    Just curious…

    Since communism isn’t illegal in western countries, and there’s literally nothing stopping a bunch of comrades from starting a business where the workers maintain control over the means of production, where are all the successful communist companies?

    Like if communism is sooooo superior to capitalism, why aren’t communist operated businesses dominating the world?

    New businesses are started all the time, so you would think there would be at least one successful communist company. Where are they?




  • I don’t understand how people are so surprised to discover that experts in a particular field or industry…

    GASP!

    Have worked or continue to work in said field or industry!

    Is it really a surprise that an expert in the subject of aspartame works or has worked for one of the biggest users of aspartame? You think aspartame experts are going to work for car companies?

    Like if you wanted to find an expert on say… petroleum, it shouldn’t be a surprise that they have worked for an oil company. That said, any obvious conflicts of interest should be noted in any reports so that others are aware, but someone’s expertise shouldn’t be immediately discounted.
