Open a book? This is America we don’t read

"Um well technically, hypothetically theoretically I don't have actually read the communist manifesto, just trust me this is what they want" -Beni Shabibo

[Florianmunz]

bro, we got far more than enough productive forces in the west. The question is how to seize them

[Didyouknowthatiexist]

Have you ever heard of the ussr, north korea, laos, Romanian peoples republic and the afgan peoples republic. Ever heard of them?

[noahjohnson]

Catalonia's industrial sector was more productive and modernized under the CNT-FAI than under Capitalist management. Almost like if you treat workers fair, give them a big say in how things are run, and dont do everything solely for "big number and line go up" then you actually get better growth.

[Kiwistan]

I wonder if this successfully was put into practice? 🤔

[SunblokAnsand]

I love that Ben Shapiro makes a straw man argument about the left, and this guy responds with quotes from the actual Communist Manifesto. You're either really fun at parties or sitting next to the guy just learning to play but brought his guitar anyway.

[dakotacarpenter]

You didn't debunk anything because "equally poor" is the same thing as "equally rich" so his whole claim is nonsense. You can't debunk nonsense.

I think Patrice o neal sumed it up nicely. The problem isnt the Idea, it's the people. Communism is a fine idea but corruption will destroy any idea.

[Lamphead-tp]

He didn’t say the communists he said the left making this irrelevant to what Ben said

[SamuraiFrogz]

And how often has this proletariat system worked?

[orMeNs]

Just because an almost 200 year old book says that will happen doesn’t mean it will happen. Read some newer books including some history of countries following that manifesto. Ben is right, you are wrong.

[jay_tripp]

Give me an example of a successful Marxist society

[sirieprinsloo]

I assume you believe Lenin's Soviet Union was utopia...🤔

[karrot]

If everyone was eqaully rich everyone would be eqaully poor

[robertortiz-wilson]

Making Ben look good with a dumbest responses to anyone who knows better. He's speaking of the mentality of the depraved individuals who follow the philosophy, not its failed theory projections.

in capitalism if the people actually use their money then the tyrants lose their power, but if they keep giving money to the tyrants then the tyrants stay powerful, we do not have a capitalism problem we have a hedonism and addiction problem.

[Random_JapGuy]

While our supreme leader is living a comfortable life we're all working till our death

[gofigure]

Ask anyone who came from communism to the US and has experienced it if it is true or not

[Polishman]

Ah, the comment section sure is a intellectual place for fair and calm discussions😊
