California produces 10% of American agricultural needs. If they secede it would be way worse on the economy than these tariffs.

You should learn what communism actually is. It’ll probably help with your arguments in the future. Read a book.

Post scarcity socialism sure as shit sounds like Communism to me. In fact, one of the most important things when evolving from socialism to Communism is eliminating scarcity

It’s okay to believe in communism and still engage in capitalism because you’re living in a capitalist society. Obviously there’s only so much I can gleam without having known the guy myself. But, that being said, I’m a Communist and as a Communist, I know what Communist dog whistling sounds like and I know that, at the very least, season 1 on TNG is chock full of Communist dog whistling

Who told you Communism is when everything is owned by the state? Communism is when society becomes so technologically advanced and so abundant in resources that the state withers away and currency is no longer needed. So, you know, Star Trek. Also, his wife said he was a Communist

Crazy, because all of those countries have an awful history of human rights violations that was only stopped when they were forced to at gun point. Many of those countries have had recent human rights violations too. You’ve picked countries that’re currently struggling with racist and sexist tendencies actually. You should read some UN human rights violation reports before you make stupid claims.

Authoritarianism is not equal to capabilities. In fact, the Soviet space program was significantly more capable for a very long time

Gene Roddenberry was a Communist and I miss the Communist ideals represented in his writing.

Well according to the previous math, they retained 10% of their revenue and 75% of their profits. I know, math is hard.

Tesla apologist

A reminder that the Nordic model of social democracy is still a capitalist society that puts profits ahead of people.

Well I think this article and comment section is a clear indication of the power of this information when used for propaganda.

That’s because it’s being applied to Western standards. China spends a crazy amount of money on social welfare and government assistance. Minimum wage is around or less than 2000 Yuan a month around the country, yes. But, that’s completely ignoring currency exchange rates and cost of living.

Cost of living in Shanghai and Beijing are around 4,500 Yuan. Which means a couple or two roommates can live on minimum wage in the biggest cities. Compare that to minimum wage and cost of living in New York City or LA which is $1,280 a month, costing $4,300 and 1,342 a month, costing $5,576 respectively.

Tldr: how much money you make is only relevant when compared to your cost of living. It’s not hard to live in China on $300 a month.

They’re talking about whatever version of capitalism you call the West. At least that’s how it’s worded.
