I love me some good old capitalism, but this is just inhuman.

@LukeAlmighty @moffintosh @LukeAlmighty @moffintosh I think technically this one is a rather twisted example of some sort of socialism

@roboneko @LukeAlmighty > socialism is when gov does stuff

:facepalm:

@moffintosh @roboneko
It literally is though.
Of course, governments do take half to themselves, but the redistribution by gun is the entire base of any socialist system as far as I can see. And I did spend quite a lot of time listening to the socialist rethoric.

@LukeAlmighty @roboneko Ah yes, there's nothing more pro-goverment than arguing for it's complete overthrow and a total restructuring of the economic system, am I right?

@moffintosh @roboneko
The owerthrow rethoric sounds nice, but the socialist action always ends up being: Let's just tax everyone and give it to single moms.

@LukeAlmighty @roboneko The USSR had a flat icome tax of 10% of I recall correctly

@moffintosh @roboneko
I could accept this point, if Russia wasn't at a western standart of "near 50 percent" by now.

@moffintosh @roboneko
Although, yes. USSR used to have MANY wonderful properties I WISH were still here.
