    No no, you see. Its okay and normal to destroy your body for other peoples profit.

    The problem here is you enjoying yourself and experience happiness. Personal happiness is a sin in capitalism, because it might lead to thoughts of improving your situation, and thats the last thing anyone wants. Just think of what it could do to the shareholders!

    /s because I know some dim bulb will take this seriously otherwise.

        its on point, but if I dont /s then someone will come in and think I’m actually arguing in favor of ruining your body for capitalism.

        cause every time I’ve ever made a super obvious post, I always get some dimbulb response without the /s

      No no, you see. Its okay and normal to destroy your body for the glorious state.

      The problem here is you enjoying yourself and experience happiness. Personal happiness is a sin in communism, because it might lead to thoughts of freedom and self-improvement, and thats the last thing the government wants. Just think of what it could do to the production!

      /s because I know capitalism sucks, but communism sucks as well.

        Weird how your ‘communism’ always seems identical to capitalism, and literally every critique applies to both.

        Almost like you don’t actually know what communism is and have created an entirely fictional external scapegoat to feel like the horror you labor in and perpetuate is morally good, or something.

        This isn’t to defend the USSR, plenty of problems, but, like, you never bothered to learn what any of those actually were. Also, ussr≠all communism, some, including the USSR’s official position for the entirety of its existence, would argue that they weren’t communist at all.

        Not that you care to use any crotical tjinking or curiosity to scratch the surface of the ideas you were told and discover myriad (mostly still shitty, but way more interesting and exciting) worlds beneath.

          I mean, you can still go to former communist countries and see what older people look like. Like in Hungary older people don’t smile much. They learned that if you smile too much it might be suspicious and you could be investigated by the police. Why are you smiling? Do you have access to black market luxuries?

            Completely ignoring literally everything I said.

              This entire thread is about communism? The parent post is a critique of it? The word is mentioned in every post on the thread?
