    Competition even in theory:

    I won the competition, now buy my linen at 10x its value. Btw it costs 1,000 years of the average salary to start up a competing business, good luck lol

      No, it doesn’t even work on paper. We don’t need to build two competing factories to see what is best. We invented science. Somebody can just make a graph. It’s that easy

      The same is true of many implementations of communism. The problem isn’t the system, the problem is people, and people try to corrupt the system to their benefit.

          How has what I said got anything to do with liberal ideology? If anything, the implication of what I said is that we need more authoritarianism, in order to stop people fucking around.

              I didn’t realise you were the arbitrator of what is and what isn’t. Obviously, I defer to your judgement.

                  I tried to get a meaningful argument out of you, but it’s very apparent you aren’t capable.

            So… you’re a fascist?

            Communism provides a solution to capitalism by being a more democratic system, both politically, and economically. Not by being more authoritarian.

              No I’m asking how what I said had anything to do with liberal ideology. Can you stay on topic?

              Most communist nations have not been very good when it comes to democracy. Not that they couldn’t be, but it obviously isn’t an inherent property.

                  Again, that isn’t an answer to my question. And no I do not think liberal means Democrat, I’m not in the US.
