Awareness of capitalism

Everywhere I go I am bombarded with capitalist propaganda, urging me to buy goods and services that are frankly no good.  I see advertisements that promote the belief in false virtues and ideals towards products, from cheap "as seen on TV" goods to dietary supplements that don't work to expensive cars that will be worth much less in a couple years. 

The propaganda does not aim to be true or factual, rather, it aims to say this product is infallible, and that to be a good citizen I must buy it.  I must be a part of consumer spending, of the economy, and yet there is so little benefit to me.  I am losing freedom every time I believe the propaganda and spend money on unneeded items.  I am enslaving myself to a life of consumption, managing to make just enough through labor in order to live.  Even without spending my dollars will sit there, waiting to be used, or to become devalued through inflation. 

The workers must work tirelessly to keep the system running, but they do it because they know this is for the greater good of the capitalist state.  They do not see themselves as slaves to the system. 

Reason is that capitalism tends to work. You can't really disagree with that. Just look at commie countries. Nice places to live? If you think so move there. You'll be probably back soon. I guess by now you would start saying that they aren't truely communist and start preaching some anarcho-communist ideals that have more to do with 60s hippies than Marx's ideals. I say they're as true communist one can get in this world.

Maybe a different kind of propaganda would be better suited to your need. Why not try anarchism (tm). Have a nice day!

What kind of anarchism? Anarcho-communism, anarcho-capitalism or just pure anarchism?

They're called adverts and you say propoganda as if you're supposed to believe propoganda. This is a democracy not a despotism, you're supposed to criticise propoganda. Don't worry, yuou're not in Cuba any more, you won't be executed.

P.S. All socialism are catastrophic failures and have all turned into vicious despotisms. Support socialism by all means, but please look at the facts.

P.P.S. Finland is a republic.

Marxist dialectical materialism, which connotes the constant struggle between opposites in an empirical setting, is the best method toward constant improvement. Objective analysis of problems based on empirical results is at a premium.

Unity of the masses, the Party and the whole country is essential. At the same time, criticism may take place along comradely lines, while at the same time a basic unity is felt and preserved. This is the dialectical method.

Criticism is a part of the Marxist dialectical method which is central to Party improvement; as such, communists must not fear it, but engage in it openly.

Communism will never work out, because we are all humans with feelings and desires. We aren't robots working for good of goverment.

Comminism wasn't supposed to be about government. That's just the way it worked out in reality.

So why didn't anyone disagree with his "Live in opulent splendour even though you are supposed to be a socialist." policy?

I think your talking about anarcho-communism. I'm sorry, but Marx was autocrat.

This thread has nothing to do with Jews or Nazis.  It is about mass extermination of a people because you say so.

I vote for midgets.  Can't stand 'em.

lol
 That's the only thing that makes sense in this entire thread.

I like the first post of this thread. It's funny.

Good job, anonymous! Have yourself a cookie.

maybe if you'd save your money instead of buying useless crap...  You do have control over your arms and legs you know, you can walk away from the TV and put down the fucking deep fat fried potato chips or burgers.
