Democrats actually think that spending 10's of billions every week and trying to start WWIII in Ukraine was what the people wanted.

Democrats thought that spending 10's of billions on housing, feeding and providing cellphones to millions of illegal immigrants, while causing record homelessness of American citizens was what the people wanted.

Democrats thought that the mutilation of prepubescent children, in some cases without the consent or knowledge of the parents, is what the American people wanted.

Democrats thought that allowing men who claimed to be women beat the crap out of women in competitive martial arts is what the the people wanted

Democrats thought that American was on the same page as them when it came to defining what is a woman.

Democrats are members of some mind controlling cult that tells them that massive inflation means a good economy. And because inflation magically went down a fraction just before the election, that the inflation was getting better. Because Democrats just do not understand that inflation is a government policy and not some mystical workings of the economy. The government creates inflation buy printing (or digitizing) too many dollars causing the value if our money to drop, which causes prices to skyrocket. That same government can also lower the inflation rate just before an election. It's not corporate greed. Corporate greed is a conspiracy fantasy.

You work for the benefit of society. Thus society becomes your master. In capitalism the needs of the individual come first, and by filling them the needs of the community are filled, as all communities of any size are made up of individuals individuals.

A communist believes that individual freedom isn't a thing because freedom is mere privilege unless enjoyed by all

The problem with communists is they always claim that all previous attempts at communism was not really communism and they will get it right this time.

The very core of communism, as defined by Karl Marx, is extremely flawed and leads directly to the authoritarian rule that the communists deride. There is nothing in Marxism that allows the individual the freedom to determine how to live their own live as they best see fit without any interference from the government. You just cannot take away all private property ownership rights and all political power and claim that it is freedom.

To do so means you do not understand freedom.

Anarchocommunism
1 up, 2d,
1 reply
There are two types of anarcho-communism. One uses the idea of social anarchy to tear down so that a totalitarian communist regime can take it's place.

The other is pre-Marx communism. People voluntarily form communes in order to survive. Not too far removed from that are farm coops. Jewish kibbitzes. The "united order" in the early Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. There are hundreds of not thousands of different examples of that.

Marx was not interested in the later because he thought his idea of communism should be global. Everyone on the planet should live under his vision of communism.

The first type of anarcho-communist I mentioned are just communists. There's really no reason for the prefix "anarcho" because they are not anarchists.

The second type of anarcho-communists are the true original pre-Marx communists. They are not interested in world domination (at least I hope not). I don't care about them. They are no threat to my way of life or my liberty. The can form communes and be happy for as long as they want and I will never have a problem with that. And if they keep it all to themselves they can even worship at the alter of Karl Marx if they want to. But the minute they turn into narcissistic freaks and start demanding we all live that way then I am done with them.

If you want to take all of your freedom and live in a commune and give all of your freedom up to that commune (if that is what the commune requires) then that is your life. I will never tell you how to live it. Just like if you are a hard core Marxist I will not prevent you from moving to China or North Korea.

Where I have a real and very serious problem is when you try to influence politics in my country in such a way that I and everyone else loses freedom on your quest to turn my country into some 3rd world Marxist regime. You can find yourself on the business end of a gun barrel over that. I will not give up my right to self determination. Nor will I give up my morals or my God.

Fascism is a leftist ideology that has been mislabeled right wing. The extreme right is total anarchy, not more authoritarianism.

You're not getting it. On the left (and really it doesn't matter what side you make the scale but it is just common to use the left so that everyone knows what we're talking about) is communism, socialism, Nazism (because Nazism IS socialism), fascism, monarchies, oligarchies, dictatorships, statism and all other authoritarian rule. That is all on the left.

This isn't a popularity contest where what you like is on the left and what you hate is on the right. It is a freedom scale.

All of the authoritarian total government rule, no individual liberty is on the left.
Total anarchy and voluntaryism are on the right.

This the freedom scale and that freedom is that of the individual, you, me and everyone else. You can either have zero individual freedom on the far left or you can have total absolute freedom on the far right.

Their is nothing but negative on the far left because evil people have taken everything away from you and you have no rights or freedoms.

On the far right you have total freedom but you have to spend far too much time defending yourself and family from evil people who want to take everything away from you.

That idiotic scale invented by Progressives trying to hide who they were (Hitler supporters) put authoritarian rule at both ends and somehow you were supposed to find freedom in the middle. But that is the scale that is taught in schools and most people believe without even thinking about it.

