Comment on Rent is theft
cinoreus@lemmy.world 1 week agoSorry I didn’t read the second paragraph, my bad. I see, but then if you’re richer, maybe you want more choices🤷. That’s why, like giving richer People some place to spend, a mix of capitalism for richer countries.
I mean, I know communism want’s everyone’s income equal, but then idk if such a thing could be achieved irl

I edited my comment and added the second paragraph, not your fault you didn’t see it :)
Communism doesn’t actually say anything about wanting everyone’s income equal, I’ve only seen this claim by anticommunists before. Communists simply believe that people should earn according to their labor, and not according to the exploitation of others’ labor. For example, the Soviet Union had widespread use of work quotas which, when exceeded, granted workers a higher wage. As an example, the Stakhanovite movement did wide promotion of work effectiveness and of rewarding exemplary workers, both through monetary and through social incentives.
I personally don’t believe there’s much place for capitalism at all, but that’s a very deep ideological topic that’s far beyond the scope of this post. If you’re interested on discussing this, however, I’m very open to this topic!
