You also hate capitalism right?

Every economic system has created mass murderers and genocides. It turns out mass murder and genocide is just a bad habit that humanity has, and it doesn’t really matter what system of goods distribution you use.
If mass murder and genocide was written into the basic ideology of Communism, then yes, I would agree with you. But it isn’t. Just like mass murder and genocide isn’t written into capitalism. But there are plenty of capitalistic countries that do mass murder in genocide.
If a company is using slavery, how would you use tax cuts to prevent them from doing slavery?
Yes, also, telling companies that slavery is bad and they shouldn’t do it. I’m not sure tax cuts would be powerful enough to handle slavery problems.
Sounds good, but I do think we need to give the government power to regulate industry and apply pressure to direct the economy generally.
I am not advocating for communism right now. I don’t even know how we would make that work given the size and scale of things. I think fascism is a more pressing problem right now anyway. But I think in the future if it seems like we can make something work that looks a bit like communism and it is better than capitalism and we can remain a democratic society, we should be open to it.
Those are leaders that did genocide, not a property of communism. You don’t need to do genocide to have a communistic system. Communism was the first economic strategy humans did. It worked just fine without genocide.
Also this is a category error. It’s like if someone claimed that capitalism is genocidal. No, it’s not. Capitalism like communism is a method to distribute goods and services. Neither have anything to say about genocide.
Checks notes on Communism…
Doesn’t say anything about genocide here chief.
deaf_fish@lemm.eeto politics @lemmy.world•RFK Jr. set to launch disease registry tracking autistic people10·19 days agoThe trick here is they don’t actually care if it’s autistics or not. They just want want to create another “other” for society to Target. So you’ll get them blasting this on news all over the United States of America " see this perfectly normal looking heartbeat, this is the autism heartbeat. We needed to put whoever this terrible person is in whatever terrible position we’re going to put them in".
It’s just like sending people to El Salvador with mom tattoos. They don’t care if they’re in a gang or not.
You are correct, but the average person is not paying attention to that kind of stuff.
This is allowed.
I think we’re going around in circles. I’ve already answered this. I think we’re just going to have to agree to disagree here. I haven’t found many of your arguments terribly convincing. I’m sure the same is for you on my arguments. Our times are probably better spent elsewhere.
If people don’t think there are problems why would people build solutions? Are you offering your boobs or someone else’s boobs?

Then we come back to the problem that no one cares. Insults are what gets peoples attention. Look, everyone was being nice about all the fascists in the US and now there is killing. So go us!
In the old days the viruses would just put a skull up on your screen or some other nonsense.
Now the virus hides and they track everything you do and steal all your passwords and banking information.
It’s better for them to not go loud. Otherwise they’ll be discovered. And the point is to stay hidden as long as possible to collect as much data as possible.
Most people don’t know their computers are infected.
