Have you ever had an experience talking to someone with little to no knowledge Veeky Forums? I had one with a co-worker recently
>cold as fuck outside
>usually wear one of thise Soviet ushankas from the 80s
>outfront
>"hey annon, what kind of hat is that?"
>"its a soviet ushanka"
>"woah, are you nazi?"
>mfw
anyone else have a similar experience?
Every time I browse through the catalog on Veeky Forums
yeah, one time I wore my Ushanka with the soviet badge and everything, and someone called it a "hitler hat"
This is bait.
my mum asked me who the guy on the new £5 note is
i felt like slapping her there and then
What's his name again?
Bertie Bigginbottoms
to be fair, Russian government in the 40's was definitely fascist.
why would you wear a ushanka? especially if you are American
Comminists cant be fascist
Good thing the Russians weren't communist.
There has never been a functioning communist society and there never will be.
It's a half baked plan.
A proper, functional socialist or communist nation is entirely possible, but it's contingent upon a society naturally evolving into one, little by little, over a long period of time.
We pretty much need to have a post-scarcity, highly/fully automated labor force, before such a thing might be feasible.
Yeah, every day on this board.
It's not a terrible deduction for someone who is ignorant of history, if you see a neckbeard in milsurp its a 50/50 shot they are a nazi
>A proper, functional socialist or communist nation is entirely possible
If we're playing* find the idiot*, I think I won.
>it's contingent upon a society naturally evolving into one, little by little, over a long period of time.
No, it's contingent on equality and overwhelming sacrifice. Things that are not natural or even beneficial to people.
>We pretty much need to have a post-scarcity, highly/fully automated labor force, before such a thing might be feasible.
Post scarcity isn't a thing. There is no evidence for it beyond the very questionable theory. Fully automated labor force will mean that we don't need all the labor we have. The population would need to massively decrease yet automation is having the opposite effect. It's like you don't even want to glance at rebuttals.
>Have relatives that I haven't seen in years over for thanksgiving
>sitting at the dinner table
>start chatting with my uncle who calls himself a history buff
>he doesn't talk about anything other than WW2
>i try to steer the conversation away by mentioning Otto von Bismark
>"Was he in WW2 user?"
>see the interest in his face disappear when I say no
>"you know user, i just find history outside of WW2 so boring"
>mention some good books that might change his mind
>"oh i don't like reading books user, i like those movies that they do on the television"
>realise this asshole's entire understanding of history comes from the Hitler documentaries on history channel
I just want to have a normal conversation with people about history that doesn't involve WW2
Fpbp
Lol. You don't know dick about technology, gramps.
Also none of what I said is inconceivable. Give the world a chance to debrutalize, and you'll realize we're more than just savages with tiny computers. The far reaching consequences, and potential, of the recent technological boom, aren't something you can extrapolate based on prior human history. It's incomparable.
Have pic related set as the lock screen on my phone literally any time someone sees it they think it's a nazi propaganda poster
Also, you're describing old school communism, which I thought you admitted wasn't even real communism, with your spiel about massive sacrifices.
You make it sound like the average human has no purpose beyond menial labor when you say automation will be counter productive to population increase.
We don't /have/ to make everyone work for everything. We're already at a point of staggering surplus. It's simply mismanagement of resources that is holding us back. The old world economic systems aren't meant to survive into the next era.
This.
