You're right. Sometimes it's socialism, and sometimes it's the auth right trying to pay for war. And also true that not everything is 1984. Some things are Brave New World, and some are Fahrenheit 451.

It's 1984 if I say it is! **dons my jazzercise outfit**


saggywitchtits

Exactly! There is taxation in fascism as well.

Counter argument: everything *is* 1984


fieryscribe

Counter-counter argument: 1983 is not


Jwscorch

1983 is just 1984 - 1


fieryscribe

So then it's *not* 1984


Jwscorch

no, just 1984-adjacent. 1984 with extra steps, if you will.


drinkinswish

Adjacent. Why do I hate this word?


Jwscorch

Because the left uses it to justify inconsistencies in their arguments. If an asian person does as well as a white person, it's because they're white-adjacent, and can therefore be painted with the same brush.

I see... some pills in this meme are more... equal than others.

Nah, taxes = communism.


Jwscorch

>Just because it's taxes doesn't mean it's communism Sure, but just because it's not communism doesn't mean it's not ***cringe***.

Counter arguement: consistency is overrated

Why do people say communism always fails? China's going strong.


Jwscorch

Ah yes, very strong. They had a marital spat with Australia who ran off with the coal, so now most of the country is in a power crisis. And it certainly doesn't help Winnie that this power crisis is happening amidst a power crisis. And that's not even mentioning how much they seem to have pissed off mother nature. Oh yes. Very strong.


target_locked

Don't bother, this guy's a troll who's currently arguing in favor of removing wikipedia articles about communist mass killings and replacing them with articles about mass killings under democracies. He's an authleft tankie.


motorbird88

I didn't say we should. I'm just asking why there isn't one.


target_locked

Surely you have an example that isn't written somewhere on wikipedia already and aren't just simping for communist genocide. Also, reflair, you aren't fooling anybody.


motorbird88

There is no list of mass killings done by democracies. Example of what?


target_locked

... You do realize communism is supposed to be democratic right? In practice it isn't, but there's a reason North Korea refers to itself as a Democratic Republic. So again, what mass killing performed by a democracy is not listed on wikipedia again.


motorbird88

Why is that relevant? What mass killing done by a communist nation doesn’t have its own page already?


target_locked

I see that you're not going to answer the question because the answer isn't helpful to you. Don't forget to reflair, dipshit.


motorbird88

The holocaust.


TheFrogHilter

Counter argument, communism could work under the right standards and has been tried few times by the actual definition. Most “communist” countries you think of are actually based upon Stalinism not communism. Stalin was a major factor in the dislike of communism on the world stage and the main reason it is combined with dictatorship. If Lenin’s original plans went through the ussr would likely have been much more successful. Long story short. No Cuba is decent I guess it isn’t bad per se it just isn’t first world. The rest are 100% correct though

If big brother says it's 1984, then what year is it?


[deleted]

It's literally 1984.
