Show me the country that attempted communism and I'll point out why it wasn't communism.
My uncle Angus is a true Scotsman
No country attempted comunism. Communism is a type of socirty, not a regime stance. Various countries attempted socialism, with varying degrees of success. The same thing can be said for capitalism. How many capitalist countries do you see succeeded? Because if I'm not mistaken, no capitalist country that "succeded" did it without exploiting other countries. Although, to be fair, it is more easy for the later to suceed, since it is not designed to make a life worth living, just to make money for very few hands.
When the purpose of a system is to extract labor from and exploit the people you're oppressing, and siphoning up all wealth and resources to a select few... what you're seeing now is successful capitalism.
Exactly, couldn't agree more.
Exactly. “That wasn’t really communism!”
But then communism fans have another problem. Then they’re advocating for a system that’s never been tested, never succeeded anywhere, and which can’t even really be described in much detail because we have no working examples to look to.
But it’s still the solution! Capitalism is the fantasy! LOL
