Communism isn't possible until a government has enough resources to support it, and non-greedy people to initiate and control it. This won't happen until the whole world unites in a single country. Which won't happen as long as people have extremely different opinions. Since people are being brainwashed to have their own 'special' identity, communism will probably never happen, and if it does it will be broken by a capitalistic country sooner or later. Most people are too self-centred to sacrifice themselves in order to help the society.

There is something wrong with that if you're taking from others without consent to support the poor. That's theft.

There are clear historical reasons why the Russian Revolution ended in state capitalism rather than a transition to a socialist economy. After a period of attempting Soviet democracy, Lenin realized that a society of feudal serfs could not take command of their political and economic lives, so a period of state-run capitalism was needed for industrialization and to create the proletariat culture necessary for socialism. The historical reason why the USSR was state capitalist rather than socialist / "communist" is that you can't go directly from feudalism into socialism.

The state controlled the means of production, but the people had absolutely no control once the authoritarian command economy was set up. The state was running the economy in lieu of private capitalists as a capitalist economy. There are very clear differences between what socialists want and Stalinism. Socialists envision worker-OWNED and worker-MANAGED enterprises as the backbone of the economy. That is, democratically owned and operated. On a macroeconomic level, the decisions about necessary labor hours and economic output should have been made by the people, not by state bureaucrats. There are very, very good reasons for calling it state capitalism instead of socialism, and none of them have to do with the redefinition of socialism.

Socialism is the emancipation of all classes through the democratization and socialization of the economic substructure. All ruling classes will be eliminated by socialism - and that includes ruling classes of state bureaucrats.

Communism is the extermination of the wealthy, taking what they own, and giving it to the poor. Then the govenment runs things, usually with tons of gulags and mass murder. See the USSR or North Korea or the Khmer Rouge

I'm not even talking about human nature at all, but you obviously want me to in order to strawman me to death.

>Humans will strive to do right if they know what is right.
How do you know that is actually the case?
Oh wait you don't. You're just pulling intellectual stuff out of your butt to prove a point.

How do people know what is right and what is wrong?
They don't.

Lastly endless kindness can't compensate lack of resources.
I simply can't help someone if I don't have the means to, that's basic logic.

It's the truth.

True communism doesn't work because the leaders will always exploit the working class.

True capitalism always leads to an oligarchy where the rich get richer, and the remaining 99% languish in squalor and filth, dying from diseases that are easily treatable but whose treatments they can't afford.

Both systems are also breeding grounds for corruption.

Sadly, no current form of government is perfect, they all have flaws that become more and more apparent the longer they are allowed to run.

The differences between left and right communism are as far apart as fascism and libertarianism. Why then is their conflict more justified than ours? Or maybe you don't want to put forth the effort to understand the conflict.

>True communism doesn't work because the leaders will always exploit the working class.

Right, you don't understand what "communism" means in the context of Marxism. You only understand communism as Stalinism, which means you need to educate yourself before making silly general statements. Communism is a STATELESS society, the theoretical endpoint of Marx's conception of socialism.

You are making claims about private and state capitalism, and saying that both are corrupt and work against the people because their ruling classes work in their own short-term self-interest. Socialists would entirely agree!

Well, I certainly don't see any communists running around controlling Western nations. Or are you one of those conspiracy theorist who believes that communists have corrupted American democracy?

Socialists believe that the people don't understand the alternatives to capitalism (clearly, they don't), and it is the duty of the advanced proletariat to show them socialism in action (through mass line action, etc)

In fact showing to be charitable is a great way to bind people to you, and is thus a viable marketing tactic.

If you went to North Korea and asked people if they wanted a new government, the majority would probably say no. If you asked a slave in 1700s America if he'd care to go free, he'd probably say no. Information is subject to the will of the Masters. Information subjects the opinions of the masses.

That is a freedom that is restricted to the small class of individuals that have an economic privilege the vast majority of a world ruled by capitalism wouldn't even be able to imagine.

To put it in terms you tweens can understand, you think capitalism is great and everyone is free because you live in District 1.

If you have Internet access and can post here, guess what? You are almost certainly in the 1% of per capita income worldwide. Other people more rich than you'll ever be? Some people never deal wirh rejection and land super-attractive mates who give them anal whenever they want. My wife gives me anal--at most--four times a year. I don't comlain about how unfair life is, especially while my dick is up her ass.

>I don't buy your implication that we capitalists are greedy or ignorant.

Capitalism is generally a good economic system, but it is inherently harmful to society and a moral hazard.

In a purely capitalist society no one would do anything for anyone without some kind of payment.

It forces mothers to sell their children and it forces young girls into prostitution unless they have some other means to support themselves.
>>
>>690127739
Your words, not mine. My example showed hoew "greatness" is relative and how some people can actually have things that I want, and I can--gasp--be grateful for what I do have.
"Screw you, got mine!" is a distortion of my argument. I'm a capitalist. I give to charity. I will never be rich. I love anal sex, and I can't get enough of it. I never said I was perfect, so please don't judge me by that standard.

You must not have done very well in school. I can tell because despite trying to explain elementary socialism to you a dozen times, you've still clearly learned absolutely nothing.
