“I want to say, in all seriousness, that a great deal of harm is being done in the modern world by belief in the virtuousness of work, and that the road to happiness and prosperity lies in an organised diminution of work.” - Bertrand Russell, In Praise of Idleness

praise_idleness,

A communist nation that can really provide all that is as realistic as capitalistic utopia.

Communism and your concept of utopia are synonymous. Communism and utopia are not synonymous.

praise_idleness,

I mean even in the case of USSR they had to wait for more than a decade to actually get a livable apartment, not to mention severe lack of infrastructure…

But of course, better than people just kicked out to the streets. But then again, less is not none. The housing situation definitely didn’t do USSR’s overall economic status any favor.

People at least had somewhere to go

that’s just moving the goal post, isn’t it?

praise_idleness,

No one is going to deny that making perpetual motion device is good. How are you going to do that?

Do you have source and receipts for real life communism solving housing problem? Not being better than capitalism. Solving. Being better than capitalism is kinda low bar you know. There are plenty of other things that real life capitalism does better than real life communism, hence communism failure. No one is going to show up with receipts and sources because obvious.

You show us tents as a capitalist solution. That’s not a capitalist solution. That’s the problem itself. You’re misleading.

because his logic is irrefutable if you address it with a modicum of intellectual honesty…

Can you at least try to sound less douche about things?

praise_idleness,

Yes, that’s why there is no pure capitalist country anywhere.

you cant refute Marx’s philosophy while being intellectual honest.

Why are you keep doing this? I said I don’t disagree with Marx. It’d be nice if communism can happen. Facts don’t care about your feelings either and all the shitty attemps of communism failed due to human being shitty. If you have to kill off people to keep the ideology, only to fail after about few decades, it has some reality problems.

And again, I cannot stress this enough, can you please stop sounding like a 16 year old kid who just read few paragraphs of Marx going iamverysmart about it?
