    We kinda need something like socialism instead of the broken capitalism but Stalin is the total(itarian) opposite

      Right? The fuck is this shit?

      Capitalism helped the economy grow to a point where scarcity is no longer an issue. I agree that now we need to reign it in and work on our distribution systems, but idolizing Stalin? Whoa…

        It’s pretty easy and quick to notice that those stalinists support the capitalist hegemony in the name of “material conditions”. Same excuses capitalists use. People should just shut up about problems and wait nicely under the boot until the benefits some beautiful day start trickling down. Reaganism with extra murdering steps.

    The problem is not capitalism. The problem is how some entities, whether abstract or fully identified, cheat capitalism for their own benefit. And that’s not an exclusive problem to capitalism. Communism had (and has) that problem too. No system is free of cheaters.

    I hope socialism will win, but without these motherfuckers or their ML “comrades”. I do reject marxism-leninism and all of similar ideologies because they failed, and also because I don’t want to be oppressed and then told to my face that it’s better than being oppressed by CEOs.
