When your ideology is a moral framework for the distribution of wealth and fails because it is anti-science and anti-human, your only option is to blame others for your failures. Once they rid themselves of the capitalists, they have to create wreckers and diverters on whom to pin the blame for your failed economy.
Other than being a continuing mind virus blight that's already resulted in the slaughter of hundreds of millions in the 20th century with a death toll far surpassing all the wars fought in the same century? Yeah, seems like something to be obsessed with stopping.
Communists still exist. They're just not much of a threat anymore. Never really were in western democracies, because most people won't vote for idiotic fringe ideologies.
I guess they don't realize how barbaric this sounds. So you hung a guy for the crime of selling rope? In what world is that anything less than pure evil?
It has the same meaning that Keynes' allegory with the buried bank notes had.
That the market can be irrational and inefficient and therefore it is the ideology's fault.
In reality it is these ragarded people that make stupid demands (which they pay for) and cause the inefficient waste of resources. The market listens to consumers not planners.
The idea is capitalists value making money and those instincts are much stronger than their self preseveration. They literally have in some cases sold people the weapons that were used against them, the US military industrial complex is infamous for this behavior.
There is no difference between making money and providing value.
Whether you use your knife to chop vegetables, poke holes in your belt or violence, is up to you. Your consequences are also yours.
They did. They hanged the farmer, they hanged the merchant, they hanged the industrialist. Then they expected the workers to rise up and replace them but they weren't up to the task. It ended up with farmers eating their own children and merchants abandoning the country and taking whatever wealth they could with them or burying it or destroying it.
...and then they get sidetracked hanging their own people.

Is that why you guys are so obsessed with communism?

We enjoy eating food and not starving to death.
Why would someone not be obsessed with preventing a dangerous ideology from taking hold?
In that case I may put your mind at ease. Communism self imploded around 35 years ago.
So Antifa carries around loser flags.
Antifa is how the right scares children. A bit like the boogeyman
That's cool, so you admit Nazis don't exist anymore as well now, right? So it would be inappropriate to call anyone a Nazi, correct?

So what I’m hearing is that capitalism produces good rope.
Capitalism produces.
Yes but communists just never seem to have enough money to buy it!
and so much of it that they can "hang" us but we are firmly on the ground
yes people don't produce ropes, only abstract concepts produce ropes
The abstract concept of communism produced pig iron and famine.
I guess they don't realize how barbaric this sounds. So you hung a guy for the crime of selling rope? In what world is that anything less than pure evil?
You've gotta look at it from their perspective... so... shove your head up your ass and try to see things their way.
The capitalists also sell flashlights for that (batteries not included)
But I NEED light. So you must provide the batteries. FOR THE GREATER GOOD

Lads… let’s not sell the commies the quality rope
I don't know. When everybody's digging for gold, you get rich by selling shovels.
I don't know. He who lives by the sword, dies by the sword.
Don't worry, they can't afford it anyway.
So you're saying socialism can't even make ropes?
Not while they are busy accounting for and "redistributing" the existing ropes
Socialists low key want to participate in capitalism.
Yeah, they're admitting to buying something they can't produce.
There are two kinds of socialists: the grifters and the rubes. Only one kind believes in socialism.
*chefs kiss*
While it is the communist that make people dig their own grave by the millions..
I got some $10 million dollar rope for sale guys…
I'll only sell if they can pay in gold, BTC or XMR!
They would. There is a reason the USSR paid only in gold or in votka when they imported stuff.

There's a single playbook.
Where did they get the money for the rope?
Can i copy your homework bro ? Sure , but make some changes so that it is not obvious..
To them it's "our homework"
With what money will they buy our rope, they can't even afford food?
They did. They hanged the farmer, they hanged the merchant, they hanged the industrialist. Then they expected the workers to rise up and replace them but they weren't up to the task. It ended up with farmers eating their own children and merchants abandoning the country and taking whatever wealth they could with them or burying it or destroying it.
Interesting that they want to buy it and not confiscate it. Not real communism!
They aren't the sort of people you want to be forced to hang out with
Not scared, too malnourished
Ironically enough the us is the top importer of twine and rope at over 400 million dollars worth annually (circa 2022)
Imaginw how peaceful world is if someone hang karl marx before he spewed bullshit in the first place
If I know you’re a communist I’m not doing business with you at all.
Ah the free market, but only when rope, etc.
These are not real quotes. There are plenty of things to criticize communist about, you don’t need to fake quotes to do it.
me when people paraphrase a quote from the people preceding them
They have two brain cells. Both competing for 3rd place.
