I don't understand the fascination with communism of this community

[Colonel Death]

Sorry that I have to potentially spike your annoyance meter instead of some poor redditor but Reddit requires that you wait time before you can post when you have a new account.

So I played this game for a while on a friends console and started reading some threads in the subreddit out of boredom and I noticed that a lot of people long for communism while admitting that not even communists like other communists. How is that "perfect" system supposed to work with real people? When we all have chips that control our brains then it becomes plausible, but none of us would even be truly living.

Capitalism is fine. Nothing motivates people to achieve and progress better than the prospect of personal gain. You can provide for others, have a piece of mind and invest in things that you believe in that will be developed by other people who seek personal gain. It's the best system for real not imaginary in some communist book humans. Not to mention how capitalism and the industrial revolution has made our population numbers explode, % of starving people decrease, advanced countless sectors like technology, medicine etc and made reading books a part of everyday life for most people with the printing press. It's hard to believe, but not that long ago most people just weren't reading and writing which is crazy. And also western society has gotten much better over time. Just the fact that we have massive discussions about our past and some current events automatically makes us better than anyone else and you can't argue with me on that.

I appreciate that the community seems to criticise Stalin, Mao etc as much as Hitler and Churchil etc at least. It seems like most people in here simply daydream about a perfect world instead of whining about eating the rich or simpling for the dictator that just happened to call himself the right 'ist'.

"Capitalism rules, communism drools." Wow now we know why you're not on reddit, Mommy and Daddy won't let you on it till you turn 10 next year

You just can't handle the truth. Or open a history book.

What's your favorite history book?

Probably The Rising Sun. It's about Imperial Japan from 36-45. Japanese people and culture are just different. But admittedly I haven't read even 1/10 of the books I want to read. Just not enough time to clear backlogs.

You didn't ask for a review you dirty commie. Everyone knows they are different. There is more in common between Nazis and Commies than any European nation and Japan. I haven't listened to any Jordan Peterson interview since he was on Joe Rogan the first time, but if you hate him so much he might be worth following.

Capitalism is literally killing the planet but ok.

I had the great opportunity to visit both parts of Europe during Cold War era (1980-1989). Western block - overall positive attitude, care for environment, care for each other; Eastern block - destruction of environment, pollution, people avoiding each other, overall scepticism. In which sense communism wasn´t killing the environment?

Everyone knows that these modern communist simps are ultra sheltered and divorced from reality morons.

The truth is the same on both platforms. You can't escape it. Communism is a failure.

Dude get off Steam forums it's passed your bedtime

capitalism is so great, except for when its slavery or children working, or abusing employees, or abusing power, or making people work for long hours, or to not allow people to rest, or to not offer lunch breaks, or to offer people lower than the min wage. literally look at the federal governments long list of regulations. Every single one of those regulations goes against the capitalism you love so much. If we let capitalism go full out it would be literally 40k Imperuim. The game also openly mocks all political and economically points of view because its ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ dumb to not be fluid in ideals, imagine accepting the good and bad of one economic view instead of aspiring to create one without flaws of either.

Communism is a failure. Just like your attempts to insult me.

Every system has good and bad points, but to pretend as if the last 200 years hasn't shown us that capitalism is better than Communism in every way is laughable. You suffer from the mental disease 'grass is always greener on the other side'. It's not. Grass is greener where you water it. And only capitalist societies have enough money to water the grass and find more efficient and even moral ways to do it. Meanwhile in Commie land the slightest bit of reform crushed everything because people saw how much BS their lives have become. You failed your parents who wanted out of the USSR.

Capitalism is responsible for the decline in hunger % and increase in population over the last 200 years so Africans have no right to complain about capitalism. Just keep in mind that no matter what you say about capitalism, COMMUNISM IS WORSE IN EVERY WAY.

I have no idea how someone can think that by doing less we would end up achieving more. That indicates that you started having an idea(replacing capitalism), but stopped halfway through(not realizing that thanks to capitalism we have achieved more in the last 200 years than the previous 2000. Oh and if we don't conquer more planets one day we will surely end)

or "we will surely end". that's literally empires; "expand or die".
what you guys are talking about is what empires do when they aren't allowed to expand.

market has always been tied to agriculture and hunting, and even in ancient times, it wasn't considered an "achievement" to hunt things to extinction or to not rotate your crops.
so let's not act like that has anything to do with capitalism.

When we expand to more countries by showing them how much better we are life will become more peaceful. We just need places like Russia and N Korea to make a mistake and their governments will fall quickly people everyone knows that the west is best.
