Except that at those times, you could absolutely compare slave economies to non slave economies, and the non slave economies were healthier

It’s why during the civil war, the north was so much more powerful than the south

Turns out that if you stifle the potential of half your population, lock them in bondage, and assign a significant portion of the rest to watching them, it’s not very efficient. It’s better to just pay people, even discarding the abominable immorality of slavery and focusing on just economic efficiencies.

“it’s slavery when I work for money” ok clown

Liberals: this is a difficult situation and it’s not one which has an easy solution

Communists: genocide is an easy solution lol

Capitalism is the worst way to run an economy. Except, of course, all other ways which have been tried.

Launching rockets at civilians isn’t glorious whether you’re Russian or Palestinian.

While the bolshevists coopted the unions and turned them into agents of the Party, corrupting them from representative bodies into people spying on the working class for disloyalty

This is just the No True Scotsman argument. Every communist nation has always insisted that the dictatorship is a necessary transitional state so that true communism could be achieved, and been run by parties espousing the need to achieve that communism. Those dictatorships have never truly moved towards that.

Either communism is impossible or communism is dictatorship. You can pick either one, but there’s not another option.

Potatoes are amazing. They grow easily in a wide variety of soil and produce food which has every nutrient we need except for a complete protein. And, they’re a vegetable, so you can tell someone you’re eating your vegetables and then go to McDonald’s for some frenchy fries

You know, it took until 2003 for Russia to remove leaded gasoline from stations. The Soviets never did it LMFAO

but nice try

Comrade, we all know lead poisoning and the need for safety gear are capitalist propaganda! Now, get back in the mines! Production must increase 50% this year, and your state-appointed union representative says it can!

What are you on and where can I get some

…right leaning?

Like I said, attempting to degrade the only left leaning political coalition means someone is hostile to any sort of positive left leaning activism. If that doesn’t describe a given anarchist, then what I said doesn’t apply to them. If it does, then they might as well be a Trumpster.
