Do you believe Communism and Socialism are the same thing.

[1blackman1]

The righties on this thread seem to conflate the two. smurfs are true communists which is not what’s being promoted by any communist nation on earth.

[1blackman1]

Why would anyone confuse these two

[Levianon17]

No they are not the same. Neither one is all that great.

[Jackie S]

No, they are not the same.

But both have one thing in common regardless of their initial promise.

They will both morph in to an authoritarian “Thugocracy” where the final solution for those who dare to question those in charge will be “put against the wall” or shipped off to The GULAG.
Truth is, I would be all for either as long as I was on top of the political pyramid.
I would have the likes of AOC, Bernie, and all of those who were naive enough to buy into this utopian idiocy shipped off to Siberia to hoe spuds in the snow.

So why does China get allied a communist country when it isn’t. And why do the people on the right deny the fact that the US has significant socialism.

Nope, we don't get them confused, but you are splitting hairs on differences. Like I mentioned in another thread, just differences on when the shoot or jail you if you don't fall in line.


Central government planning is a total disaster every time. Even China opened up part of their economy to more capitalism to keep food production going.

And Armand Hammer said Lenin, himself, told him that Communism wouldn't work.

As for the question at hand, under socialism, an Olympic athlete will live next door to you and have the same style of life as you.. Communism, they will be treated to a better extent.

it doesn't work. never has. never will. the "socialist utopia" is nonsense meant to fool the masses that "everyone is equal" when this clearly isn't true.

socialism aka communism has failed.

vote democrat. vote socialism/communism. let's be this ..







not.

You've forgotten your Marx blackman. According to Marx (and it has not been proven right yet), agrarianism gives way to feudalism which gives way to capitalism which gives way to socialism which gives way to communism. All very tidy.

Communism is socialism at gun point.

Socialism is economic, Commuism is political.

Barley got a pretty good gauge on it.
