Hey, sometimes there's a potato on the plate, when the motherland doesn't need it at least.
MrStarkLord
*sometimes* there is a potato, rofl perfect. So true
Pokegeologist
Sometimes there's a potato, sometimes you wait 16 hours for bread at the state run shop down the street.
smashpro1
I thought the potatoes were fermented and then drank?
nclu
Not much else to do with them when they’re rotting in the box cars “headed” for the capitol.
nickg131
Ah the classic Irishman's dilema. Do I eat the potato now, or wait for it to ferment so I can drink it later?

You might want to consult history on that...
just look up the stats, its not hard. ignorance is a choice

Shhhhhh! We don't talk about that side of history now.
That side of history? That was the fuckin Great Depression! You know, when the world economy got fucked? We better keep talkin about it!
Ah yes, it sucked living in the US during the Great Depression. No wait, it sucked everywhere. So, try again?
blackrasputin
I’ll take that over being poor in another country any day.
naikou
Honestly? I would rather live in the low point of US history than any time in the USSR.
Tiis
No one is saying living in the USSR was good, just that the whole communism = starvation, capitalism = paradise circlejerk is ridiculous
at no point did people say capitalism is perfect. just that communism is terrible and that some of the points that people are giving
against capitalism in this thread are bullshit (not that it does not have its problems but most people are coming up with awful arguments)

Capitalism and food for anyone over the poverty line.*
panch4
get a job.
and a lot of people under the poverty line. poverty does not mean they cant afford food,people need more than food to survive
not only that but it does a much better job than any other economic system

https://www.economist.com/news/leaders/21578665-nearly-1-billion-people-have-been-taken-out-extreme-poverty-20-years-world-should-aim
Communist China with it's state owned industries contributed 500 million to that number.
With what money? Oh right from Capitalist countries.
countries and exploiting foreign labourers. It works both ways. 2
With an argument like that you can argue in any way you want. How do Western countries get their wealth? Oh right, importing from foreign 1
Capitalism can exist without Communism. Communism requires Capitalism to exist because it can not exist on its own.
It ignores the laws of economics and human nature.
MonsieurCitrouille
Last I checked the UN is calling out USA for rampant homelessness and starvation in major cities, but what do I know?
compared to other developed capitalist countries. you should really think about the contexts/do a little research. communists have a much
higher level of poverty
Wasn't a comparison friend, merely arguing against the idea that Capitalism and food go hand in hand.
Because for A LOT of people in this country it very much does not

"Communism and famine" would have made more sense, plenty of people starved under capitalism.
not even close.
cpnbeeb
They still do. Shit, stores stock too much bread just to throw it out but will seek damages on anyone dumpster diving for a loaf.
Cheomesh
No no no, you see, it wasn't TRUE Capitalism.
Mostly thanks to communist China using state owned enterprise.
a fuck of a lot less. no one claimed that people dont starve under capitalism
TheArkhamAsylumAccountsPayableClerk

ThePresidentOfStrayaOFFICIAL
Thank you. This sort of transparency is exactly why people become communists.
to be fair tho its better that the weak starve so that the average person can live than everyone starving wich is what Communism offers
also its not true that capitalism starves the weak; the single best economic system for raising the pore out of poverty is capitalism
I would wager less have starved under capitalism than any other kind of economic system which has been tried.
I'd wager you'd be mega wrong.
MechanusIncarnate

ToTheLastDrop
Alright, what's an example of "real" communism, then? Not a hypothetical one, a real world example.
Didn't say there were real-world examples. Communsim is an ideal. Some regimes have attached themselves to the ideal but fall short in 1/2
They are ideologies of State Capitalism.
SecretlySpiders
I’m not even communist but I hate when people make this mistake.
I am also not a communist... I'm just trying to separate fact and myth, to shed light on the reality of the situation
OlElonMusky
I don't like whataboutism but objectively more people have died in history due to capitalism. Think imperialism in 17-20 centuries.
That's classic whataboutism. The highest standard of living ever stems from capitalism. Communism has, without exception, ended in disaster.
I'm not arguing about which is superior or works, I'm simply offering a historic perspective that no system is perfect.
What communism?
Communism has a higher death toll than Fascism, even if you blame every single casualty of WW2 on the Nazis. It's popularity is fascinating.
I don’t understand how it still has supporters. I’m all for 2nd chances, but how many hundreds of millions have to die before you give up?
