Labor has not conquered scarcity. Dear lord.
It actually has. The U.S. produces enough food to feed the entire world three times over. It’s a matter of distribution and no one is going to invest in that because it’s not profitable. .
Just because there’s a lot of it doesn’t mean it isn’t scarce
Say, why don’t you take your hair-splitting somewhere else? Preferably a place that allows you to comfortly fuck yourself as well?
There are serious ethical problems with a capitalist system, especially when it comes to the necessities of life, but there’s also ample evidence that other economic systems in practice have been just as bad if not worse regarding food security. Trace the history of the USSR from the Holodomor in the 1930s to empty grocery shelves and bread lines in the 1980s, for example
Yeah, the problems are just different. A mixed form would be ideal, where basic needs would be handled socially and the rest may compete in a capitalist way. The difficulty is where to draw the line exactly.
This argument would only make sense if you don’t need food to work and that no one would buy food… Nither is a thing. Also you don’t just produce food to feed people, many food products are a thing because they taste good, they are not very efficiently nutritious, so good tasting food is a thing impossible for communism as it would “waste resources”
I’m fine with this. What say you?
Didn’t expect That response now did ya?
- Yes i did expect some commie to show up and say something like that.
- Wtf is meant with “what say you?”
- Yeah because you never experienced how soulless and lifeless the food of a commie country tastes. Try cooking without spices for a week. And spices are by far not the only stuff that is nonexistent in commieland.
“Communists do not have spices!”
Well that’s an argument I haven’t read before. Yeah, we let people suffer and die because they cannot buy food, but our system has no alternatives because… we have spices. Sorry, you have to die poor, my food neeeds spices.
