I don’t even know how to tag this post. There’s so much going on. Criticizing only historical capitalism is news to me.
What you tankys don’t understand is that economies are just huge sliders. You push too much in one direction, you get ultra freedom deluxe, where 3 trillionaires enslave mankind, too much to the other direction and we have Stallin Meow 616 Gajillion dead. We’re at the end of history so all we need to do is tinker with the slider until we get star trek.
/s because despite my efforts to sound over the top, the core idea is what libs actually believe
Beware of those who oppose communism while also claiming to oppose capitalism. These types are frequently neofascists.
Neofascists have no interest in reducing—let alone abolishing—the phenomena of capital, the law of value, and generalized commodity production. They are simply frustrated with how actually existing capitalism benefits the haute‐bourgeoisie too much and the petty bourgeoisie too little.
Yeah, anyone who says “capitalism and communism are both bad.” is always pushing for some kind of third way. The worst part is how convincing they can be despite being super obvious about their fascism.
Maybe I am just jaded at this point but whenever I see this “both are bad” language used, I just automatically assume the person has no idea about anything they are talking about. And I generally expect the next thing they say to be either a negative thing about communism or a positive thing about western late capitalism. I’m generally right about that part…
How is a historical critique invalid when the systems of today are the exact same ones in most cases? Maybe they just mean any topic that has had enough time pass by to be researched.
Liberals daily wage war against semantics.
These people remind me of Americans that insist that they don’t have an accent.
