    So far the people advocating for communism ITT are not even sly about shifting goalposts with the wind.

    Specifically OP, OP responded to a comment about free housing being unrealistic with “single income families should be allowed to exist” followed by something else that wasn’t relevant to free housing being unrealistic.

    At this point I just think they’re big communism shills. (I shouldn’t have to say this is a joke, but I know that I do.)

      They’re just children who expect everything to be hand fed to them by the government and have no sense of nuance. They look at the utopia that communism promises without realizing that humans are selfish and greedy animals, so it’ll never work.

      These people are a good example of why echo chambers are a bad thing. They don’t stop to think about why their beliefs might be wrong.

        Humans are shaped by their material conditions

        Also if humans were naturally greedy it would make sense for 99 percent of humanity to overthrow the 1 percent and distribute the benefits of society more equally.

          Also if humans are naturally greedy it would make even less sense to stick with a capitalist system
