Modern day communists are hilarious. They just kind of pretend the USSR didn't already try it and fail miserably at it.

Saying that the USSR was really communist is like saying America is a real democracy.

"And to the Republic"
"Republicans"

Any of those ring a bell?

We are humans, and thus incapable of forming true communist states, or true democracies.
User avatar #933 to #261 - toplica (09/17/2012) [-]
no, people lack will and are greedy which makes them unwilling to form communism, not incapable. Sorry, i just want to point out it's the individuals fault, not genetics or humanity.

communism/marxism can't work! why would anyone choose to go to school and end up with the same salary as a trashcarier? he would get less money in the years he wents to school (pluss the money for the school if it wasn't free) and he would get a harder job (pluss the education is hard). I agree to that there should be more equally salaries, but the guys with a hard education and a hard job should earn more then in the "easy" jobs where you don't need any education etc.
User avatar #1523 to #1045 - toplica (09/17/2012) [-]
I didn't say an ideal communist society would work, I'm just saying it is absolutely possible if the people wanted it bad enough, but they don't so it won't happen. Also in places like poland you couldn't choose your profession.

The very fact that we are humans means that (the vast majority of the time) we will do whatever the fuck we want because we can. Who in their right minds would go and give all their money to others for no reason? Morons. The world is a magical place where you can make a shit ton of money legitimately and then get called 'selfish' because you don't walk down to your nearest homeless shelter and give the guys all your money. I have a massive amount of respect for all governments because they organise so much shit it's unreal. They collectively keep countries running. No matter how 'bad' a job they're supposedly doing, the very fact that we have running water, electricity, food and more than enough money to go out and buy that nice new rug you've wanted so badly, is a testament to the great job they're doing. No-one is ever going to be happy with political candidates because for some reason everyone seems to think that they should get absolutely everything exactly how they want it. Which, funnily enough, is fucking impossible. Imagine trying to make hundreds of millions of people happy. You can't do it. You can try to make a majority happy but even then there will be minor discrepancies which ultimately people will exploit to make you look fucking retarded. Rage over.

<mfw all of this rage over politics
I think everyone need to stop being so polar about it.
The poorfag has to understand that there have to be poor people or the system won't work (the alternative being communism, which just fucks everyone) and it's not every rich persons' fault that they are poor. On the flip side, when the greedy get too much power, they can manipulate a lot of things like the government or media to their benefit, and it usually ends up screwing everyone but them (including other rich people.businesses). However, not all of the wealthy do that kind of shit. I know some pretty cool rich people myself. IMO everybody just needs to chill out about a lot of this stuff, being so angry about is is a waste.

tl;dr: The rich shouldn't be condemned for being rich, poor shouldn't be helped just because they're poor

So a disabled person shouldnt get helped because they're disabled

I think it's the job of the government to provide equal opportunity, not equal results.
User avatar #8 to #7 - theblonderfetus **User deleted account** (09/16/2012) [-]
I assume you mean not favoring one class over another. If so, then yeah, I completely agree. The government shouldn't carry anyone, you should support yourself on your own work and by the means that you are provided and create. On that same note, there still have to be regulations somewhere.
Whatever though, you seem like a pretty cool guy.

Because everything anti-liberal is marxist? You Americans are all over-emotional hyprocrits.
User avatar #12 to #2 - doctordalek ONLINE (09/16/2012) [-]
What the fuck are you talking about, marxism is as far left as it gets. The United States is the most conservative nation on the planet.
#50 to #12 - strictlypornos (09/16/2012) [-]
Yea, and the Latin American countries where you can be executed for being gay are liberal as fuck right? We have a liberal president, does that mean anything to you?
User avatar #57 to #50 - nengcaste **User deleted account** (09/16/2012) [-]
and there is no country in latin america where you get killed for being gay, that happens in africa and the arab world; but I understand your confusion, its not like their is an ocean or any cultural diferences between the two
#172 to #57 - strictlypornos (09/16/2012) [-]
I didn't confuse them, much of central and south america has bans on 'homosexual activity' which can be anything from a fine to several years or imprisonment. Things are obviously much better there than they are in africa, but it's not perfect either.

I'd venture to say that south america, with their recently departed dictators and large catholic population would disagree with you.

User avatar #708 to #189 - nengcaste **User deleted account** (09/16/2012) [-]
1).the dictators were in power mostly because of the cia support, not because they represented the will of the nation
2).catholics are far more moderated than protestants, a great amount of the catholics are just secular catholics, there is even a theology of catholicism that makes christianity and marxism one, so catholicism is not necesarily linked to conservadurism, latin america is closer to europe in means of religion, the way americans understand religion is only seen in the usa and some islamic countries.
3).there is not a single latin american nation in which being homosexual is banned, look it up before talking smartass, the only countries in which being homosexual is banned even up to life in prison are old british and dutch colonies,which are obviously not part of latin american
#892 to #708 - strictlypornos (09/17/2012) [-]
1) Yes, but they still influenced the realm for quite a time, thus leaving quite an impression on the people. Indeed they are far more liberal than they once were and have moved forward a great deal.
2) Catholicism are against most things liberal, including abortion, birth control, gay marriage you name it. They are the Protestant is a very large branch of Christianity, containing everything from extremist to secular Christians, so that's an iffy stereotype.
3) Indeed you are correct, I was ill informed. These years out of college have dulled my mind, my mistake.
4) Also, sorry for the message with the crab, I thought it was just a smoking crab, forgot about the deal with it part... have a great day, and thank you for correcting me politely

No, it's Marxist because he wants to overthrow the rich, re-distribute their money and form a new government.
User avatar #1259 to #5 - victoronefourtwo (09/17/2012) [-]
Note that he doesn't want to overthrow the rich, and redistribute their money. He wants to overthrow those in power of the economy and politics, regardless of whether or not they are rich. No where does he say he wants to redistribute their money either, or in anyway say take their money at all. Including "and form a new government" also makes no sense, as that doesn't make something Marxist.

I think people fail to forget that the rich NEED that money for investment capital... It's not like their bank accounts sit with stagnant money. They constantly cycle it to keep investments up to make MORE money to make MORE investments so MORE companies can grow.   
   
I'm not saying I completely agree with &quot;taxes more on the middle class, less on rich&quot; because I personally work 40 hours a week for 15 bucks an hour, and its fucking tough paying for school. It is what it is though.

I dont think that the rich should pay more taxes, just simply an equal percentage of thier yearly income.
