Good quote: On present capitalism reaction
  • Vitaliy_KiselevVitaliy_Kiselev

    To picture world history as advancing smoothly and steadily without sometimes taking gigantic strides backward is undialectical, unscientific and theoretically wrong.

    Capitalism is like cancer, dreams about pulling society to its grave.

    Yeah and most of those strides backwards in the past century have been Socialism in one form or another. Fact.

    LOL.

    Sometimes ideology of ruling class and TV make such a dent in mind that you can write such a thing as you did :-)

    Guy who wrote it has giant spaghetti monster in his head ruling his thoughts. :-)

    Here’s a basic fact. Workers in middle America make $20 per hour. Workers in middle China make $20 per week. Get this or not at your peril. Things from China and Mexico are not a LITTLE cheaper. They are a LOT cheaper. An order of magnitude cheaper. Chinese companies don’t have Democrats protecting their workers and filing lawsuits. They don’t have federal regulations on anything approaching the scale we do here in America. If you can make $200 per month in China you are middle class.

    Whole paragraph is just blatant lie.
    And most other things are some mix of common knowledge, media fairy tales and dark reaction stuff.

    Here's a loveletter to oligarchs. Happy to find out, poverty is like gone now. Everyone is happy! https://www.bostonglobe.com/opinion/2017/01/18/the-superrich-have-gotten-richer-the-superpoor-have-too/CaYUtxTHtAkXYaeteLBdEO/story.html

    To begin with, all eight men earned their extraordinary wealth. Through ingenuity, talent, and immense effort, they created enterprises that provide hundreds of millions, even billions, of human beings with goods and services that make life better, healthier, safer, and more affordable. Moreover, the Oxfam Eight didn’t grow their fortunes by preventing other people from growing theirs. Their wealth may equal that of half the people on Earth (though Oxfam’s methodology is dubious), but the world’s poor have been climbing out of poverty at the fastest rate in human history

    @suresure123 "Yeah and most of those strides backwards in the past century have been Socialism in one form or another. Fact."

    Or the reaction to Socialism by Capitalists. It's a shame a lot of people do not understand the difference between Socialism and Communism.

    Yep, and almost all do not understand that is Socialism also.

    Most people, even mainstream media, think the Scandinavian countries are socialists.

    @brianl

    Do not worry, history of this confusion starts in 19th century. And it is not accident

    People always have been the foolish victims of deception and self-deception in politics, and they always will be, until they have learned to seek out the interests of some class or other behind all moral, religious, political and social phrases, declarations and promises.

    V. Lenin.
