I dont agree with communism but id say im pretty close to that(socialist prob) but this is such a bruh moment.
So are you trying to say you’re a socdem or what?
Probably not that into politics
Was trying to ascertain how much they knew, if they can't even answer if they're a soc dem I'd have to send them to like second thought lol
Second thought is very good
yes, especially for extremely new leftists
Maybe I’m wrong for this but I don’t think recommending Youtube channels is a good idea overall. For specific questions, videos are fine but I think just actually reading easy to understand theory is a much better starting place we should recommend
idk a lot of people really resist reading works, I would never reccomend that you stop at yt vids but they can be helpful to people who aren't really politcally educated in the slightest and plant seeds for future development
What don’t you with about communism?
I think people would just lose motivation. I lived in ireland for 5 years and they basically had ubi and people wouldnt get jobs they would just sit in lawnchairs in parks and then buy a some food, alcohol and a new iphone out of it. Still no job, house or anything else. I think food and basic housing should be a right but if you want a proper phone, a nice car (aka stuff) you should work for it. Income should be "capped" with tax. If a ceo earns 10 or 100 times what a cashier earns its not a problem compared to todaus world where a ceo earns a million times more than a cashier. And all that tax money could go to housing, food for the poor, infrastructure, free public transport so people dont get cut off from better paying jobs, etc. I think it would be a pretty solid system if implemented right but im just a random teenager so i have no say.
You seem pretty open minded, I think you would find a couple of these videos interesting, by a youtuber called Second Thought if you've heard of them.
Here he directly addresses the claim that people won't work under communism : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O9CFP_58mBc
From the sounds of it I could probably safely call you a Social Democrat, he has a video on that topic here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TRq3pl17C8M
