    Every single time these types talk about how communist nations operate with family connections and nepotism to promote a small privileged elite I wanna ask them what they think capitalism does

      Well you see, communism bad, so even good things under communism are worse than the same thing under capitalism

      And to get these inferior good things under communism, you must be connected, because everybody dies under communism and hates communism

    :internet-delenda-est: this is a chud but like the radlibs really shouldve known better, land redistribution to individuals literally was a feature in every socialist project ever, even the USSR did it

            I'm pretty sure that libs believe that "eliminating" the landlord means executing every last one of them - rather than mostly reappropriating land and redistributing, thus eliminating the existence of landlords.

    I seriously think your title is a major reason that Americans in particular don't trust AES. It is literally inconceivable to them that a government would do something good for its people without a cynical ulterior motive.

      "We have a bunch of plots of marshy land. What should we do with it?"

      Vietnam: Give it to people who can make use of it locally as is.

      :amerikkka: : Drain the marsh, obliterate local biodiversity, pave it over, build a mall. :surprised-pika: when it gets flooded and ruined because you built it in a drainage region.

        They think it’s because the government forces them to line up for support and if the stats were more negative they would hold it as proof.

        Yeah, the times I have mentioned this pretty much has always resulted in accusations that this approval is only because of fear of reprisal (If the approval was low what would they think, insert Parenti quote here ). How a country could function with close to 100% "true" disapproval is never mentioned.

      I still haven't fully shaken that brainworm. It's getting better, particularly watching China doing cool shit like nuking for-profit schools from orbit, but that reflex to suspect everything is deep in there

        Soon the crypto dipshits will ditch tungsten cubes for tiny plots of land in the desert, and then we will have a crypto-Georgist revolution. Just wait a little bit.
