you keep deflecting with that but that's literally all the soviets did differently. They decided to buy machines instead of let their people eat. It's not like I'm arguing in favor of capitalism or saying that America didn't use conquest and slavery to benefit our position. But when we industrialized didn't have 10-30 million people die in an artificially produced famine. So when you point to the soviet union or China and maybe they're doing something better than us cause they're growing faster... Without bringing up those deaths... Yea that's propaganda.

But communism is bad. That’s the only point there is. Anything else is ridiculous.

But in general they also needed to industrialize in their pov to really create communism. They needed the proletariat as a political base and the mechanized efficiency of industrial out put to truly bring them up out of backwater status and realize their communist vision. |

Yeah I think you're a capitalism flip flopper tbh. Like you know it isn't the bees knees but sometimes you still find yourself channeling that kid who grew up in America learning American things and you defend stuff on reflex. There's no shame in it tbh. I find it hard sometimes to think rationally about Afghanistan personally. I mean **** the Iraq War but that mu****er hit us with planes and then the Taliban gave us the finger. Wutcha gonna do but drop bombs?

The vast majority of Americans are way above those thresholds (which is why I cited the total U.S. population census in 2019 for reference). 1.8 million people is a drop in the bucket and nowhere near the 42% of our population (or whatever the hell OH was trying to cite). Present me information that actually proves otherwise.

But so far I'm not noticing the flip flop Capitalism is effective at one thing which is creating wealth and streamlining production. It's bad at other things like the environment, it creates inequality, etc. |
