Topic	Communism: Give a man a home and he will think of how to fill it
scar_the_1 09/08/23 3:38:41 AM #264:	andel posted... capitalism being flawed doesn't somehow absolve communism, a failed ideology, of being infinitely worse. bangladesh is an emerging economy that is modernizing and is certainly a better place to live than any communist society ever was. I'm not trying to benchmark against failed "communist" societies. Not only did many of them fail because of active sabotage from the west, they also quite rarely feature the main principle of socialism (i.e., workers controlling production), so they're not really relevant. I don't like the USSR, or China. Both examples of state capitalism btw, where a centralized and totalitarian state controls production, not the workers. What I'm saying is that capitalism, by design, exploits workers. And see if people working in Bangladeshi sweatshops, or the people who live by the previously clean waters now polluted by textile production are happy about the supposed "emerging economy". --- Stop being so aggressively argumentative for no reason. - UnfairRepresent <cite>scar_the_1 posted [p:975932523] in Communism:...
