Lol, "socialism is when capitalism" strikes again
Every accusation a confession. Anti-communist propaganda is projection all the way down
Always gotta remember:
Ask a socialist why they hate capitalism and they'll give you a dozen reasons.
Ask a capitalist why they hate socialism and they'll describe capitalism.
If it were up to the lawyers and capitalists and not open source responding to it you'd still be paying to copy files. Imagine that? A subscription for basic utility, and removing it did not "impede competition" or "remove incentive".
But hey, if you want to, I could rig your phone and computer to pay me a dollar every time you copy or move a file, ya'know, since you're in to that stuff.
Capitalists: Communism is when no phone
Communism:
What phone did you post that with?
They made a graphic for it so it must be true!
And when the capitalism resembles the lower one, then "it's not real capitalism", "we need shock therapy", "there's too much regulation", "um, ackchually, the rich person doesn't hate minorities, thus they're socialist", and so on...
Yep, all that stems from lack of class awareness and lack of the study of Marxism
Sure, now draw the stacks of coins to-scale, Prager-U, I dare you!
They're obviously taking advantage of the fact that the average person doesn't realize how wide the wealth inequality gap has gotten. Or, to put it another way, they don't realize how badly they've been, and continue to be, exploited by the rich and powerful...
Prager U is Christian propaganda masquerading as a school. It's the opposite of a school.
Christian propaganda approved by the state of Florida to teach in schools
Christian conservative ancap propaganda to be more precise. The guy behind it was once recorded saying "Government is not the solution to our problems, government is the problem."
I prefer capitalism
Oh cool, that's neat. Wow. Personally I'm only socially communist. But in terms of economics I'm radically communist 
Why?
Because I'm from a country where people know what communism is in practice, and I hate it
What things do you like about capitalism exactly
Communism has never been implemented
So how do you know if it's going to be good/effective?
Because it is scientific and follows materialistic analysis? Whereas capitalism is an idealistic religion.
Every country that was touched by communism is extremely poor or corrupt, on the other hand all people I know including me want to live in places like USA or in European Union
I wonder what happened to all those former Eastern Bloc countries that might have made them poor and corrupt.
Could have anything with US backed color revolutions and the neoliberal looting of their societies?
Nah. Probably socialisms fault
Socialism took the USSR from a late-feudal backwater that just lost the most destructive war in history (to that point) to the first man in space, and it did so in one generation and in spite of two subsequent invasions.
Socialism took China from a bunch of squabbling warlords dominated by foreign empires, where famines were regular and severe enough that people regularly sold their own children to survive, to a modern economic powerhouse, lifting a billion people out of poverty along the way.
Socialism took Cuba from a plantation run by foreign gangsters to cutting-edge medicine and higher life expectancy than the U.S., all while fending off a low-intensity war the most powerful empire in the world has waged against it for the entirety of its existence.
Cuba has higher living standards than the US under a 60 year siege lmao
Never heard that someone want to live in Cuba really
Weird, it is almost like you're in an anti-communist media ecosystem that doesn't broadcast it.
According to a 2022 report from the Cuban Human Rights Observatory (OCDH), 72 percent of Cubans live below the poverty line. 21 percent of Cubans who live below the poverty line frequently go without breakfast, lunch or dinner due to a lack of money. Pensions are among the smallest in the Americas at $9.50/month https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economy_of_Cuba#Wages,_development,_and_pensions
Wow it is almost like when Trump put them on the state sponsor of terror list for literally no reason and Biden kept them there their standard of living has gone down. Shocking.
