@davidculley@hachyderm.io @lykso@tiny.tilde.website I am not saying capitalism is good, but first read The Communist Manifesto (it’s only fairly small amount of vomited letters) then read Orwell’s 1984 and then we can continue speaking.
PS: Marx declared dictatorship of proletariat, how this does not oppress my freedom, he advocated the state to take complete control, he associated centrally planned economy (history told us this does not work, we even did not had enough toilet paper in Czechoslovakia, there was waiting queues for car purchase long as 5 years and more), next he was proposing abolishment of all private property and inheritance (good luck with that). He proposed everyone will work where state will say (here we go to Gulag or conscription to work camp) and we can continue. But the biggest flaw is, his naive view that when this proletariat class seizes power, how it will voluntarily give it back to society) he is contradicting himself, on one side he is “abolishing” classes and on the other side he say, here is citation “The proletariat will use its political supremacy to wrest, by degree, all capital from bourgeoise, to centralise all instruments of production the hands of State, i.e., of the proletariat organised as ruling class “. Don’t you see how he is promoting totalitarian system not different from Stalinism (I can say, Stalin just implemented it up to the last letter how he said). And as last life time expectancy was more than decade smaller than in western countries. We even did not produced quality xray machines (eg. Pediatric machine was western Germany imported Siemens), when in 90s after “velvet revolution” the German technician visited that department, he did not believed he see museum piece in works (shooting several times higher doses that moder machine that time), all he said “das ist historische”. How I know? My mom was head of x ray department in the biggest children hospital in Central Europe (Prague Motol)
