In both socialism and communism, the wealth and power are concentrated in the hands of a few.

There's the ideal and there's the reality (ie: once the chaos of human behavior is added to the mix).

Socialism/Communism are the Amway of economic systems. On paper they look and sound good because the economic behaviors of both consumers and regulators are very generalized and assumed benevolent. Supporters of these systems never go beyond this theory, and when they put it into practice and it begins to fail because people aren't always benevolent they attempt to force it. That force often ends up becoming masking.

For example, toward the end of the Soviet Union the country was still hunting whales and killing them in large numbers. They had no market for any part of the whale, except for the bureaucracy to mark it down as "economic activity."

The more socialism/communism in your system, the more homogeneous your population must be as such structure demands no one has more than anyone else. If it were a footrace, no one could run faster than the slowest person in order to ensure that all reached the finish line at the same time.

The most basic and natural form of exchange is barter. I give you this, if you give me that. Both parties agree and there's an exchange or there is disagreement and thus no exchange happens. Capitalism is barter as an economic system (ie: just on a larger scale and using an agreed-upon currency as a storehouse of value).

pretty simple. the people at the top and in control get filthy rich from stealing everything. their worthless, low-iq, despondent, miserable minions get to see everyone else miserable like them.

Young people feel there should be no struggle. When they struggle they want to blame somebody. They blame who they feel aren’t struggling. Problem is that their struggle can get much much worse and they don’t have the experience to understand that. Add to that they’ve been indoctrinated by their liberal teachers/professors, most of whom have either failed in the real world or never attempted to survive in it by hiding in academia. In short…….communism is being romanticized by spoiled, indoctrinated children that think they’re superior to you because of their masters in liberal arts (that they’re pissed you won’t pay for) which qualifies them to get a septum piercing and pour coffee while 25yo blue collar Jim Bob has a wife, 2 kids and a starter home with lower monthly payments then their student loans (that they want you to pay for). They were told that the way to the American dream was education/indoctrination. They believed they would get the education and then it’d be easy and now they are finding out the truth. It’s never easy. It never gets easy. The American Dream is only obtained one way. Hard work……and they’re not really into that.

Everything is free. You don’t have to work. And everybody lives comfortably.

Unicorns walking freely in front yards and rainbows every day.

You are like soon tarded.

A waste of time. There is no benefit.

Only lazy, bitching bums can see the benefit of communism....

These people who believe in socialism and communism WANT to be sheeple and have the gubment take care of them.

I am afraid that the world is steering left.....and that really sucks!
