I like communism and neurotic thoughts.
Look up criticism of the book. I was not born a communist, study and education of empirical data led to this conclusion: that a Marxist worldview is the accurate model.

You’re trying to convince me to become blind again. Why don’t you read something critical like I did that changed my mind.

The book you suggested is riddled with valid criticism of not mentioning the poor or women + a myriad of other factual errors.

Here’s better books. Ha-Joon Chang isn’t even a communist but comes to similar conclusions.

lol. Lmao even.

Why isn’t Latin America, Africa and Asia more wealthy than the imperial core?
November 23, 2024 at 12:27 PM
Generally speaking yes. Imperialism is the highest stage of capitalism.

You realize currency is a socially constructed universal tool of exchange that is fiat while real resources and political control over is more important than a budget surplus?

Budget surpluses are bad because this is money that you are taxing out of the economy that could be used on your people.

Trade deficits and government deficits in spending do not matter when you have currency sovereignty simple as.

The US gets consumer goods instead of dollars that itself prints? Big woop. Thats a result of spending more on trade than gained by taxation, a non issue.

China has overcome imperialism and unequal exchange due to the communist party of China. They were controlled by the west for so long and the opium wars were a thing.

So now China is actually doing good and that’s because of the leadership of the CCP. Socialism with Chinese characteristics.

No the belt and road is not the same as gutting the global south for capital. That’s delusional.

Just read the Wikipedia article on unequal exchange.

You don’t think at all class or imperialism has anything to do with why some countries are rich and poor?
November 22, 2024 at 4:38 PM
No, Marx is scientific socialism based on empirical data. Unless you present another model that accounts for what he does and the contradictions and problems of capitalism why should I believe capitalism will provide anything good for the working class?

So Brazil is a good country? I mean the freer the market the freer the people right?
November 22, 2024 at 3:25 PM
Why don’t you move to Brazil?
November 22, 2024 at 2:43 PM
Yeah I wish it was that simple too.
November 22, 2024 at 2:31 PM
It’s not. Socialism is a transitionary state from capitalism to communism where the previously subjugated working class control the state and means of production, exchange, and distribution.
November 22, 2024 at 2:29 PM
You think you live in a free society but actually all your opinions are shoved down your throat by media and capitalist propaganda.

If you stop and think for 2 seconds, aren’t all advertisements just propaganda for capitalism? Consume shit you don’t need or make you life better.
November 22, 2024 at 2:28 PM
It’s true lil bro
November 22, 2024 at 2:26 PM
You don’t even have to read Marxist texts. There are plenty of scholars who are not Marxist who arrive at the same conclusion.

The thing with communism is that I’m not deciding because I’m evil and nasty. The contradictions and empirical evidence point to Marx’s conclusions if you just read him.

Socialism is when taxes and welfare
November 22, 2024 at 1:52 AM
Capitalism is when markets

Is that why the USSR was winning the space race or?

November 22, 2024 at 12:52 AM
Are you aware as to what has been happening to Palestine since 1948?
November 22, 2024 at 12:49 AM
No
