Comment on A perfect visualisation of a wasteful system
dangblingus@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 months agoThe Weimar Republic was also deeply economically fucked because of repayments made to the Allies post WW1. There’s a little bit of history you’re casually ignoring. It wasn’t a systemic failure of “social democracy”.

I’m not ignoring it, hence why I said the presence of some systems doesn’t necessitate all consequences of similar systems.
Their point was that because Communist governments have committed genocides, Communism itself is synonymous with Genocide. This is absolutely false, nothing about collective ownership of property in a Stateless, Classless, Moneyless society necessitates that the collective itself be evil, hence why I made that point.
It’s fully possible to make coherent points against Communism without resorting to pure ad hominem and mysticism, and I’m fine with people making those points, as discussion adds value.
