Damn where do you live? I haven’t seen conservatives having meaningful debates about any topic in perhaps a decade here in Canada.

Fascists have it so easy, give the average fucker a little pin and tell them they’re special helpers and they’ll do this kind of thing for free.
This is why horseshoe theory is wrong, leftists would have engaged in debate until they found an ideological impasse then written you off as the wrong kind of leftist.
Around the first French Revolution there were only a few historical examples of democracy and all of them (including the French Revolution) reverted to monarchy. (Putting aside also that those states governed many who did not get a vote due to gender, colonization, and slave status).
Online edgelords at the time might have thought monarchy is the only system that can work and democracy only works in theory.
You’re conflating organization and collaboration with oppression and hierarchy. It’s not “no rules” it’s “no rulers” and likewise you don’t get your anarchism membership revoked when you hold the door open for someone.
In fact, anarchists are very much about collectivism over individualism. No one is free until everyone is free.
It’s because Democrats are not “we.” Both parties serve corporate interests.
Democrats don’t like riots, if leftists protest too hard liberals are the first to tell them they’re hurting the cause.
You must simply VOTE BLUE NO MATTER WHO!!! every few years, that’s the extent of political action requested and allowed by liberals
Yes the God given law of capitalism dictates the only fair way that wealth can be distributed
LLMs do better than this
Some Lords probably treat their subjects better than others true, at least we moved past serfdom.
Social programs and social welfare aren’t really balancing socialism with capitalism, the means of production is fully owned by capitalists and there is no democratization of it. Sure we have some coops but the vast majority of workplaces are dictatorships
The only way in which communism is inherently authoritarian is in that wealth must be forcibly taken from capitalists and landowners in order to help the masses.
Equating communism with authoritarianism, but not doing the same with capitalism, a system in which the owning class oppresses (to the point of homelessness and starvation) the working class, is simply ignorant.
There is oppression under this system as well, there are private prisons that lead directly to incarceration, there is gross inequality, there is global injustice (forced extraction of wealth and natural resources from foreign lands), there is climate injustice in which a tiny minority of the population is directly causing harm, suffering, and an increasing amount of climate refugees (to which they deny entry after making their homes unlivable).
but yes an economic system that puts the needs of the many above the lavish lifestyles of the few and which prefers cooperation to competition is inherently authoritarian and this one isn’t. How many terrible capitalist countries can you name?
Capitalism only works in theory.
Capitalism only works in theory in practice it’s all homeless encampments, people going hungry, wealth inequality, gender inequality, race inequality, global inequality, climate disaster, war.
Capitalism has never worked
Communism is when wealth disparity
when a huge multinational corporation worth more than the GDP of many nations organizes their resources using a plan decided by executives, and starts to vertically integrate to control their supply chain, and reaps the cost savings, that’s just good capitalism.
No organization that’s publicly owned could ever vertically integrate and make efficient use of resources, no, you need a dictatorship where the wealthiest have all the power for that kind of thing to work
The reason markets trend toward monopoly is that it’s so ineffective
medical practitioners competing with each other isn’t how medicine advances
What’s your policy on useless idiots? It’s a time sensitive question because I just saw this opinion I’m not sure what to do with
Yeah at least write their name down so you can remember them
