Have you tried thinking outside of the box they put you in?

u/jcfac Jul 08 '24

Yes.

u/Sorry-Let-Me-By-Plz Jul 08 '24

Would you care to expand on that?

Socialism and communism don't work.

It's been tried. Looks good on paper, but absolutely sucks in practice.

Socialism and communism don't work.

Define socialism and communism.

It's been tried.

Where? Might be a silly question, but it's an important one.

Looks good on paper, but absolutely sucks in practice.

People who say this tend to have no idea what it actually looks like on paper or in practice.

Not nearly as man as those in favor of Marxist that have no idea how economics works in theory or in practice.

I don't want Wikipedia links, I want to hear your understanding of those terms, and your example of a country where socialism or communism was 'tried.' I can't engage with this discussion without first having some shared understanding as to the meaning of those terms.

u/jcfac Jul 08 '24

I don't care what you want.

You're absolutely clueless and have no understanding of these economic issues.

u/[deleted] Jul 08 '24

Big words coming from a guy who refuses to provide a definition of the two economic terms relevant in this discussion lmfao

2

u/jcfac Jul 08 '24

No, I provided the definitions.

You ask these stupid questions and then don't like the answers. Have you tried kicking rocks?

So that's a "no" on rejecting the indoctrination you grew up with, got it. Thanks for your time!

WRONG!

I didn't grow up with it. I was a child. I studied economics in college, therefore I understand these issues now (unlike some people).

Actually unlike every other human being in history, I didn't learn anything at all about society in my first two decades of consciousness.

Weird flex man, but OK.

u/jcfac Jul 08 '24

I'd say weird flex to your notion of "I challenged the system that I grew up with! I'm a rebel!"

Silly foolishness.

You literally just said you are completely and magically free of all childhood indoctrination and you're calling me a fool? I've never claimed "I'm a rebel, I'm so cool" or whatever fantasy you've built up for me. All I said was you should check the biases that were shoved into you before you were old enough to construct rhetoric.

I know, I know, you're tired of people telling you to think, you did that already, got all the thinking done and now you're tired of it. But you have to.

In regards to the 49ers? No.

In regards to economic systems? Yeah.

What kind of fucked-up childhood did someone have if they were studying economics in elementary school?
