Turn back stranger. This thread is full of people arguing about history and political theories without any clue about either.
Hold my ideology, I’m going in!
Hold my common sense, I’m wading into a political comment section!
Please tell the world about how awesome communist rule is while in a free democracy. Please let those starving people in those concentration camps in China know how good they have it.
Please go on. Enlightened us.
Communism doesn’t automatically mean authoritianism. And you think China isn’t capitalist? Enlighten yourself bozo.
Lol yes, abolishment of private property and government ownership of the means of production doesn’t automatically mean authoritarianism. How could I forget? To control a government best thing is to give them more power, gotcha. Thanks for clueing me into your logic steel trap dawg
My authoritarianism comment was in refrence to the “free democracy” comment, homie. Sorry if you need those things spoonfed to you. And state ownership doesn’t automatically mean public ownership. China is a real world example of that. Thanks for clueing me into your idiocy, dipshit.
China really isn’t. They gotta jump through some wild hoops to do business over there. Apparently the way they exchange value between companies is via some share of inventory for sales or whatever. It’s complicated AF, so I don’t know how to explain it.
Julan Du and Chenggang Xu analyzed the Chinese model in a 2005 paper to assess whether it represents a type of market socialism or capitalism. They concluded that China’s contemporary economic system represents a form of capitalism rather than market socialism because: (1) financial markets exist which permit private share ownership—a feature absent in the economic literature on market socialism; and (2) state profits are retained by enterprises rather than being distributed among the population in a social dividend or similar scheme, which are central features in most models of market socialism. Du and Xu concluded that China is not a market socialist economy, but an unstable form of capitalism.[18]
That’s from a Wikipedia. I’m not going to pretend to have a strong grasp on it but it’s state owned enterprises that function, essentially, as private (separate from government). That combined with production for profit > production for use makes it way more in the capitalist spectrum compared to Marxists ideology. Especially considering their human rights record.
That’s fair enough I guess. They’re trying really hard to not be capitalism though. 🤣
They really aren’t. Try being more attentive to the world.
You think that a commune can’t have voting? Well that says enough about your level of understanding. Would you really like some light on the definitions of words, or do you think you’re just bringing some slam dunk “haha commies bad” you learned from your grandpa?
Nice talking points 👍👍👍
Well, it’s not a fair argument but non-communist countries have starved a lot more people to death than Communist countries ever had, but something tells me you’re not really here to learn anything or that you care for fair arguments.
A communist calling someone an idiot is the absolute unit of irony. Even if it’s Piers fucking Morgan.
I regret looking up the clip: https://youtu.be/jNFOVkB6JjQ
Sorry to say to my UK friends, it looks like these people have no manners when it comes to debating. Asking a question and then proceeded to shout over them. I’m surprised they still have viewers.
That’s typical journalism on ITV and Channel 5. BBC has its moments but it’s not as bad. I simply can’t watch news on these channels for this reason.

No need to apologise as Piers Morgan does in fact not represent the UK, I’m fairly certain that he is almost universally disliked.
Obama pretended that flint Michigan’s water was safe to drink.
That alone is enough to show you how much of a scumbag he is
Obama is one of the best conservative presidents.
Outsmarting Piers Morgan is about as difficult as obeying gravity.
Imagine being a Marxist in 2024, how embarrassing 😬
Account is less than a day old, engagement is pointless.
Remember when he asked the supermodel what the “first five digits of the Pythagorean Theorem” were because haha stupid women? Then he got super owned because he meant to say Pi? What a complete wanker.
Even if that went the way he wanted who the fuck needs to know more than 3.14? memorization is not intelligence
It is, however, what stupid people think intelligence is.
Thank you! Having the skill of a piece of paper and a pen being compared to intelligence is pet peeve of mine.
Not to mention knowing pi beyond 3.14 is useless.
Piers Morgan blocked me on Xitter, back when I had an account there. It was the highlight of my brief time on that platform.
When they sacked Clarkson for hitting a producer, I was like: But he also punched Morgan, shouldn’t he, like, get one free for that?
I am amused by the fact that Piers Morgan is so daft that he manages to piss off a guy who fellates his car and bike loving commie hippies.
He called him a “lazy Irish cunt” when he punched the producer for not being able to magically produce a restaurant quality steak at midnight.
Idk if you know anything about old gammon pricks, but that wasn’t a simple observation that the guy was Irish.
conservatives are really good at arguing against what they imagine leftists to be and really bad at arguing against what leftists actually are
Some basic facts about your hero Stalin
Had a cool hat alter ego called rainbow stylin
Same response applies tbh
Yes because all reds support Stalin, like all fascists support trump. Please.
Cool mustache, terrible everything else.
Hitler or Stalin?
I’m not a fan of Hitler’s moustache.
Both are among the worst humans who ever existed.
I think it looked cute. Definitely worked a lot better on Charlie Chaplin.
Defeated Hitler.
And a lot of his rivals.
And non rivals.
And civilians.
To be fair… soviet Russia should’ve absolutely steamrolled Germany with even a half decent leader.
Stalin almost let Hitler win by being just about the dumbest fucking leader on the planet. And that includes whatever idiot was leading the French.
Interesting! When does he get owned?
Obama is a capitalist so someone who is a communist would have no reason to view him as a hero
But someone who is a communist wouldn’t exactly be owning anyone right?
It’s always the baby accounts with this nonsense. Like 5 sad guys tops, making new accounts just to spew bullshit. Get a better hobby.
Isn’t that a joke about property and communism? Not being able for a communist to own anything?
But that’s not even ultimately true. Infrastructure and utilities should belong to public.
No one, and I repeat, not a single oofing one, is going to use your dildo.
So you don’t like jokes huh? Sorry ChillCapybara think we need to talk about your username lol
Only if that someone was given to him by the state.
The brainwashing really got this guy good.
Woosh…
Jokes are tough to handle sometimes!
You’re a joke.
Ahh yes, that idiot who asked the guy why concrete doesn’t grow on trees.
No wait, that’s a different idiot.
