      Why dont you tell us you have a paper thin understanding of communism without telling us you have a paper thin understanding of communism…

        I think it’s interesting that people always just jump to “communism is when no food,” like there have been no famines or starvation under capitalism.

        Especially when you can note that those problems with food production were basically immediately solved with the extremely deserved death of Lysenkoism.

          Lysenko wouldn’t be a problem in first place, if he bet his own capital on his hypothesis.

            He also wouldn’t have been a problem if Lenin had had Stalin shot in the head so he could be succeeded by Trotsky or Bukharin, but that’s how it goes in a near dictatorship, I guess.

      Is there a reason why you chose to be reactionary on the internet today?

      This isn’t Reddit, you can be nicer than this, and maybe discuss the point about libertarianism that you like instead of just jumping to a bad faith argument against another economic system that neither OP, nor the post has brought up.

      Remember there’s a person on the other side of the screen. Unless it’s a bit of course, but you know better than to take the bait of bots.

      Have you actually read about it from various sources that you cross referenced or are you taking this from your libertarian society that instilled its beliefs on you through culture?

      People in Russia and China were much hungrier and unequal before the communist revolution, look it up. Unless you’re talking about Cuba, which the US tried desperately to overturn and starve.

        He’s reaching for the “it’s not good but it’s the best system we’ve got” from the lib capitalist playbook
