That's not communism
That's just Stalin

 

[foidmogger]

That's not communism
That's just Stalin

stalin was a communist

 

[_wayland]

why

It's just a political econ theory

 

[foidmogger]

what makes it good

politics are a big circus for jesters and monkeys. but its just overall a shit option

[submissivechud]

And?
Jim Jones was capitalist

[_wayland]

I love progressive left-leaning economic policies

Just my personal view

 

[foidmogger]

And?
Jim Jones was capitalist

well jim jones didn't kill anyone from my family and didn't turn my whole country to shit, so i think he wasn't that bad

He was bad
A persons actions has no affect on whether an economic style is good or not

 

[foidmogger]

He was bad
A persons actions has no affect on whether an economic style is good or not

but his acts were caused by his ideology, simple as that

 

[submissivechud]

but his acts were caused by his ideology, simple as that

A humans ideology isn't just their economic belief
We are talking about communism, how did it make Stalin kill some of your grand parents

 

[foidmogger]

well it happened during one of his policies such as dekulakization
you need to know that my great grandparents were kind of rich russian farmers but stalin was killing all of that social class then to make collectivizaiton

where do you live? i agree communism is complex it would fix a lot of world issues theoretically if we implemented it for like 5 yrs then went back to capitalism

 

[foidmogger]

where do you live?

very deep province in Russia

I would say, it was mostly bad for my country and my family but its still gives vibes from my childhood, so i can't fully dislike it

Really good for social services and improving a countries overall wellbeing, sucks for capita gdp and personal freedoms. Better than capitalism but I'd say socialism is the best possible economic system imo.

 

[bloodprincess]

I honestly believe communism is the best we have, better than capitalism

why did it fail

 

[bloodprincess]

why did it fail

USSR spent way too much on military rather than the people, also the way their leadership was structured it was easy to let people like Stalin rule without being able to hold him accountable etc. I don't really think the USSR was a good implementation of communism.
