Why is america so afraid of communism ?
>>
>>669464195
Because communist doctrine threatens our freedom to own our own businesses, make money freely, freedom of speech, freedom of expression. There was a reason why perestroika was so celebrated. People hated communism. It just threatens the very nature of our country, that is founded on a specific set of values that we love, that directly contradict communism.

Because it devalues the individual in favor of the collective. The usa was founded and upheld with the belief, that YOU can make it. The individual and their freedoms is what America is about. It also has to do with the size of the country. It is hard to think of a collective when you have a thousand miles seperating people.

Actually communism is closer to liberalism, conservatism gravitated toward free market capitalism in every way. And democracy allows for people to decide what happens with their government, instead of some totalitarian ruler deciding everything. What if the dictator is some sick, cruel asshole?

Because a lot of people spent a lot of time, money and power to make it that way.

Also because the communists proved to be spineless Moscow shills during the Cold War and lost any credibility with the mainstream left. All it took at that point was a few decades of red-baiting to cleanse the left of anyone genuinely interested in class politics.

You have no idea what conservatism is or has been historically. The free market was the enemy of traditional conservatives. True, Edmund Burke-style conservatives were as critical of the market during the 60s and 70s as their left counterparts.

The market destroys the family and the traditional social bonds that serve as the glue for our society and culture. It creates commodities out of people and leads to anomie. Nothing is sacred in the market.

Traditional conservatism recognized the importance of family, of enduring values, and believed that a society was an entity unto itself that had a right to exist unscathed, whether by outsiders of rapacious and greedy insiders.

This is what conservatives have forgotten. Conservatives today are a bunch of stupid neoliberals.

Capitalism doesn't work because it assumes all people behave rationally, that the information people have access to is perfect, and that the market is always equal and fair.

But we could strawman all day and we wouldn't get anyway. "Communism" is how human beings lived before agriculture. The communism of tomorrow however would look very much different. Small, autonomous, self-sufficient and sustainable economic and political units that meet their needs with application of modern technology for maximum automation and efficiency while endeavoring to fit neatly into their ecological surroundings.

That's an easy explanation, very simple, very wrong. The fact is that people did indeed live better in the USSR than they did before. Now things are worse than they were in the USSR for most people. Most people in pretty much every country care fuck all about global politics, they just want their lives to improve.

>>669467941
They didn't have slaves before agriculture, and it worked alright for them. The main limitation then was nature herself, unbridled and vicious and unpredictable. With today's wealth and technology such an arrangement could easily subsist while also being better for the people in said arrangement than any society in the history of mankind. But in order for that to happen the impulse of modernity, unchecked endless growth and profit, would need to be crushed.

Soon it will crush itself. A finite planet will not abide limitless growth. The survivors will be wise enough to see what really matters, hopefully.
>>
>>669467752
Guess what, life is not fair. The markets are not fair. Capitalism is not perfect by all means, but it does reward hard work and talent. Communism gives spreads resources and wealth around equally (except those in power are incredibly rich), and rewards everyone the same regardless of talent and work ethic.

Look up any Freidman quote on privatization. EVERYTHING on this good green earth should be for sale according to the court philosophers of power. I'm talking power as a structure, not that bullshit horserace we call politics and pretend matters. Both party establishments are neoliberal through and through.

Neoliberalism as an ideology is pseudoreligious. Markets are not best because they work best, but because they are moral. Anything less than a totally free market is tyranny. Totally free markets means children working in sweatshops while their parents cycle between three. It means for profit schools churning out docile idiots for the meat grinder. The market has only the value of profit in mind, nothing else is worthwhile.

I'm only going to briefly make mention of the fact that free markets are a myth and every single large business in history itself has depended on the state and its support to succeed. Big government is the handmaiden of big business, alternatively its caretaker and crony.

A system of government is not what we are talking about. We are talking about economic systems. And the one we were talking about, capitalism, is unsustainable.

I said the current paradigm of limitless growth was crushing itself as it ran against the hard limits of ecology and economy. Squeezing more and more out of people with increasing efficiency and automation leads to mass unemployment and sluggish demand. Squeezing the environment leads to ecological instability. Both lead to volatility in the global market. Both show how the way of things as they are today cannot continue for much longer. Technology has nothing to do with this and I really don't understand what your point is in that regard. Technology wasn't driven by capitalism. We've barely had capitalism for a hundred and fifty years, and nowadays the profit motive limits technological growth.

