’s the Soviet Union today?
le Drumpf is being humiliated!
le Chinese aren't secretly negotiating!
le Chinese economy isn't being wrecked!
le Chinese haven't made any concessions!
LOL, LMAO even
Trump is using tariffs to force other governments to negotiate on reducing their tariffs against American goods -- because pretty much everyfuckingplace else has massive tariffs against the U.S., and we just let them wreck our manufacturing by dumping their products on us at below manufacturing costs. That sounds great until you've got no jobs and all of your necessities (like medications) are controlled by hostile governments (like China).
Actually they kinda did, they just masked it by forcing everyone to take any job the Communist Party told them to take.
Sergei Korolev was sent to the gulag to work as a miner. You know, the same Korolev who was the "Chief Designer" of the only successful parts of the Soviet space program. Why? Because some rival of his decided to report him for subversion to sabotage his career. Then the rival continuously fucked up massively until finally the USSR said "hey, you know, that Korolev guy at least managed to launch rockets, unlike Fuckup over here."
Piss off some Party apparatchik and you're sent to gut fish on a trawler. Suck dick well enough and you're the apparatchik's personal secretary, until he decides he wants new meat. Do a great job and get gulaged. Do an ok job and constantly kiss ass and you get promoted to a higher job when a slot opens up.
Communism is post-state socialism. The fucking retards who believe in communism always pretend that the failures of socialists states are totally due to anything but shitty ideology; they never stop to think that almost no one who has power over others is going to volunteer to relinquish that power and live a shittier life just so that True Communism can be achieved. In something as large and complex as an entire country, the half-dozen people who might voluntarily give up power aren't nearly enough to influence the millions of people who are in other positions of power and who aren't going to give it up. As a consequence, it is fundamentally impossible to transition from a socialist state to a communist non-state.
* no reward for hard work
* no way to save for the future
* no innovation allowed, the state tells you what to do
Those are not problems by themselves, except for the scenario where OTHER COUNTRIES EXIST and they are not communist.
Other countries work harder - communism fails
Other countries save for the future - communism fails
Other countries invent and discover new things - holy shit just look at North Korea stuck in the 60s
having managers who don’t understand how to do the work themselves.
Even private companies have this. Working under a micromanaging prick is hell. Now imagine this on a national level. Yikes. That’s why no management is best management.
saving is a requirement for survival in any environment because the future is always unknown
saving is a requirement for survival
The Egyptians had up to 7 years of reserves for the top class. That is, total climate collapse for 7 years and their leadership and elites would survive. Which country can brag today that they can sustain anything for 7 years?
if central banking/inflation is more of the issue rather than capitalism itself
almost as if parasites used a word with a different meaning for people in order to hide the true source of issues which is the management of money and specifically its supply
considering everyone have debt which is not savings but a mix of slavery and ponzi valuation, none
For their leadership? The global elite has reserves for themselves for 7000 years.
Objectively overkill, you do not need to last X years but simply longer than the other governments. Surprisingly Canada has the highest banking reserves so in the event of global bank failures they are the most insulated. In bull markets it cucks them tho and most banks can't actually stay competitive if they have to maintain high reserves and the other banks dont
Canada is the canary in the coal mine
They sold off 100% of their gold reserves to China of all fucking places
A real worldwide catastrophe happens and they are the designated western gimp
Those are not problems by themselves,
Of course they are, and the fact that you think they aren't proves what a dumbfuck you are.
If hard work produces no reward beyond what everyone else gets, then why bother? You can sit on your ass and get drunk all the time just like they do, and you won't suffer any more than the others.
If you can't save up for the future, then any sort of problem can leave you starving or dead.
