What is up with the influx of communists and other leftists on these boards?

[Dank Sidious]

Most of you here live in a capitalist society, and your lives are enabled by it. Capitalism 101: Companies make money and grow.

And yet, there are a bunch of people whining about companies doing exactly what our great system enables them to do.

People are shaming others for being “corporate shills” for understanding this basic fact. People are complaining about companies securing their investment with Denuvo. People are demanding the ability to share paid products for free on the internet. Sorry, but this isn’t commie land.

Have people like Hasan Piker and his comrades seriously rotted the brain of the youth into thinking that Communism is cool again?

Decide if you want to live with the comforts of western capitalism or the hellscape of Communist China. Oh, and if you are an American and support these commie talking points, you should be ashamed of yourself.

btw i think that chinese gaming market is probably the most predatory and abusive? look at mobile market and all the people enslaved, farming virtual currency and gambling with lootboxes. south korea has the same issue.

A sad state of affairs.

I mean... you do get that two things can both suck, right? Communism can suck and so can capitalism.

And they do both suck. A lot. Equally, in fact.

Not that communism has ever actually been implemented at any real scale, but it has the same flaws as capitalism (though both each has their own unique set of flaws outside the common ones).

Capitalism sucks. Communism sucks. We should be doing better, not fighting over which one sucks more.

Because its not a capitalist vs communist problem.
Its a soulless corpo vs consumer problem.

Stop enabling greed. They want to push the envelope right up to the point to see what they can get away with and normalise.

STOP NORMALISING STUPID.

Its not a complex political issue. Its actually really simple.

Wouldn't be so bad if we had real journalists in the gaming industry but hey ho.
Backlash is the only real option to combat idiocy. Of course this gets obscured by the most mundane nonsense from those journo's more concerned about if there's too much or too little booba depending on their mood.

A Totalitarian Empire is the best form of government obviously, but we can't have everything we want. Sadly, it just creates bunch of commie rebels that will ♥♥♥♥ everything up anyway, Trust me I know.

Modern form of Capitalism is the next best thing we have.

It's impossible to properly implement communism because you can only distribute resources equally through the use of force.
Europe's still got the best system objectively speaking.

Honey wake up new leddit copypasta just dropped.

omg sidious roleplaying 10000%

[DAVOS CENSORSHIP 2030 FTW!!!]

Capitalism only sucks Donkey ♥♥♥♥ because the Old Dusty Vampires aren't getting regulated properly ( Money gives them God Mode to ♥♥♥♥ on everyone ) so it eventually turned into an Extremely Corrupt Authoritarian Corporate Plutocracy instead of AN ACTUAL Competitive Free Market where the Consumer is always right.

The jester award and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race.

The USA is the only advanced economy that has no basic consumer nor worker's rights. Americans are corporate slaves.

Yeah, enforcing a classless and stateless system is basically impossible. I don't see any way to accomplish it. Especially in a world where other countries exist. What, are they just going to ignore this country without a government and no defenses?
