concientious capitalism is fine

to choose capital returns at the great expense of human life is not

that is the problem

[mazenda]

FUCK capitalism

[zambiassoregenerated]

@tylerafrank A truly free society would never exist, there would always be someone who would be more powerful than another.

[HeadHunteR1988]

@mazenda hell yeah dude fuck capitalism and the imperialism that bring with him.. FREEDOM TO ALL OF US!

[tylerafrank]

All happiness and prosperity is found in Liberty.

Modern "Capitalism" and Laissez-faire are two VERY different things. Why do we allow the government control over everything? In a truly free society, no corporation and no government has power over an individual.

There was immediately a counter-revolution by the right wing white troops funded by other imperialist powers who then themselves invaded Russia as well. There were armies from 19 different nations trying to halt the Russian revolution. This - combined with the civil war which wiped out most of the Russian working class - forced the Bolsheviks take control of the country with their own party in order to keep Russia stabilized. The working class was wiped out and couldn't hold power. No choice.

Lenin and the Bolsheviks didn't create a socialist state in Russia. The workers created their own state in the form of councils for the workplace, the military, the community, etc. The workers rose up and tried to exert democratic and collective control over all of the means of production and resources in Russia. The Bolsheviks along with other socialist groups merely fought for political leadership to lead the revolution. But the revolution fell apart almost immediately.

There's no such thing as a "communist state". You must mean a socialist state. Communism is very different from a society in which a state exists. Lenin defines the state as "the manifestation of the irreconcilability of class antagonisms" meaning that there is a need for one class in society to oppress and repress another (ruling class vs working class) by means of political, military, judiciary, etc. A state wouldn't exist in a communist society because there would be no social classes.

You can say that - but fact is, that the deffinition of Karl Marx of Communism was missundestood by Lenin and other people who try to make a communism state!

They've mad it the wrong way - and that negativ impression is the Communism, which we claim as a political direction of people and a nation.

And even if Russia or China claim to be already a capitalism state: what's born communism can't change that easily. Just read some news or watch them! you will meet lots of contras there

[Xproletariatx]

You don't have to call him an idiot. And what makes China communist? Because they say so? Because some industries are state owned? If you look back at the classical meaning of Communism espoused by Karl Marx, Frederick Engels, Rosa Luxemburg, Leon Trotsky, Tony Cliff, etc, state owned industry is no more communist the influx of wealth going to the top 1% in US society right now. Communism represents a classless society in which all individuals are entitled to the fruits of their own labor.

[RicardoSaid]

LOL, late

[kwolf68]

You're an idiot. China is communist giving capitalists the apparatus to amass their control and wealth. Communists...capitalists...dif­ferent sides of the utopian coin.
