            The one I sometimes hear from communists is that communism has never been achieved. Anyone else saying that shit is basically making up a guy to laugh at.

                I mean yeah, I guess that's my point. Real socialism (and thus communism) have been tried, unlike the dumb chud joke.

            when you point out to AES they’ll say they’re front capitalist countries lol

            "Okay, can we do some things from those 'capitalist' countries, then?"

            "No." :frothingfash:

            Trots, left-communists and some other anti-communist left do tend to parrot this line

      You can have an oligarchy that's not capitalist, though.

      You could even have non-oligarchic capitalism, briefly, before it inevitably morphs into that.

      I once saw a bumper sticker that said "Everything I needed to learn about Islam, I learned on 9/11".

      I feel like this is the American approach to most concepts other than Marvel movies and football statistics

    Sampling method: Respondents were selected from YouGov’s opt-in Internet panel using sample matching. A random sample (stratified by gender, age, race, education, and region) was elected from the 2018 American Community Study. Voter registration was imputed from the November 2018 Current Population Survey Registration and Voting Supplement.

    Not that I doubt most Americans have no idea what any of these words mean, but this polling is even faker than most polling

    Polling_USA posting America's Ls and their own Ls simultaneously. Impressive.

    If that's the "actual answer" why did they leave it out of their poll?

      pretty sure this account just posts recent polls conducted, and does not actually commission polls

    Where the fuck outside of Galt's Gulch has capitalism being anything but an Oligarchy?

    I mean you could argue during late mercantilism/early capitalsm the state and the market was suborned to the interests of the crown... but that just makes it another fucking oligarchy!

      No that makes it a feudal aristocracy. Oligarchy is a bit different, but it’s correct that it’s identical to modern capitalism
