I am not sure which is more cringey, the litany of erroneous assumptions you splayed out or the act of calling upon the student archetype with the intent of derision. Anti-intellectualism, check. src
I wonder what sort of political movement arose after 1820 that led to better working conditions and wages, healthcare and pension schemes and all of those things.
A true radical centrist understands that both healthy markets and a strong worker's movement are necessary to find a good balance between capital and labour.
Well it is a MUCH longer story than I'd care to really elaborate on... but thank you for so politely pointing that out. Although, I would suggest that the situation is less about how I ended up on the thread (research) and more about why I commented on it - Sometimes you just can't hold a reply comment back ya know?
What's hilarious is that Marx himself wasn't nearly as critical of capitalism as your average Internet Commie is, and was at least willing to acknowledge that it was an improvement over what came previously.
Expecting communists to read anything other than blog posts about how North Korea is actually woke and twitter threads about the time a white guy called a trans woman “dude” is a waste of time
Marx even thought British colonialism would help develop India, which it did (in inequitable ways) but to even suggest something like that now would get you exiled from any left wing group
TL:DR "I would rather work in the cotton fields for 20 hours a day while eating nothing but dirt rather than kill myself because of boredom bcuz capitalism is evil >;("

Imagine unironically participating in a sub called r/CapitalismVSocialism

Communists are stupid, but almost as stupid is comparing poverty rates from over a span of a century.
I think there a little more to it than capitalism.

A true radical centrism understand that labour should taste the boot and capital should be beheaded, inshallah.

TBH, a true libertarian should like worker's unions, since they are people voluntarily organizing to bargain for their own self interest.
Them being too strong is usually bad news, but that's a consequentialist argument.
1 SaulAaronKripke 2019-01-10
many contemporary unions are not exactly voluntary.
1 NormanImmanuel 2019-01-10
That is true, friend.
If you don't mind me asking, how did you end up in this 3 months old thread.

Nothing was ever invented before 1820, you heard it here first.

Got to love the commies saying that China and Korea weren't colonised. Weeb or commie? The answer could surprise you.
1 Awayfone 2019-01-10
Love they have decided once again china is communist. Well for at least this hour

Objective morality doesn't exist but my morality is objectively better than yours. The materialist dialectic is a hell of a drug.

Is it "capitalism" that has brought the world out of extreme poverty, or is it workers, the working class?
