Capitalism is the root of evil

Because at then end ,power over the people is given to the state. When you give the state the means of production and that state falls under the sway of humans with power, you get corruption and death.

Once a place has enough people, anonymity happens. We stop knowing our neighbors and leaders. We don't see the corruption they can now hide. Communism gives an easier way to leverage that corruption and power more easily

Socialism, more specifically forms of democratic socialism ( and with today's tech it can be one vite one person), is far more scalable and stable

We need a new constitution with more power given to the people and LESS to the state

Not quite. Dont get me wrong capitalism sucks and we should get rid of it, but for example colonialism is older than capitalism and part of its cause. So is colonialsim the root cause of evil? not quite again before colonialism there where still a lot of repressive and very hierarchical societies so again to frame capitalism as the root of all evil is ignoring a whole bunch of other repressive systems that are older but are certainly strengthend by it.

So if you want to simplisticly frame something as the root cause of evil then it would be "opressive hierarchies are the root cause of evil". but maybe im biased here since im an anarchist

i want memes, not politics

Yeah communism isn't any better so the both can fuck off

uhh, anarchism clears lol

To paraphrase Bernard Shaw, Communism might be a good thing if anyone ever tried it.

Workers of the world unite!

Edit: not that I'm into that sort of thing... I've taken history classes, I've read about, I've watched documentaries, I understand that communism is not to be desired or

Socialism allows for both public and private ownership, individual freedoms, and democratic decision-making, while still aiming for social equality. Communism, in contrast, tends to involve total state control and often limits personal freedoms.

Every -ism is bad when bad people are in charge.

I call bullshit on this one

Greed is the evil.

This would go harder without the hammer and sickle. Communism didnt fail; the ussr did.

Ah yes, get rid of extremism with different extremism. I think we've been there already. Spoiler: Didnt work.

Maaaaaaybe the USSR isn't the best example of a better society we want to be building.

I'm watching the whole ideological-purge thing happen in the US and it kinda sucks.

Luigi's hand doesn't look anything like that. Someone fix this meme

I don’t get why every Reddit alternative needs to be filled with these weird political ideas. Communism, Fascism and every other form of extremism only leads to misery.

I’m sure capitalism is flawed, but you can make it work better. Any of the Nordic countries works as a great example. And no they aren’t perfect but nothing ever will be.

I thought memes were supposed to be funny... this just looks like a propaganda poster

"capitalism is evil"

so what's not evil?

"a totalitarian socialist shithole, where you got no freedom or human rights"

The desire to dominate and the willingness to act on it has existed in a fraction of the population since before humans were human. This is the root of all evil, capitalism is a specific manifestation of this impulse that has only existed for some 400 years. If your analysis starts and ends at "capitalism bad" you miss the vast majority of oppression that has existed or will exist.

(Hierarchical) Power in general is the root cause, not Capitalism in particular

Last I checked the USSR didn't do so well financially, and Russia is basically a criminal empire.

Capitalism is a system and just that, it has no moral, therefore cannot be evil. The red hand without the ussr symbol would make this image more unified.

It is the symptom, not the cause. Greed is the cause and it has been around a LOT longer than Capitalism.

Greed, not capitalism is the root of evil. Fight me.

I'd say 1 person owning most of the money made at the company is the problem

To solve it everyone just needs to form or join a private unionized cooperative that doesn't go on stock market for sustainable growth and so everyone at the company is making a lot of money too

Then collectively you all grow the pot that is available for all of you. Better to all be making 1,000,000 each and then grow it together to become 10,000,000-100,000,000+ for each of you

That is the root issue. Not enough of that

"X is good, Y is bad." It rarely is that simple.

Keep pulling until you get hierarchy out.

And communism doesn't work because we're selfish

Amazing! (commenting so there aren't 88 comments 😤)

Capitalism breeds fascism. As long as we have capitalism we will fight fascism. Communism is not the answer though nor is any extreme ideology. Social direct democracy or even sociocracy would be better systems.

Yeah, there's nothing worse than a bunch of billionaire shitheads, using the media they control to keep the lower classes fighting with each other while they . . . the rich . . . run off with all the farking money. Oh wait, that's what's going on Russia, too.

There are no "good guys" here. Just billionaire assholes exploiting everybody.