Nazism is National Socialism. The adjective "national" does not change the Socialism that Nazism is to make it a far right system of government. Fascism is a socialism spin off. And again, it is authoritarian rule. And the crazy thing is that Karl Marx is the major influence in all fours variations of statism.

Before you get fully committed to the idea that communism is freedom first talk to someone who has escaped that freedom. Talk to anyone from Cuba. Go visit North Korea. Despite what communists like to tell themselves, that actually is communism in practice. And they are doing it right. Communism is pure evil invented by a lunatic who knew absolutely nothing about capitalism. Marx never worked a day in his miserable, pathetic life. He wrote plays and poems idolizing Mephistopheles. He alienated all of his friends. Most of his kids committed suicide. He hated everyone. He was filthy and rarely bathed. And you think this pompous idiot gave us the greatest quasi-economic/political system in the world??????

Actually the left is more democracy and the right is more autocracy. You're the politically illiterate one. Leftism is anarchism, communism, and socialism while the right is capitalism, fascism, and dictatorship.

It's all about equality and democracy. The more someone seeks out equality, the more left wing they are. And one who wants hierarchy is more right wing

Democracy is more left than right, I'll agree with that. Democracy is just another example of a political idea that will collapse. Democracy is two wolves and a sheep deciding what to have for dinner. Democracy is tyranny of the majority. Even though going back to our founding we have called ourselves a democracy but that is just false. We have always been a Constitutional Republic. The early 20th century Progressive statists now use democracy as a mask to hide their tyranny behind. They did the same thing with the word "liberal".

True anarchism is the antithesis of Marx's communism and Marx influenced socialism. It just makes absolutely no sense whatsoever that you would try to equate them with each other. And to say that freedom

Unfortunately for the terribly mal-informed anti-capitalists, there is just no way to destroy it. None of the communist nations, none of the Nazis, none of the fascists and none of the socialist nations have ever been able to squash it.

The reason why is capitalism IS freedom and people want to live free. What you are supporting is the anthesis of freedom. It does not matter what kind of propaganda you have bought, you simply cannot find freedom in any kind of Marxism. Marx even knew that but he didn't care.

Equal people are never free and free people are never equal. We are born equal but just like runners in a race, people will always finish that race at different times. That is just human nature and human nature is what Marxists do not care about.

Anyone who hates tyranny and loves freedom RUNS from Marxism and all of the trash economic ideologies. No one wants to live in a communist, fascist, Nazi or socialist regime. The world is not rushing the borders of nations who subject their people. In fact those nations have a history of actually walling their people in and shooting them if they try to leave.

But the world has been trying to make it to America for decades. Cubans risked drowning them and their families just trying to escape communist Cuba.

They come here because under capitalism people are free to have a chance at a better life.

Communist nations have only been able to offer abject poverty, misery and death to their subjects.

Do you know what capitalism is? It is the free exchange of goods and/or services. It is just buying and selling, nothing more and nothing less. That's why it can never be killed because people will always exchange items, even if it is a barter system.

So please explain to me how my buying groceries is tyranny?

That's not capitalism. What you described is commerce. Capitalism isn't equal to commerce.

Capitalism is when the means of production are privately owned and workers are hired

Commerce is what happens under Capitalism. You can't have one without the other

Actually what I am talking about is free market economics. Marx come with the word capitalism, gave some bogus definition and then trashed it.

Marx's hatred of the free market has permeated our culture and people with no clue what the free market is just continue to trash it.

The irony is that all of the crimes of humanity that capitalism is alleged to cause are actually caused by Marxism. Income inequality is worse under communism that any other economic system ever devised by man. The rich power elites get richer and every one else lives in abject poverty. Communism brother, fascism, lightens slightly the control over businesses but allowing business owners and employees to keep their jobs but this creates a destructive alliance between business and government. The government still controls the means of production, they just allow business owners to share a little bit in the money stolen from the people. Communism just throws the business owners out and replaced them with "experts".

The free market is the free exchange of goods and/or services. Nothing else.

A truly free market can only exist in anarchy because there is no government to interfere with the exchange. However, a very small and limited government, like ours used to be, can create pretty close to the same amount of prosperity as a anarchistic market.

The freer the market the wealthier all people become. Combine that with morality and you have the United States of America in its first 100 years. Take the slavery that we once had out of the equation and you'll see prosperity like no civilization has ever seen before
