    If successful all but the wealthiest would be better off, would they not? Are you thinking of the “communism” that happened in the Soviet Union.like?

      im not discussing economics in this place anymore, it’s pretty clear you guys are always talking about capitalism as a way to say America, and communism to mean whatever random notion of socialism you dream up that definitely hasn’t been tried before

          I always wonder why one emoji isn’t enough. It’s always spammed in multiples of 3 or 5, as if they’re cloning themselves. One gets the point across just fine.

            I’m not even a communist. I just try not to dismiss people with an attitude like that.

            As you said, sometimes it’s not worth engaging, but… you did, and were a jerk about it.

            If you can’t acknowledge that maybe, just maybe, the poor and downtrodden banding together to advance their own interests might improve their lives, I dunno what to say. That it might not? That they’d just be stopped? That human nature will prevail and tear it all down?

            Maybe. Might be worth trying. I know that’s a pipe dream, and so do you, but let people have their goddamned dreams. Maybe someday they’ll turn into something more.

            I get the bitterness, communism has struggled. But it’s not the only “not capitalism” option either, a lot of people here are straight up anarchists. And that definitely hasn’t been given a fair chance, no nation can tolerate it!

          english not your strong point?

          not discussing economics in this place anymore

          anymore implies that i did at one point then stopped because of the aforementioned reasons

          so you saying i don’t bring anything of substance to this particular discussion is self defeating, i already pointed out why before you pointlessly made your comment
