What is it with these commie types that they believe communism will leave everyone to become hippies who can do whatever they want and all required resources just magically arrive when they need.

It really is watching children believe in Santa Claus

If we didn't all work to produce excess wealth for the super wealthy, we'd have 20 hour workweeks. People can do a lot with that extra time.

Yeah I don't think pure communism is the answer, but neither is pure capitalism.

Let's find a compromise between "equality" and "fuck you, all for me".

That's just a false compromise argument promoting a middle ground that doesn't exist

Ah yes, because everything you do is to meet societal needs and not to make more money for the 1%. That's why 34% of wealth in Canada goes to the top 1%.

The Christ was a literal bearded, sandle wearing, hippie that told y'all to go live in communes and protect each other and The Earth, but I guess your omnipotent, omniscient God doesn't know what he's taking about.

I love how you just assume that capitalists/socialists are all Christians lol

The fuck do I care what a 2000 year old prophet claimed about an even older warrior god from the middle east?

Im sure that 6000 year old ancient Jewish patriarchs definitely knew the god of the entire universe and it just happened to be the god they selected from their pantheon to be the best god. It's almost like everyone thinks their god is the biggest god, and none of them have ever proven to exist.

do whatever they want and all required resources just magically arrive when they need.

"Whatever they want" is creating and distributing those resources, but I suppose labour is magic to you.

It seems like they believe they can be a gardener vs a farmer. That's the only bit that I see that isn't realistic.

Enough farmers, here's your pickaxe. You're going to farm coal.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Fuck that! Your little children and old grand parents can mine coal! You need to build our rail line!