Communism doesn't need a working class. Communism is an arrangement without classes. People are entitled to what they create. Capital, the resource which society creates, is owned collectively and access to it is granted to all.

Yeah, and that model has been changed and diluted over time, just as the communist model has been implemented, then changed and diluted over time. The difference is communism is far too easily exploited. Capitalism is exploitable too, but nowhere near as much as communism, and that's why most every country uses a capitalist model.

>>669471604
You are deliberately misunderstanding me. How is it that 2 and 2 do not make 4 in your mind? If you have a system predicated on limitless growth, as ours is, and you have a planet with has limited resources, as ours does, how can you not see that this situation isn't going to end well? I'm not saying growth needs to be crushed. The word "need" implies some sort of value judgement. I'm standing back and making a basic observation, not making any sort of value judgement. Capitalism is irrational. Continued support for capitalism is irrational.

As for your second "point," the idea of a 12 hour workday is only necessary in our current system. The fact of the matter is there is enough to go around in terms of wealth. Nobody honestly needs to work 12 hour days in order for their to be enough to go around. But our system isn't about making sure there's enough to go around. Its about YOU making more for YOURSELF. Not being the best. Not helping others. Getting more. Even if that means someday has nothing. Even if that means somebody has to work a 12 hour day, or three jobs, or any of the ridiculous things people go through today because its cheaper to employ one person and make them do the job that four used to do. Not cheaper for society, but cheaper for the shareholders.

Your entire worldview is predicated on falsehoods: that if I work hard I will be rewarded in proportion to my efforts, that my efforts are the primary factor in the quality of my life, and that I am in competition with everyone else to get mine because there isn't enough to go around. Until you can overcome this incorrect worldview you are hopeless.

On the current system, I make 10, you make 5, I have 1, you have 1, and the owner of the tools has 13.

You produce 10 units of value, whether that's ten units of food or toilet paper or whatever. You are then entitled to that 10 units of value. Actually, if its a basic necessity of life, you are entitled to that anyway. Luxury goods require work credits. Luxury goods are produced on demand rather than mass produced for profit. They are made durable so they will not need to be replaced next year. All goods are this way when there need be no profit.

Actually about your 12 hr workday being a product of our system shows me you dont know how long surgeries take. Also you seem to rhink all rhe resources on the earth just disappear afrer they have been used. Unless the chemical structure has been changed or it has been shot into space, it is still on earth. In a capitalist society, there is a new opportunity for the entrepreneur. In a communist society, enjoy your work as a recycler for which you wont make anything.
And my friend, competition is how the human species has became the dominant force on this planet. To say we need to brush this aside is assine. Do you think we will reach our full potential by just exsisting? If so you are a fool, who buys the deliousion of old bearded fools. Until you realize that humans achieve their maximum potential through competition, you will remain an ignorant supporter of communism

Life can't and shouldn't be reduced to need. If you can produce 10 loafs of bread, and only need 3, then you should do whatever the fuck you want with the spare 7, likely, trade them for shit you can't produce.

But if WE both only have 1 loaf because the owner of the bread making machine that keeps other 13 that WE made decided that's what we need to live, so he can keep buying bread making machines with the other 13, we don't have many options do we?

That's exactly how capitalism works, and the actually existing socialism tried to extrapolate that logic into a "fair" all controlling state, and that's why it failed, among other reasons.

True enough, but Americans would do better to fear it less, and have more contempt for it as a failed doctrine. It would then make more sense to them what pundits mean when they say FDR saved capitalism from the capitalists: The kind of system that exists in Russia today, with rule by a few oligarchs through a corrupt regime, is not capitalism, but a kind of extreme plutocracy that borders on feudalism. This is why capitalism, tempered with socialism enough to keep a few rich people from becoming too powerful, and owning the government as well as their businesses, are the most successful countries on a per-capita basis. If you asked any venture capitalist or fund manager whose track record stands out from the rest, they will largely agree with this pragmatic view of capitalism.
