    I wonder why they do this. For people who claim they are the pinnacle of acceptance and democracy, why not try to look further into theories that support marginalized people and that try to make the world a more equal place? The weirdest libs for me are the ones that say communism only works in theory. Then why not try it? If only 80% works, that sure is better than whatever the fuck we’re doing now, right?

      Yes. Even if that claim was true - at least it works in theory, which makes it automatically better than capitalism which neither works in theory nor in practise.

        Pretty sure libs generally think that “communism only works in theory, but capitalism works in practice”, and point at the US space program or something along those lines as proof. So no, they will not entertain the idea of trying something that “works in theory”.

        Others claim it doesn’t even work in theory.

          The US space program was gov funded… it was a communist concept of management of production through the state implemented imperfectly in a capitalist system. It is an example for communism not against it.

            lol USA created NASA precisely because their garbage for profit companies didn’t see space exploration as profitable and so USA was falling ridiculously behind technologically from USSR.

            It is of great urgency and importance to our country both from consideration of our prestige as a nation as well as military necessity that this challenge [Sputnik] be met by an energetic program of research and development for the conquest of space… It is accordingly proposed that the scientific research be the responsibility of a national civilian agency… NACA is capable, by rapid extension and expansion of its effort, of providing leadership in space technology.

            Basically if it wasn’t for USSR United States would’ve never bothered with space exploration because it was more profitable for private companies to spend their resources on coming up with new and exciting ways to exploit their workers.

          Capitalism works if you are a rich white son of another rich white male.

      Their solution to inequality and injustice is victim blaming so they will do nothing to enforce human right or equal opportunity.
