Communism on Tumblr - aka, why I want to be edgy and anti-capitalist

So what's keeping these SJWs from setting up a communist commune somewhere on a farm, with a closed production cycle, growing their own food on fields and making necessities in workshops and sharing it all?

You can start a communist sub-economy right in the middle of capitalism. There are no laws against it. It has been done in the Israeli Kibuzzim. They are sometimed quoted as examples that communism can work under certain conditions. The free software movement with products like Linux and Libre Office, gnuplot, gcc, Latex etc. can also be seen as a type of "virtual communism". The difference between capitalism and communism may be that it is legal to set up a communist micro-economy in a capitalist country but not vice versa.
[Though small-scale capitalism did exist to a degree in the Eastern Bloc nations, small businesses often operated under semi-capitalist conditions. Nowadays Cuba has legalized small to mid-scale free market businesses.]



(Tries to mix SJWs and "actually doing something" in a pot. It just won't blend. Like water and oil...)
It would require them to actually get off the computer and make use of themselves.

It requires cultural homogeneity, such that all the people involved share common values and goals and voluntarism, such that people who do not want to be part of it can leave. Without the latter, it's just a cult.

SJWs can't do this. They're like crabs in a bucket and have a culture of ostracism such that trying to operate for a common purpose is completely impossible. They'd eat each other alive. The best they could do is, as individuals, move in and parasitize an already working society, and soon destroy it.

They'd also have to, like, go outside and do work, ugh.

Saw this on a Russian blog and it seemed appropriate for this thread.

In 1989 communist politician Boris Yeltsin took a trip to America and visited a local grocery store. He was so amazed by the variety of goods available to the locals that it completely shattered his faith in communism and he became a reformist. Granted his reformation came with it's own massive problems (including ruining what was left of Russia's economy). But the point is if your entire political system can be dismantled by one guy visiting a grocery store then it probably wasn't that good a system to begin with.

They have.


I'm watching it now. This is going exactly as I thought it would. The woman won't even look at the guy filming it, and kept talking over him. They never listen and romanticize Communism and act like it's the utopian kind of society that Thomas More wrote up. I love how they're talking and preaching to a person who actually witnessed what Communist rule is like. People who never grew up with that kind of oppressive society. They should at least listen. They'd have interesting stories.
All they do is parrot information written in books, since they never had to see it they'll never realize.
Best quote from that video: "My best friend was born in the USSR, and he disagreed."

I like when she said the deaths of millions of people was just a "mistake."

And by "like" I mean "want to fucking shoot myself."

The fact that the woman refused to look the man in the face says a lot. In most of this video, she comes off as a bratty 13 year old who isn't getting what she wants. And I know this bitch is an adult, which is even more embarrassing. At least her friend let the guy speak and seemed to be listening.
I'm sick of the "well the US came in and ruined things" excuse. It doesn't work because it's a flawed and unrealistic idea.
