It’s amazing how many people are brainwashed into thinking anything to help improve their country is considered communism

@stux
Lower taxes -> improve country. Not communism

Less government overreach -> improve country. Not communism

No censorship -> improve country. Not communism

I don't see your point

@LukeAlmighty @stux Maybe if you're not being communist you're not improving your country? 🤷🏾‍♂️ The OP does make more sense when you flip the order

@realcaseyrollins @stux
Well, no. There are next to none commie policies that lead to a better country.

@LukeAlmighty @stux Well it depends. Communism and Socialism don't scale well, which means it can work for smaller countries like the Netherlands, in moderate amounts.

Of course a private sector is necessary but a communist or socialist public sector can work in a small society.

@realcaseyrollins @stux
I agree with you there. Communism does not scale qell, but it can be maintained in the scale of..... FAMILY.

Maybe close friends, and potentially even a small village (30 people would be my theoretical cutting point). Anything beyond that becomes an arms race in stealing from the productive few.

@realcaseyrollins @stux
In family, you are taking from people you know and care about. Their suffering is known to you and they can be reasoned with. Problem with redistribution through government becomes unbearable the moment you do not see the effect of money being taken away for your benefit.
