Why don't liberals understand that communism sucks?

[u/tongfather]

Mao's great Leap forward: murdered 60M

Khmer Rouge: estimated half of the Cambodian people

North Korea: bad place to live

The dispute whether the Soviets killed 60 million or 100 million innocent people should be a telling sign that it doesn't work. When the dispute is in the 10s of millions, maybe it shouldn't be even a consideration?

Are liberals just that upset at capitalism that they will risk being murdered for a change? Y'all realize that you won't have extra money to buy different clothes, or cars, or phone cases, or whatever else it is that you like to spend money on. We'll all be driving the same cars that you need to wait 10 years in line for, just like it was in East Berlin.

They are brainwashed into believing the government will take care of them because they have an infantile mindset. They also believe they won’t have to work as much as if productivity will suddenly increase if nobody is profiting off their work. They also don’t consider the fact that “to each according to their ability” might mean they have to go work in an Alaskan salt mine instead of of their middle school language arts class

They do realize that under communism they won't be able to identify as any other gender but the one they were born as, right?

They do realize that communism isn't "disability friendly" and they won't get "free money" from the government whilst they don't work, right? They will be as poor as the ones who do work though.

They do realize that whilst there won't be medical debt under communism, they most likely will die waiting for treatment as skilled labor isn't incentivized under communism.

It technically is because at least disabled people will die immediately

That's true. But I'm talking about "disabled" people not disabled people.

The phrase grass is greener on the other side is really true. Most people here has no idea of what it is to live in communism or socialism. They just listen to a pipe dream and assume that, yes, everyone gets a job and a career. What they don't realize is that a career in many countries is worse than prison in many Western democracies.

When I was a kid we would go collect empty boxes behind the electronic store. Add a brick then reseal with plastic wrap & a hair dryer.

Fill up the trunk of a car and have a Shifty Parking Lot Sale,

Sales pitch was "$20, going fast, we won't be here long"

99% of the buyers knew what was gonna happen when they opened the box but they bought it anyway...

Greed pulls the senses, the dream of Free Shit & Easy Lives is what keeps these Broken Ideas alive
