Capitalism is the root of evil

Workers of the world unite!

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

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.

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

"capitalism is evil"

so what's not evil?

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

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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

Yeah great, because what we need now is soviet propaganda. This needs to die

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

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

Keep pulling until you get hierarchy out.

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

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

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

And communism doesn't work because we're selfish

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

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.
