    Capitalism is when you have treats.

    Socialism is when you have a treat.

    Communism is when Stalin eats your treat with his spoon.

        What's hilarious (or depressing) is that nearly 100 years ago now Americans still had these fucking brainworms. In 1936 Anna Louise Strong wrote:

        Most Americans shrink from the word "dictatorship." "I don't want to be dictated to," they say. Neither, in fact, does anyone. But why do they instinctively take the word in its passive meaning, and see themselves as the recipients of orders? Why do they never think that they might be the dictators? Is that such an impossible idea? Is it because they have been so long hammered by the subtly misleading propaganda about personal dictatorships, or is it because they have been so long accustomed to seek the right to life through a boss who hires them, that the word dictatorship arouses for them the utterly incredible picture of one man giving everybody orders?

        amerikkkans have never had a mindset of taking matters into their own hands and being the ones to dictate their society.

    When your political understanding doesn't extend past the "Two Cows" poster in middle school.

    Capitalism is where everything is owned by an individual

    porky-scared That's just not fair! Everything is split between 4 or 5 of us at least!

    ...

      was gonna say that, bit of an unintentional admission when they say "an individual" as opposed to "individuals"

    I saw communism defined on reddit-logo today as "when one corporation owns everything and the people suffer under it" as opposed to now where a small few own everything and make us suffer.

    Did not engage.

        For whatever reason, the conversation didn't center around the idea that corporations shouldn't own everything. Steering it there was just going to get me nowhere. I have a head cold today, so if I wade back into that comments thread somehow, I'll post a link.

      It's entirely possible they were literally taught exactly that in a poli-sci class, or at least a highschool civics class. All of those are just basically just brainworm infestation programs.

    Under communism i will be the Minister of Toothbrushes. only those able bodied workers with more than 20 teeth will be allowed to have them. toothpaste will be distributed at the state general store in pea-sized packets twice daily before meals. the only drink allowed will be orange juice.

      As opposed to liberals, who do not blindly believe, instead they see capitalism ravaging the world and burning down nature and say "hell yeah brother". A better world is possible, to believe that doesn't make you blind.
