So after a global war destroyed every other country, the only place whose industry and infrastructure wasn’t in ruins, whose cities were intact, whose population wasn’t murdered by bombing, some of those people did pretty well.
US of A is about 4% of the world. And I’m pretty sure not everyone in US wasn’t equally well off.
I know this is a troll account, but for the sake of other users reading this thread; capitalism is an inherently arc shaped economy. It does tend work at first, but it’s inherently unsustainable.
Similar to the idea that if you smoke meth, you will get high, but you won’t stay high. Staying high requires more meth, more destruction of your body each time.
Another inherent trait of capitalism is that it thrives on and essentially requires some group to be exploited so another can profit. It’s an asymmetrical system by design.
My life isn’t better, in fact my quality of life is currently plummeting because of all the debt and inflation. As well when socialism even hints at showing the USA is there with the CIA and its military to beat it the fuck down. Making sure we cannot have functional socialist economic systems.
Some socialist systems succeed until their territory gets seized by colonial interests. The US and GB are both guilty many times over of being the predatory belligerent. Most of our wars in the 20th century were about commercial interests seizing the resources of undeveloped nations, and then forcing their populations to work at meager wages.
In fact, when Lenin started his great communist experiment, the first thing Wilson did was unite rest of the industrialized world to sanction the USSR, so (at the risk of sounding like a tankie) we don’t know how well the Soviet Union would have fared if it was allowed to flourish on its own terms. (I don’t expect it would be a perfect utopia, but it may have been able to stave off the decent into corruption for a while.)
Imagine being so captured by Capitalist Realism you parrot this shit like a broken LLM and actually think it’s your own original thought and not the propaganda that’s been programmed into you.
Dude, I am fully and thoroughly committed to hating communism with a deep and heartfelt passion, but capitalism absolutely can be a nightmare if abused, and right now it absolutely fucking is. This level of income inequality is like capitalism laced with meth, rat poison and literal shit.
So, yea, I guess “consistently” is the only word in your comment I disagree with.
This is a satire account meant to mock SatansMaggotyCumFart, isn’t it?
Because SMCF is way further to the right than the obsequious simping for trump and musk that you posted. Satire needs to be at least slightly hyperbolic in order to work. Not restrained like what you posted.
Every communist state will fail to achieve communism because a state cannot abolish itself, but don’t try to pretend their failures are an indictment of communism as a whole. If we want communism, we have to get there a different way, through actions that are aligned with our goal. Seizing state power will never work.
And sure, maybe capitalism is working fine for you and your loved ones, but if you’d look outside your bubble, a lot of people are suffering. Insisting that capitalism is the only economic system that works is a bit shortsighted I think. Gift economies might be a better way.
Capitalism is the only economic model that consistently works.
Every time socialism/communism fails everyone is making excuses why but capitalism keeps moving along making people’s lives better.
Works for who though?
Common people.
That’s the reason why in the '50’s people could work at a gas station and still afford a house and family.
That was a “common” experience of a small percentage of people. The rest of the world was heavily exploited.
Things were pretty good here in the states.
Not if you weren’t white.

Do not forget that stuff also worked out in the past because literally every capitalist country exploited the global south.
Yeah this shouldn’t be overlooked.

you claims it to be only model that works, yet it is already collapsing under its own weight in less time than many big empires in history has lasted.
When do you expect US to have a proletarlian revolution?
Right after China does.

Those are the excuses I’m talking about.
Outside influence = excuses. Typical neo-liberal thinking.
Now I remember what and why I tagged you.
Let me guess;
Super cool and reasonable guy?
Imagine being so captured by Capitalist Realism you parrot this shit like a broken LLM and actually think it’s your own original thought and not the propaganda that’s been programmed into you.
Absolutely. Every time I encounter capitalism in my life, it gets better.

You’re just upset that you’re not as smart or hard working as someone like Elon Musk or Trump.
You know, if you’re trying to satirize the actual SatansMaggotyCumFart, you can’t do it by being so over the top when you say things to his left.
What?
This comment is way further to the left than the SatansMaggotyCumFart I’m used to. Like, comically so.
I’m sorry but I’m still not picking up what you’re putting down.

No he’s still the same right wing dipshit.
Oh man I’m gonna need like five more coffees before I’ll understand that.
