Socialism is BS. Don't be fooled.

There is nothing wrong with equality as the EFFECT of good policy and tied in with other good effects, but using it as the sole CAUSE of your policy decisions is ridiculously stupid.

If everyone is starving, everyone is equal. Does that mean you have a super wonderful perfect economic system? Of course fucking not.

The communists were tyrants before they even decided to be communist. They knew that if they chose a fallacious ideal like communism they could place "equality" above freedom of speech and human rights once they got into power.

"The people in harge were bad, that's why communism didn't work." is a fucking stupid argument. Of course bad people exist and will get into the government. How old are you? 5? The reason why communism is flawed is because it has little to no safeguards against tyranny. There is no much use complaining about how Stalin lives in opulent splendour whilst your children starve if you are living in a "dictatorship of the proletariat". The founding fathers of the US made Freedom of Speach their 1 priority from day 1, that is why we are a democracy, because not being executed for speaking your mind is a little more fundamental than whatever good would come from handing all your property over to the government.

Remember. With capitalism, EVERYONE WINS! It doesn't matter if some win more than others.

Everyone wins because they are paid for the amount of valuable work they do and if that still isn't enough you can always vote in a government which taxes the rich to keep you out of poverty.


... fuck you've got to be blind.. if everyone were to be paid for "the amount of valuable work" they do then how on earth would the capitalists earn money?
in early days of capitalsim a worker got paid for half of his day's work. now perhaps 3/4 of a day. your argument is so fucking wrong in every single way. please
if you want to claim someting is bad then you might would want to look at your own alternative. Reading a bit of Marx wouldn't destroy your brain.

oh and by the way. Soviet wasn't a communist state after Stalin became the leader. Stalin's politics were clearly those of a fascist.
