he uses slave labor and capitalizes off of the elves for their gift making and undercuts the value of the product

do we actually know if santa is honcho though, it would make more sense for him to be an employee

Turkey is getting ready to invade Libya; stay on guard and start mobilizing yall

Mobilize? U going over to Libya to fight lol

just found this thread hello comrades o7

I come in peace. I matched with this girl on a dating site that is a huge communist and even reading the simplest definitions of it sound god awful. Any of y'all wanna send me links or explain to me why you support it? I'm not here to stir the pot I'm genuinely curious.

You looking for books or articles or videos?

Articles/videos.

I would recommend some Richard Wolff if you're completely new to Marxism. He tends to dumb it down a lot, but it's a good introduction. Michael Parenti is really good too. They have a bunch of stuff on youtube.

This article is a really good historical account of some of the achievements of socialism in the 20th century:

dont give that maga f*** any links or anything lmao. he's trying to gain some surface level understanding so he can bag some girl

gross

funny too considering these dudes are swearing up and down how bad communism is but apparently have never even heard basic definitions of what it is

chuds learning about socialism to simp for a girl is very alpha

Question about social democracies

Im really fascinated w a***yzing the different kinda social democracy states out there and there seems to be an underlying theme of a generally lower standard of living with the exception of the scandinavian states

Southern europe, france and even the province of quebec are good examples

Some parts of quebec look like places in Latin America not even trying to concern troll

As someone tht believes in social democracy what do yall believe is the right balance to strike tht mix of innovation/continued increased in standard of living and still hving a robust welfare state

The scandinavian countries pulled it off, Germany uk aus nz are definetly generally wealthier but I would say their still more closer to the US way of economics w the exception of their healthcare system and higher education obviously

F*** post Jamahiriya Libya, let em have it idgaf
