Even without interference communism can never work, it's not how human nature works, it relys on everyone being on the same page which will never happen
it's not how human nature works
where is human nature defined?
this is a thought-terminating cliche, not an my argument to be taken seriously
It's in our genetics to engage in a perpetual exponential quarterly growth and make our decisions based on the benefit it brings to our investors. Any caveman could tell you that smh...
E: my god it's a hyperbolically absurd take in memes and even with the caveman comment I still need to /s apparently...
No, but greed and envy is. That's why humans have written so much in the last thousand years about greed and envy.
How does it rely on "everyone being on the same page?" What gave you that impression?
Anthropology doesn't support the idea that humans are incapable of being communal.
capitalism, of course, where utility is only allowed to exist as the unexploited byproduct of a scam, cannot fail. it can only be failed.
I don't disagree with you, but the person you're responding to didn't mention capitalism?
you're right, they could be a monarchist instead. that's much more sensible.
What part of communism relys on everyone being on the same page?
It's right there on Karl Marcos' "All About Capital", basic economics commie
im sorry Carl Marcos is too advanced.
they keep saying 'In one word; ' and then writing a whole paragraph. and why do they keep making economics all political?
The "in one word" bit I believe is a remnant of older speaking styles, but it's always funny. I also really love the abrupt pivots to dunking on Kautsky Lenin makes all the time, lmao
Kind of some level of any system isn't it? In short if a system has a means to power that can tweak the rules. Inevitably will result in one group ceasing the rules, turning them to raise how much they can tweak them, and ensuring they continue to be tweaked in their favor.
Communism relies on a possibly impossible starting point. Theoretically if the starting point were reached, it seems the most sustainable. Whether it's possible to reach that starting point is the great mystery.
What "possibly impossible starting point" does Communism rely on? This reads like someone that hasn't actually attempted to engage with what Communists believe, to be honest.
Yeah I think you hit the nail on the head here. It's interesting to think about how even though communism could theoretically be the best system, it could mean nothing if we don't know how to meet the conditions to achieve it in the first place.
