Thank you for ignoring everything I said, even the points about the polio vaccine that you thought were a slam-dunk for capitalism when in fact, they only supported my points.
Did you Google "what's wrong with Marxism" all by yourself? Well done. That article is horeshit and seems to quote Thomas Sowell as if he wasn't just a shill for corporations and the free markets. You're a member of the proletariat, start acting like it and stop simping for corporations and rich people. You'll never be rich or like them, because the system is designed to not let you ever achieve their wealth.
My side? I have never voted for either conservative party in my life, GOP or Dem, so why are you trying to put me into this box? Does it make my arguments easier to attack when you pretend I'm a "libtard". Liberals are conservatives just like you, they say the right things sometimes but they never intend to follow it through because they don't want any material change. They support free-market liberalism after all, capitalism.
Absolutely NONE of that can be attributed to capitalism, it just happened to come about when capitalism was the dominant market model / ideology. What a silly assumption to make, this is about as good as Adam Smith's take of: "Animals don't trade on a free market, therefore it's intrinsic to humans".
Also, I LOVE the fact you used the polio vaccine of all things. Not only did he create it with government funding (in your mind this is COMMERNISM) but he also did a very socialisty / communisty thing with it - he made it patent free so some greedy capitalist couldn't make money off it and cause more suffering through withholding it.
Even more hilariously, the Sabin vaccine created in communist USSR was invented slightly later than the Salk one (5 years), but the commie one was oral and easier to administer, so it has ultimately saved far more lives than the capitalist one invented in the USA. Hilarious isn't it? You chose the worst possible example to show how communism actually isn't what you think it is. So in short, yes, communism does allow for inventions like this, so why are you saying they don't?
ChatGPT can even easily disprove your "argument":
The Soviet Union (USSR) made significant contributions to medical science and vaccine development during its existence. Some of the key advancements include:
1. **Polio Vaccine (Salk’s and Sabin’s vaccines)**
- The **Soviet Union** was one of the first countries to use the **oral polio vaccine** developed by Albert Sabin (which is different from Jonas Salk’s injectable vaccine). After its development in the 1950s and early 1960s, the Soviet Union became a major player in testing and distributing Sabin's vaccine, which played a key role in polio eradication worldwide.
- The USSR made significant strides in mass immunization programs, helping reduce polio in many regions.
2. **Smallpox Eradication**
- The USSR was a key participant in the **global smallpox eradication program** led by the World Health Organization (WHO) during the 1960s-1980s. They played an instrumental role in eliminating smallpox through the use of the **vaccinia vaccine**, which was a key component in the strategy of "ring vaccination" and mass immunization campaigns. The USSR's efforts in Central Asia were particularly crucial in eradicating the disease in those areas.
3. **The BCG Vaccine (Tuberculosis)**
- The **BCG (Bacillus Calmette–Guérin) vaccine**, used to prevent tuberculosis, was widely used in the USSR.
Notice how you didn't reply to my comment below because I showed you how conservative and neoliberal the Democratic presidents are and it didn't fit in with your world view? You're in a cult and you want me to be in the cult with you, but just as your "enemy". I'm not, the shared enemy between us are the people that control everything, the capitalists, the elites... You vote for these elites and simp for them while hating the people they want you to hate, instead of themselves...
Funny how you didn't reply to my question about your attitude towards how deadly the free markets are? Also, anyone getting in the way of the worker's revolution should be dealt with just like the CIA deals with people who get in the way of the US brand of "free market" capitalism...
