Prove it was socialism that improved cuba. Prove tesla isnt sucfessful because of capitalism. Explain to me why china and iran government are so similar in their treatment of individuals and so close despite china treating muslims so bad. Prove to me its not against the planets well being that iran permits china to vaccum the ocean floor in persian golf. Prove to me that china setting up bitcoin mines in poor villages in iran abusing cheap electricity and consequently causing electricity shortages is not a crime against humanity.

People need to be taught that property ownership is not even beneficial for them if they value housing. The state can and should provide secure tenancy. You can live in a state house your whole life without any issues. Not only that, but all repairs are done for you. It is also less commitment because you can just leave whenever you want without having yo deal with you the housing market.

There is no benefit to owning a house vs living in a state house outside of the selfish need for profit and fear of the capitalist system these people will defend.

The only reasons property ownership exists is because people want to pass a house onto the kids who then sell it. They only want to do this because capitalism has taught them that housing is not a right and we are all out for ourselves. The other reason property ownership exists is because people have been abused by private landlords.

It blows my mind anyone wants to own property. I lived in state housing most of my whole life until I started living in a caravan last year. Never had an issue with state housing. It is secure and convenient.

If the argument is that they do not trust the state with housing then that argument also applies to private property because the state has the power to confiscate that.

Property ownership also exists because people want a choice in where they live. They have specifications and desired locations and are willing to pay for them.

How do I control what state house I get? Do I get any say in the matter? Because if I do them everyone does and then that creates a massive conflict of housing immediately.

If you get a free house why wouldn’t everyone just migrate to NYC, San Fran, Chicago, DC, LA?

DUDE i just LOVE the hustle and bustle of the big city, it’s so DYNAMIC and makes me feel like i’m in one of my favourite TV SHOWS. you should totally come on down to my studio apartment, it’s got EXPOSED RED BRICK walls and everything, we can crack open a nice hoppy ipa or three and get crazy watching some cartoons on adult swim! and dude, dude, DUDE, we have GOTTA go down to the barcade- listen here, right, it’s a BAR where us ADULTS who do ADULTING can go DRINK. BUT!!!! it’s also an ARCADE like when we were kids, so we can play awesome VIDEO GAMES, without dumb kids bothering us. speaking of which megan and i have finally decided to tie the knot- literally -we’re both getting snipped tomorrow at the hospital, that way we can save money to spent more on ourselves and our FURBABIES. i’m f***in JACKED man, i’m gonna SLAM this craft beer and pop open another one!!!

To be clear, I am a communist and hate other communists denying the genocide in China. It makes us all look bad. I go on twitter and see communists absolutely shilling China, denying genocide and defending NK on some level. It sucks and they are not helping our cause. They make us look like absolute crazy people.

All I’m seeing is people upset they can’t get a 300k house to live in when some people don’t have anything

That’s really most of this argument boils down to

Are y’all really that selfish and uncaring that you’re concerned with how YOUR life can be better under capitalism? Not ignoring those that have been exploited or will be exploited for you to have your ridiculously specific 8 story mansion

At this point, I just need to know. Are you a wannabe capitalist? Do you not understand the theory enough, are you fundamentally confused as to what socialism is? Apolitical entirely, blind to the facts, etc.,?

I simply want to know how one can live in this world, with all the failings of capitalism laid bare, and still not search out that better alternative.
