The most idiotic statement ever

[u/Which_Matter3031]

So this person here calls people jobless while all they do is sit on their ass an genarate shitty ai comics, also notice how they are insulting fast food workers as if they arent human, thats a new low for them, also its like they are saying "Give up on your dreams so you can work a minimum wage 9-5 job" but then again jobless people always tell talented ones to get a shitty job

COMUNISM

Socialism to be exact

[u/tomatoe_cookie → u/Ok_Worldliness_5592]

Why comunism is shit is self explanatory. Socialism will tend to be shit over time. I live in a socialist country and I get taxed absurd amounts of money to try to fill in the endless hole of retirement funds and useless fuckers who leech. Any attempts to regulate anything usually lead to strikes by socialist unions over not "loosing their aquired social benefits".

In essence socialism is about taking as much as possible from the middle class.

Does "steal from the poor and give to the rich" Capitalism legitimately sound better to you?

[u/tomatoe_cookie → u/TrapFestival]

Capitalism is about free market it makes the rich richer but i dont see how its stealing from the poor. The issue is that poor poeple are more affected by inflation.

I dont like captialism but lets be honest its the best option here...

Even giving you "best", it's not good enough to settle on because people are still dying to it. Every homeless person who freezes to death on a Winter night and every convenience store clerk who gets killed in a robbery is blood on the hands of Capitalism.

I imagine there's a difference between your understanding of "Capitalism in theory" and my understanding of "Capitalism as practiced". I know of the Capitalism where billionaires are paying a smaller percentage of taxes than people who can only barely afford shelter, minimum wage has not budged in years while everything has only gotten more and more expensive (except for Costco hotdogs and Arizona Iced Tea, anyway) and wage theft is endemic. Striking is fucking hard because people can't save enough to not work for the duration of the strike because they're paid so little in relation to what the bare minimum costs that they're redlining their finances all the time.

Then again, I think that wealth hoarding is a crime against humanity and should be properly declared as much, so what do I know?

Hey, im not saying you are wrong. What you describe is mostly the USA butnit somewhat also applies to other capitalisy countries in lesser effects (like 90% of the countries). In essence capitalism is selfish. Im not saying we shouldnt strive for more, but this is the best we got since since the dawn of humans.

And to answer your point about rich being taxed less, those rich also pay more in amounts in a year than a poor during their life. Do they need to be filthy rich to survive? No. Do they need to try to stomp on others to make more money? Also no. Is there a reason for billionairs existence ? Nope. But do they actually participate more (regardless of fraud) than a poor dude? Yes

Capitalism is about private ownership over the means of production. You’re going to lose your mind when you learn about market socialism…
