Under capitalism, man exploits man. Under communism it’s just the opposite.
Woman empowers woman?
Communism has been feminism all along.
Under Capitalism, the bourgeoisie exploits the proletariat. Under Communism its just the opposite.
How can the prolétariat exploit the bourgeoisie if they’re not even productive enough?
This isn’t capitalism, thats pretty much libertainism.
Literally happening under capitalism, but do ho on.
Funny how capitalism trends towards libertarianism, but only for the rich.
Yes, that is very correct
Under communism everyone is poor. Under capitalism most are poor
Under Communism poverty is erradicated or close to it. The floor is raised and the ceiling is lowered.
And also a small group of people monopolize power and wealth to oppress those who didn’t
…You’re describing capitalism.

Hmm?
Poverty rates are steadily decreasing in China...
...under every income group.
While homeownership rates have been steadily rising, reaching 90% in 2018
Those are some bold claims to make with nothing to back it up, when in fact reality says otherwise.

A market economy under a socialist state, similar to what the USSR had under the NEP for its first 20 years.
Explain this graph:

Late 1991, but yep, that’s when inequality skyrocketed, as it was illegally disbanded and the former state sliced up and sold for parts to the highest bidder against the wishes of the public at large, causing roughly 7 million deaths.

I’m assuming you’ll actually answer now that the full source is linked, correct? Or are you just incapable of facing reality?
I’m usually quite particular about labelling axes, but this graph has both axes partially labled, and while the dates are easily inferred, the meaning of the left axis is in the footer, as is the general explanation.
Incorrect.
Wealth inequality was far lower in the USSR than the Tsarist system before it, the Capitalist system after it, and than western countries. Additionally, Soviet Democracy was extensive, with far more political participation than western countries have.
Read Blackshirts and Reds.
Also, poverty rates are steadily decreasing in China...
...under every income group.

I’d also recommend Human Rights In The Soviet Union, Including Comparisons With The U.S.A. by Albert Szymanski
Excellent addition, comrade.
I’ve heard lemmy.ml claim China is not communist, before. I guess they are communist only when it supports your argument.
I’m seeing /u/10_0 from lemmy.ml in this thread trying to argue against socialism, currently. I guess they are anticommunist only when… what was your point again?
Anyone claiming China isn’t socialist is grossly misinformed.
Yeah, but that excuse is only used when people are criticising communist using China as an example, that’s why I consider China’s status as a communist nation an opinion that lemmy.ml always flip flops on.
And by what metric is China considered a communist nation?

I have. Which ones do you recommend?

Any russian book? Like This Soviet World? Or does that not count because she was born in America?

And very shallow apparently…
You might learn something.
Well, at least under capitalism a few people do get to live well…
Yep, under Communism everyone lives decently.

True
Well yeah, the capitalist class that exploits workers do get to live well under a system where they rule.

You’re just trolling us now, right? Or are you hedgekid completely divorced from reality?
