This is something I find odd. There are allot of communist groups on Lemmy and more and more Americans think they like communism probably because they don’t even know what it is. However what’s funny is there has never been and is currently NO communist countries in existence.(FULL COMMUNIST) Literally.
It is an actual imaginative concept and its just strange none of these people realize it. I don’t care if you’re communist. But just do it, like make it happen so you all can see the flaws in it and realize its wishful thinking.
I’ll tell you why communism doesn’t work. It’s missing the root word (community) you all don’t come together outside of online groups and occasional marches.
So have you noticed this?
UPDATE: Not one country named yet. Some odd reason capitalism is being argued about. Deflection? Who knows. The question has come to a conclusion the answer is communist in fact do not know that communism is not a thing in the real world. Thank you all for your statements, positive and negative. I will no longer engage in this post amongst you.
I’ve been banned from politics communities on Lemmy for asking pro-communism people to give me an example of a successful communist country lol. The mods know they can’t, so they censor.
That’s because it’s always a bad faith question and people who ask it are never interested in actually discussing it or learning.
It’s also a problematic question because different people have different ideas on what constitutes “success”. A free market capitalist will consider all socialist states to be failures, while a communist will consider all capitalist states to be failures. So what metric do you use to measure success?
I’m not even trying to make it “political”. I really want to know if they notice this or are they going with the let’s dream about it vibe.
I get that - I’m just saying that the pro-communism people know that they’re selling a lie. They know communism doesn’t work - or at least they’re too stupid to be able to put 2 and 2 together and get 4.
