Imgflip's formatting is awful, apologies if this looks a bit cluttered.

They look similar because they originate from the same source.

Communisum is better in my opion

Communism in a nutshell.

yes

For most cases, only Communist Party officials are rich.

The difference between capitalism and communism is that capitalism openly excuses exploitation and rewards those who can exploit the proletariat (the working class) are rewarded. If you are of the working class (proletariat) it is reasonably certain you don't have a safety net should the economy fail you. At least, in the economic sense.

Fortunately, we have Socialist systems in place like Social Security, Medicaid/care, etc to help us with that. Hearing people call USA a Capitalist country is only partially true. Their free market represents capitalism, but the programs their government has in place is conservatively Socialist. Right Wing often seeks to eliminate the Socialist programs to increase the revenue of the 1% which has the greater yield of income than the working class would receive (a thousand or two a year at min wage?) While the 1% receive billions.

Meanwhile, they're talking about Tax share vs tax burden. They hate the idea of tax burden because that means an equal percentage of the income to be equitable to the working class costs them more money. This is why some Republicans have called for a 30% universal sales tax to be the only tax to be collected by the US government. It would royally screw over everyone but the rich.

Further, with the free market, there's no cap or laws to prevent the 1% from arbitrarily declaring the prices for their products. If they have to endure a wage increase so that their workers have a living wage, they'll just up their prices to have the same percentage of income.

I'm not familiar with communism as a form of government or political party as that's not what Marx spoke of when I read his works after I heard how he was such an evil person for what he wrote. After going through a semester that was about his book "Das Kapital" vol. 1, I saw that people who are typically critical of him didn't really read his work at all. This, wasn't surprising as those same people claim to have read the Mueller report, but they actually didn't. Those that did, I found were repeating the same talking points as their Media told them to.

Wish I thought about that prior to replying.

I'm sorry, did you not see the three comments before mine that involved politics?

i did

So, you decide to come at me for commenting on a comment chain that was intrinsically political by nature? Seems weird.

I love it when certain Commies casually portray Marx as this chill guy, as if he wasn't a massive racist who promoted white supremacy, constantly cheated on his wife, and starved his own daughters. Hell, he didn’t even bathe. Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot and other Communist dictators in history must've taken some inspiration on the daughter's part.

I love it when people attack character instead of speaking on the content.

If it wasn't so riddled with ad hominem, it'd be a red-herring. Good job, you're good at name-calling.

I love it when people like you and me pointlessly circlejerk each other off by having politically charged arguments on a section of some shady meme website dedicated to historical humor. That means a lot to me.

Hey, if you're cool being funny because you're wrong, more power to ya. In this day and age, everyone (Maga and Libs included) knows that social media and memes while intended to be comical, are used as influence to dictate the current political atmosphere.

Genuinely sorry if my speaking truth to power rubbed you the wrong way. I wasn't trying to put you down.

I do know that this site allows minors to 13 years old (officially) and are thus impressionable. I take it upon myself to speak truth to power and not let this form of propaganda go unchecked.

Because in the end, it's about equality

That’s because being communist is better then being a neo-n@zi or a n@zi

but it's the same thing

Then Hilter wouldn’t be anti communist and would literally be the same ideology

because they were once allies

Im still trying to figure out how Stalin could be that stupid to believe that Hitler wouldn't break their treaty even though Hitler said he will invade the USSR in his own book

Also being allies doesn't mean same ideology

Says who?

Says the meme your commenting on

The meme, then, is wildly inaccurate as is your claim.

Literal Horseshoe Theory 😔

Depends on what side you're on in a nazi regime.

same

Which person?

Don't forget Lenin, the dude who literally created the soviet union

So, you're well versed in Das Kapital vol. 1 then?

So, you're not versed in it?

I am a person who lives the way your supposed to. I learn the history of Moa Zedong who was the oher guy with hitler. I learn what I learn but I don't care much for political standards and places for it. I learned those to as well. But no im not Versed in it. Im just a bit smart as far as the battles go.

So, how can you pretend to understand communism?

I get it; I am just sick of people confusing authoritarian regimes with communism and vice versa.

I'm sorry, what is this a scale of? Because these are unrelated concepts.

Literal Horseshoe Theory 😔

THat's the theory, but I don't think the application is accurate.

LMAO

out of two evils i will go with capitalism

LOL

lol
