Yes, nothing has to be fair to work. Parasites work.
Does that mean parasites are good?

I did hear it somewhere, not my original. I kinda like it . ESP that socialism, we all know, canNOT be perfect. Do you know that when Katrina wasted NOrleans that the desperate all were carrying guns. Mamdani plans would result in that, you know. Prob start with empty shelves at groc stores. GIMME IT as my old avatar used to say. Fights on the bread aisle. Out of bananas, such as that.
Yeah, it would have to be perfect to run smooth.
How do all the black criminals make those long hair tendrils? Do they make people sit and do each one with a gun pointed at them? You’d be amazed what AvJoe does not know.

No, I wouldn't.

I just assume you don't know anything.

Easy-peasy.

Look, I can't explain rambling nonsense, his or yours.

will you ever stop being dumb and confuse socialism with communism, the thing nobody here advocates for?

probably not, you made being ignorant your core philosophy

They can make entire libraries full of books with what you don't know. And they did. And you refuse to read any of them

Nothing is perfect. Unregulated capitalism is an unfair system. That is why it is regulated now. Socialism is just increased regulation to make capitalism more fair.

I think you have socialism conflated with communism. They are not the same thing. Socialism is like the halfway point (more or less) between capitalism and communism. Think of socialism as the road to communism that always seems to be a dead end road. Nobody completes the transition. That is why communism does not exist.

Socialism is not perfect and it doesn't have to be. Russia's socialism is not perfect. In Russia the state owns much of businesses which is contrary to communism which the employees are supposed to own shares of the businesses, not the state.

Ironically socialism never makes the transition to communism because of greed. On the road to communism the powerful decide to take a detour to a kleptocracy for self serving reasons. Some people call Russia crony communism. Like crony capitalism, crony communism is just greed taking priority.

The powerful get greedy. Go figure. It happens in every political system. No political system has to be perfect and none are that I am aware of. Not in practice anyway.

Well, I am pointing out that some items at our grocery store will cease to be delivered. Take a Starfruit, they are rare, and if Mamdani takes over, it will be one of the choices that will disappear. I love the stuff. What if tomatoes and bananas are the only fruit? Downer.
I am not being funny, I assure you. Cuba has about 12 food selections (staples) at their stores. 🎼🎹People, get ready, there's a train 'a comin...🎶.

It is a given that Socialism is a transitional stage towards the ultimate goal of communism. Everyone, the muddling of this thread begins with this post of Zahlanzi. Stirring up trouble!! All here know they are different.
Zahlanzi, Mamdani tells us he is socialist. Zahlanzi, one of the tenets of communism is abolishment...complete abolition, of private property.
Follow me here....He IS socialist, and on top of that, he said this:

""Controversial video: In the old video that gained new attention in 2025, Mamdani stated, "Any system that guaranteed a home to everyone, even if it meant abolishing private property, would be better than the current situation, where most people couldn't afford housing". ??Is he a communist, too?

So, please tell us about Mamdani, , and please write an adult post and discuss like a adult. You get so upset.

See this highlighted post of Zahlanzi.................he says that nobody here advocates communism. I am sure he is right, not even Moonbus wants abolition of private property, I ain't so sure about Shav.

Ahhhhh, but Mamdani does. I have just proven it. And trust me, these people like he and Bernie.....they're not telling you everything.

Communist, Zahlanzi.
