Yes, full-time, though the plight of the unemployed and unhoused is equally important. Not telling you any more, not doxxing myself. Additionally, it absolutely is not relevant.
Yes.
The US is a dying Empire. It has no long-term future, conditions are worsening. Disparity is rising and will continue to do so, and Real Wages will continue to stagnate. The world is already throwing the US off their backs at increasing rates.
Meanwhile, Socialism has stable growth over time that doesn't depend on self-destructive systems like Capitalism or Imperialism.
Social Democracy is not Socialism. I am not talking about Capitalism where "the government does some extra stuff." Social Democracy in the Global North depends on Imperialism to support itself, and worker protections are crumbling as disparity rises. Social Democracy is a temporary concession.
Do you actually know how these countries function, democratically and politically? This isn't a gotcha, I want to know to what extent you're familiar so we can even begin to talk about them. Even then, North Korea isn't a One-Party State.
I don't, that's why I am a Communist and not a Liberal. Come on, this was a useless gotcha.
In what communist nation are there free elections?
I don’t understand this mental gymnastics.
You’re talking about the benefits of socialism while advocating for communism but my questions have been about communism.
In what communist nation do you have free elections?
In what communist nation do the people actually choose their leadership, instead of a “elite (but remember communism is supposed to be classless…) group that elects the leaders”?
Communism is a novel idea BUT it hasn’t done a very good job demonstrating its benefits to the world. That’s the unfortunate reality of the situation.
All of them practice democracy. What do you mean by "free?" Is that a vibe, where if Socialist = false, Capitalist = true?
I’m not talking about socialism.
I’m talking about communism.
This post is about communism.
You’re advocating for communism.
The terms are not interchangeable.
The terms were used interchangeably by Marx.
So we’ve decided socialism was invented by Marx then?
You are talking about Socialism, Communism is the status after Socialism. "Communism" as a status hasn't been achieved, as it must be global, so we are talking about Socialism, and Marxism, the path to build Communism.
If only you spent even a fraction of time you've spent trolling here actually educating yourself on the subject.
