Every economic system has created mass murderers and genocides. It turns out mass murder and genocide is just a bad habit that humanity has, and it doesn’t really matter what system of goods distribution you use.

If mass murder and genocide was written into the basic ideology of Communism, then yes, I would agree with you. But it isn’t. Just like mass murder and genocide isn’t written into capitalism. But there are plenty of capitalistic countries that do mass murder in genocide.

Ok, cool we agree

If a company is using slavery, how would you use tax cuts to prevent them from doing slavery?

Yes, also, telling companies that slavery is bad and they shouldn’t do it. I’m not sure tax cuts would be powerful enough to handle slavery problems.

Sounds good, but I do think we need to give the government power to regulate industry and apply pressure to direct the economy generally.

I am not advocating for communism right now. I don’t even know how we would make that work given the size and scale of things. I think fascism is a more pressing problem right now anyway. But I think in the future if it seems like we can make something work that looks a bit like communism and it is better than capitalism and we can remain a democratic society, we should be open to it.

Those are leaders that did genocide, not a property of communism. You don’t need to do genocide to have a communistic system. Communism was the first economic strategy humans did. It worked just fine without genocide.

Also this is a category error. It’s like if someone claimed that capitalism is genocidal. No, it’s not. Capitalism like communism is a method to distribute goods and services. Neither have anything to say about genocide.

Checks notes on Communism…

Doesn’t say anything about genocide here chief.

This is allowed.

If you make them look bad they delete the thread. It’s happened to me twice. I consider it a win, but it is sad that others won’t see how wacky they are.

Hello, I think you look cute. My name is deaf_fish, do you want to get a coffee or hot chocolate some time?

Wait is the article talking about murder as uplifting or are you referring to the comments on lemmy?

Yes, then they shouldn’t say it is “safe” because it isn’t. They should say “more safe”, or be more specific.

For those that didn’t pick it up, this is sarcasm

I am fine with that. Glass half full vs half empty. But if you act on it before you have all the info, you may end up hurting someone who didn’t deserve it.

What? How? Who pinched you in the face in this situation? Who am I in this situation? I am very confused.

We don’t know what situation the landlord is in. Maybe they are also turbo fucked. The human instinct to survive is strong.

Yes, we don’t have enough information to hate the player yet.

In a capitalist society, raising prices on victims due to supply and demand is rational behavior.

The problem here is less with the landlord and more with the system we live in. It motivates everyone to have antisocial behavior.
