no, THIS kills communism

because capitalists have food

By being able to feed themselves.

It's a really great example actually. People don't care about what is actually great in the long run and just want something that provides them with the most basic and shallow of enjoyment. It's just too good for ordinary people, be it a commoner or elite

Hedonism?

communism, just like capitalism, are ilusory utopias that promise things they do not have. Hence, time wears them both down into nothing, depending on how much is promised, the faster it is degraded.

Communism ate capitalism. That shit you own that says: Made in China? It wasn't made by the best man for the job or for the best price it was made by communist slaves, user. Lets be real.

>It wasn't made by the best man for the job or for the best price it was made by communist slaves, user.

communists slaves that sell their labor the cheapest

communism basically only works as a method of slavery to artificially undercut production and employment costs.

This kill misojuhnee and the patriarchy

Communism was in practice just a propaganda front for dictatorships while capitalism was an actual economic structure and social and political force.

Nixon's overtures to China helped open up the economy which made trade less threatening. When Mao died their political establishment lost interest in totalitarian control and Deng could implement his reforms.

The Soviet Union's war in Afghanistan and economic stagnation demoralized their political establishment. It became clear that the "nomenklatura" wanted to trade with the west and violent suppression of demonstrations in the eastern bloc would be a disaster.

Commies pissed off the Muslims (who were allied with the capitalist West during the Cold War).

Muslims raised oil and gas production to insane levels in the late 80s, causing oil prices to plummet and wrecking the Soviet economy (which was based on exporting oil). They also bled the Soviets dry in Afghanistan.

An army marches on its stomach.

I can already tell this site is full of shit

Honestly? Over the last century or so both have combined to form the world we live in today.

...

Planned economies are inefficient in predicting the needs of consumers, and these needs become necessary to meet after the basic needs (food, shelter etc) have been taken care off.

The free market leads to much needed innovation and variation. Competition and liberity are necessary for any great society.

/leftypol/ please

communism is not competitive, it cannot function in a capitalist enviroment, you need the whole worlds economy to make it work

when americans make 25 different shit burgers and market it as gods gift (while its plastic shit but looks good on picture) you cant expect your citizen not wanting to try that, eventhough you make perfectly good quality and healthy sandwiches available to them for cheap

I'll just leave this here.

Our capitalist system is a house of cards built on the surface of debt. The vast amount of profit is made by moving money around, not actually producing anything.

I was with you until the jab at creation science.
Into the trash your post goes.

user, we are still here.

Capitalism encourages growth and creativity.

Communism kills creativity because your profit will just be stolen by the government and redistributed, so there is no incentive to create new products or even work. That's why the Soviet Union was such a depressing shithole.

Capitalism is forced altruism, because you have to provide something to me in order to live. Both parties benefit.
A free market of exchanges and commerce creates wealth.

Communism is Satanic. It's anti-God, anti-man, it goes completely against our nature. It's an attempt at a forced utopia, by whatever means necessary (including violence and subterfuge). Marxism and Fabian socialism are absolute cancer.

The idea of communism is itself marketable. That's why communism fails.

Millenial teenagers are attracted to communism because:

1. They don't understand economics.
2. They don't understand capitalism. They bought into a straw man:
>hurr greedy corporate white rich guy in a bathtub full of money like Scrooge McDuck while the workers slave away
3. Socialism appeals to your emotions and feelings. It doesn't provide logic, facts or reasoning, but it makes you feel good
4. They graduated with a useless degree in Lesbian Dance Theory or some SJW shit, and then complain they can't find a job

The best way to combat this is to educate the young people about history and economics.
Read up on Thomas Sowell, Milton Friedman, Hayek, etc.
