So you think in a socialist government ,every single decision will be put to the ballot ? Every single decision ? Is that how it was in the Soviet Union? Is that how decisions were made in Mao’s China ?
Its difficult to be "greedy" and fuck things up when decisions are democratically made and not left in the hands of a few.
Do I have to explain further?
Their argument is that ordinary Nigerians will become the government who will be in control of the means of production instead of elite Nigerians in government and https://t.co/2oyM6NCmxE know ordinary Nigerians are naturally smart and good intentioned ,nothing can go wrong.
This how monarchists who lacked i imagination thought during the 1700s
"Like what? What do you mean theres no king? Which great nation has no king? Where has this been tried?"
You don't get it bro in a communist society the good guys will be in power but the bad guys will be in prison bro. Trust me bro it's gonna fuckin rock bro it's never worked anywhere in the world ever but trust me bro it's gonna work this time bro just trust me bro
It’s why people who aren’t crushing themselves under the weight of puritanical nonsense are some of my favorite people. Sex—along with all the acts that constitute it—is one of the greatest things ever. +
"Industrialists" could not have existed without the workers who risked their actual lives. The industrial revolution happened on child labour, 14hrs*7day work, and miners and iron works men having low life expectancy in the Midlands and North of England.
And why are you as a proletariat defending the bourgeoisie??? Why is your politics not centered around the hundreds of millions of people in your class??
A Nigerian [3rd world] commie is even lower in my books Vs an American [1st world] commie.
Because I can’t imagine any sane Nigerian arguing that government should be given more power over means of production when it has shown itself to be utterly incompetent.
@rstarsa It will be irrelevant, because I don’t expect his critics to not know this. Of what relevance is this to their argument when he can borrow against his assets to fund whatever he wishes, and that’s the crux of the debate of his critics and not if he has all that liquid money

Lack of money is not the only thing holding you back. Nigeria is a good example of that. With all the natural resources and wealth we have, look at where we are compared to countries with far fewer resources. By that metric alone, we should be far ahead of them
"The capitalist built the wealth" is an insult to the vast majority of British people that worked and died in factories & coal mines under poor conditions, and the children used for child labor.
I took this picture from a museum in Derbyshire, the birth place of industrialization
No, you don't get it.
He does not have $1 trillion sitting in cash, it is 99% stock in his companies.
To make that wealth liquid would mean selling all that stock which would swiftly destroy *both* the companies (Tesla, SpaceX, others) and the wealth. If he sold it all, he'd end up with maybe $100b max, several hundred thousand people would be out of work, the companies ruined and many of their suppliers also ruined.
Okay, but now Elon has $100b in cash, and can "solve the world's problems".
$100b divided by the world's 8 billion people is $12
If you were in charge, several of the most innovative industrial companies in the world would be destroyed, hundreds of thousands out of work, and space would again close to human civilization for another generation.
But everyone on earth could have one nice meal and you could revel in your altruism.
Why this account de always show up on my tl?
The American welfare state expanded in the 1930s because FDR and many elites feared that, without reforms,pressure from labour groups , socialists, and communists[leftist obsession]could threaten the capitalist order.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣 majority can earn a living wage because they are companies built by capitalists you clown
It is not leftist obsession that improved their lives...stop lying for once...we are not illiterates here
