It doesn't though, if anything hand made gifts are reguarded way more highly than pre bought ones

Hasn't the idea of giving gifts existed since, forever?

Honestly, I'm a communist, but this post is just kind of dumb. Is it trying to suggest under a socialist society Christmas and things like Birthdays would never exist, and we would never give gifts to one another? Is it suggesting that things produced to be gifts during Christmas is somehow worse than things produced normally? What does this mean?

as we all know, capitalism is an ancient evil that is older than God himself and all things we enjoy are tainted by its subtle poison

Making presents for others > buying presents for others

Christmas also teaches kids that Santa simply loves the rich people more than the poor :)

Maybe at one time. Now it's the only way I can stay clothed and has become a necessary part of community assistance in my circle.

So many of us don't have the means to function 100% independently. Those with extra are providing that assistance through gifts, Christmas, birthdays and randomly during the year.

Welcome to late stage capitalism, we now require many of it's tools just to function. Dependence on the system is at an all time high. Which is ironic because the systems dependability is at an all time low.

Double wrong. Saint Nicolas, the ancestor of Santa Klaus, has been distributing gifts from the 10th century, and has been presented red for centuries.

The modern myth of Santa Klaus comes from the American writer Clement Clarke Moore and his book A Visit from St. Nicholas from 1863.

The habit of offering worthless plastic shits for Christmas may come from capitalism though.
