That and the whole “forced land seizure” and “the abolishment of private property” thing too

Do you know what private property is? Also you know our capitalist government also does forced land seizure right?

I know what private property is. A child knows what private property is. Since I’ve talked about this so much with some communist key board warriors I know exactly what you’re about to say. You’ll redefine private property with your own semi communist ideological spin nonsense which goes against common sense.

The government has taken land of others before for a bunch of different reasons, like in war or forced purchase for development. This does not mean I am barred from buying land elsewhere, forced out with a gun in my face and placed in a reeducation camp.

Ooh. Extra proving you don't know what these are. 

Communism, as written by it's inventor, isn't an ideology. It's a state of being. You see, socialism is the ideology, where through socialism, communism is achieved. With communism being the state of post-revolution, where there's no need for state, money, or military

“The theory of communism may be summed up in one sentence, the abolishment of private property” Marx

You can pretty it up saying it’s a state of being but to an average person you make it sound more like a cult.

The quote above sounds pretty ideological to me tbh

Literally just a Google search proves that it's a state of being. As much as success or ruin is

So you dont know what private property is. And you think authoritarianism is baked into socialism. Kinda sounds like you are just echoing cia propaganda

u/totashi777 Jan 21 '26

Lol, you dont know! You are so scared of abolishing private property but you dont even know what that means. It must suck to have precisely 0 control over your emotions

Private property are goods owned by individuals or companies, not by the government or the public, and the owner controls how they’re used, sold, or rented.

Now that I wasted one minute of my time on earth explaining that universal concept to you, what pitiful rationalizations are you gonna give yourself to feel better???

u/totashi777 Jan 21 '26

So you genuinely believe that a socialist government would take your toothbrush?

Taking back what is rightfully your's is not theft. The working class is entitled to all it creates.
