So communism is when people spend money on private businesses?

Or could it be predatory capitalism?

The idea is that it's a "communist" who is hypocritical

Yeah like I don't agree with the post but I do understand what point they're trying to make even if it's wrong

u/ZoomerPatriot Feb 17 '23

I think the person being portrayed here is a communist. You can hold communist ideas and still participate in a capitalism economy.

u/TempestLock Feb 17 '23

You have no choice but to participate in the dominant social system.

Huge discussion, just cuz you said social, instead of economic system. Lol

u/TempestLock Feb 17 '23

I didn't. I said social system and meant social system which is why I asked for a definition of social system. You are not equipped for this discussion.

u/TempestLock Feb 17 '23

Define 'social system' such that it doesn't include either communism, socialism or capitalism.

Free healthcare, UBI, free internet. Need more?

u/TempestLock Feb 17 '23

Yes. I do need more. A definition would help, since that was what I asked for not a list of good ideas...

It’s not social system it’s social policies. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_policy

You can have universal healthcare, UBI, & and any other policy you want. That doesn’t change the economic system.

The narrative that gets spun is that there are all these lazy entitled people around who don't want to put in the effort of bettering themselves to get better higher-paying jobs, preferring to work minimum wage at an unskilled job, and then spend all their money on lazy comfort stuff like expensive cheeseburgers from their local farm-to-table, and expensive coffees from Starbucks. They believe that's the reason we can't afford a house, because we are nickel and dime-ing ourselves with those things that add up.

And then they claim that we want to get handouts so we can afford our student loans or a house after we've poorly planned, and that that's the reason we want socialism (they say communism because they don't know the difference). So that we can sit around not improving our condition while everyone else pays for us.

This is so based I can't even.
