    You are just going to trade one master for another. Its like the one ring, it cant be properly controlled, it has to be destroyed.

      That’s an ignorant statement because we have existing socialist states and we can see that they function very differently from capitalist ones. Meanwhile, nobody has shown a functioning alternative to having a state. Anarchists keep rejecting practical and tangible improvements to everyone’s lives while chasing dreams they have no means of realizing.

        What are the states you are referring to? North Korea? Cuba?

        The improvements you are talking about usually just make things worse.

            I dont get it, are you wanting to have a country like the ones listed? I would argue that all of those countries are not desireable to live in.

              Yes, I do want to have a country like the ones listed because it would be a vast improvement for majority of the people. If you had any empathy for others you’d want to live in a socialist country too.

                You would want to live in North Korea or Cuba?

                  Once they’re free from being choked by the deplorable US empire, absolutely. I grew up in USSR, and I had a great life there until communism was abandoned and I lived through some of the most horrific years under transition to capitalism. The problems Cuba and DPRK have are entirely caused by US trying to destroy them. If you want to see what socialism looks like in a country that US can’t fuck with then look no further than China.

                  The fact that you pick on Cuba and DPRK as a form of argument against socialism shows that you’re a deeply unserious person.

                    So then how do you explain what happened to Venezuela because they were not sanctioned until after they started seizing property?

                    Also you should watch the following short video showing how nonsensical planned economies are by vox of all news outlets ; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n-mUZRP-fpo
