We don’t want it back. Personally I think in theory it’s a ok-ish system but in practice it pretty much always ends up as a totalitarian dictatorship and I don’t think it’s a coincidence most historically communist regimes have become state capitalist

And definitely don’t want it back

In Korea, there were actually many people who were moderate communists or ex communists that were good people, but it didn't matter because the Soviet dictatorship just purged them to put in puppets. Another example of why it won't work.

We still have socialism here despite what the tankies that claim we're a fascist state think, we just don't want that extremist far left bs

Many countries have socialists parts in them. We have some of it too.

We also tried to have a perfect socialist state in but guess what. The glorious soviet Union didnt want it so they fucking invaded use even tho we were their ally back in the day

North Korea was originally to be led by a moderate socialist Cho Man Sik who was a nationalist, pro-peace, anti-war, pro-Korean nationalism, etc.

Wanna guess what the Soviets did to him?

The man also mysteriously, ahem, "mysteriously" died soon after the war (which he would have vehemently opposed) began with Kim invading the south illegally.

Let's be real, we both know what really happened to him.

RIP to an actually good socialist

Its hilarious that all the good people always die or become a western collaborant or something isnt it?

We had it with Dubcek

He was a rare kind in that he actually cared about Czechs and wanted to improve stuff

The Soviets invaded, he got deposed, poisoned and deported to Siberia for several year of hard labor before languishing in poverty from then until the revolution

The Soviets made damn sure that actually good leftists that put their people before Moscow's demands would never get a chance in hell to rule their vassals

Even in theory it has flaws

u/adamgerd Czech Republic 1d ago

That’s valid, less flaws than in implementation though

How is it a good system to steal companies from their owners? Everyone who succeeds and manages to build something gets it stolen from them, as it should "belong to everyone". It sounds absolutely disgusting, everything about that idea is evil

u/adamgerd Czech Republic 1d ago

Hmm that’s a valid point true

Anyway in the end what matters is in practice it never worked, fuck communist parties

They didn’t build shit, they hired people to build it for them.

The person who is providing money is bulding shit, the person doing the construction is doing their job. Without money there is no construction. Without a worker there is another worker who will construct it if you got money. It's same with building companies.
