Meaning? You think that the world should be communist and then we'd all be happy working in our vegetable garden? I'm responding like that because I get so many facepalmingly stupid responses from people who actually really believe that with communism they would get freedom. I don't even know how to respond to that, because its so mind bendingly stupid. They complain about all the starvations in capitalist countries.
WHERE!?
I can point to countless famines in communist countries with millions upon millions of deaths. But capitalism? Its currently riddled with problems, yes, we need to do better, tax the shit out of the rich until they are at normal levels.. But famines? In a democratic capitalist country? Where?
Its just mind blowing that people can be THIS dumb. Read some frigging history for your own sake.
