Nah I have been arguing with people about communism

Yeah it's tough, especially in a place with as many people as India but when I look at this:

https://www.worldometers.info/world-population/india-population/

Their population is increasing still so it's clear they still have enough resources to support themselves

They are nearly at 1.5 billion people! That number is mind boggling to me, I almost don't believe it, this is a snapshot of part of the 96,000 at the MCG for the Taylor Swift concert:

You're telling me they have 1.5 BILLION people? 🤯 Insane

Couldn't Biden have argued the same as his was during Covid and he was trying to clean up after Fuckface?

Seems like Chrimas1 was spot on 8 years ago:

Criticism section

This whole theory seems to be an agglomeration of anectodal and/or cherry-picked evidence. Definitely needs a criticism section. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chrimas1 (talk • contribs) 09:07, 16 February 2018 (UTC)

He's delusional, take him to the infirmary! 😂

by the way, I know this will be sad for you to hear but the soviet union collapsed! I know I know, it's sad, only 30 years ago, too soon 🥲

wouldn't it be less shit liberals?

Have you seen the USSR?

The Holodomor,[a] also known as the Ukrainian famine,[8][9][b] was a massive man-made famine in Soviet Ukraine from 1932 to 1933 that killed millions of Ukrainians

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holodomor

But during his visit, Yeltsin insisted on an impromptu visit to a mid-sized Texan supermarket called Randall’s before heading to the airport. He wanted to see what the average American shopping experience looked like, without tour guides and diplomats to airbrush the experience for him — and what he found shocked him to his core.

“When I saw those shelves crammed with hundreds, thousands of cans, cartons and goods of every possible sort, for the first time I felt quite frankly sick with despair for the Soviet people.” — Yeltsin’s autobiography

On the flight home, he apparently said with his head buried in his hands, raging at the lies of Soviet propaganda and how his country was betraying the working class. An aid who was with him on that flight home reckoned it was when the last traces of Bolshevism left him.

Sounds fuckin amazing m8

They should show this to you kids still in school, this is a miracle of production, the humble supermarket, you don't think twice about it, but in the USSR this was considered incredible

Have you seen modern Russia?

Yeah I seen it, I seen it trying to take back Ukraine real hard and Ukraine telling the USSR to fuck right off we don't want your shitty little union, it sucked enough the first time around (see Holodomor)

‘Who is going to pay us when we’re replaced by robots?’

If robots can make simple garments is that the end of jobs in India, is there nothing else to do?

It's not, he's just making shit up 🤣

“Our customers are recognizing that supply shortages in memory and storage will take considerable time to improve,” he said. “Even as we expect industry supply to improve gradually in 2028, we currently do not have line of sight as to when memory supply will be able to catch up with increasing demand.”

Is there nothing else to do in India except make simple garments ?

No shit, they tried it, apparently it didn't go very well:

The Great Leap Forward was an industrialization campaign within China from 1958 to 1962, led by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). CCP Chairman Mao Zedong launched the campaign to transform the country from an agrarian society into an industrialized society through the formation of people's communes. The Great Leap Forward led to between 15 and 55 million deaths in mainland China during the 1959–1961 Great Chinese Famine it caused, making it the largest or second-largest famine[1] in human history.[2][3][4][5]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Leap_Forward

So they decided to switch to a mixed market economy with capitalist elements https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reform_and_opening_up

and apparently things are going pretty well

The reforms led to significant economic growth for China within the successive decades; this phenomenon has since been seen as an "economic miracle".[1][2][4][5]

Juuuuust kidding, they actually stayed true to their communism roots and shunned the free market, international trade, every worker worked to his or her own ability, owned the means of production, never had any issues or disagreements and they lived happily, ever, after. The end 😇

ITT: lemmy (99.9% male) gets its first ai girlfriend and is helping her with the sex 🥳 how nice :)

sadly capitalism is more than a left wing progressive 5 word meme

There are volumes of books used to describe and explain and understand the intricacies of modern economies, and people who understand it aren’t coming to this shithole that’s for sure

Oligarchical capture of communist states, especially authoritarian ones, is going to recreate capitalism as it concentrates more wealth without more accountability

How can it recreate capitalism without a free market? That's communist not capitalist

You mean this one?

The Workers' Party of Korea (WPK)[a] is the ruling party of North Korea. Founded in 1949 from a merger between the Workers' Party of North Korea and the Workers' Party of South Korea, the WPK is the oldest active party in Korea. It also controls the Korean People's Army, North Korea's armed forces. The WPK is the largest party represented in the Supreme People's Assembly and coexists with two other legal parties that are completely subservient to the WPK and must accept the WPK's "leading role" as a condition of their existence. Kim Jong Un is the current party leader, serving as General Secretary of the WPK.

😅

But like I said, here's a bit of AI for you, feel free to fact check it:

Marx and Engels described communism as the final stage of human society, emerging after:

Capitalism collapses due to its internal contradictions (e.g., class struggle, overproduction).

Marx assumed this would happen naturally in advanced capitalist societies (e.g., Germany, UK) with strong worker movements.

Instead, communism was imposed by force in pre-industrial, agrarian societies (e.g., Russia, China, Cuba) where the conditions Marx described didn’t exist.

And as I said in my first reply: https://aussie.zone/comment/23631616

How ironic that China/Russia/North Korea etc instead decided to leap on it and realise that it sucks instead

or tldr: I'm sure capitalism will collapse any day now 🤣

tbh i thought the same but industry does use like 75% of the electricity generated and if you think about it most people have 10/20kwh batteries so they want to keep their usage around 1-2kwh to make it through the night

Is she not very funny?

There's no communism in North Korea?

Fuckin legends, I would hope we'd do the same if Cuntface built his tower here but it was cancelled before it even got started

I’d like to thank Communism for making me realise how good I have it :)
