Are you sure about this?

Well good for you. What you're trying to do is an argumentum ab auctoritate. Even if it was true it would give you a heavily biased and schewed information about the real life in comunism because you would have been in the circle of the privileged. The Party "aristocracy" so life probably would have been good and dandy.

On the internet you can find any kind of information, there are methods to verify the sources and compile coherent streams of information about anything. But this means work and time and it's easier to find an ecochamber in a "dedicated" forum and feel good about yourself.

L.E. my arguments are neither strong nor weak. I've mentioned their source so you know why I'm stating them. Like I already said your or someone else validation of them is not required.

I said what I had to say it's time to carry on. Good luck!

You're right.

So billionaires filling Earth 's orbit with junk ...

Well kid, it's funny that your ideea it's not applicable only if it's sapping resources created beforehand. So is a net consumer not producer. In comunist terms it's a "parasite on the workers class".

There are some key concepts you're not grasping and you should educate yourself for your own good. Things like:

• economy is much more than a stock market.
• producing good and services that people require is the economy itself.
• politics doesn't create anything (regardless of the ideology) it suppose to find the best way to manage what has been created by the economy and society.
• the reliability of a system is inversely proportional with its complexity. In other words things break more complex things have bigger chances to break.

Arguments that comunism was bad? The internet is gushing with info (videos, testimonies, history, you name it) you just have to look at it and consider it.

Convincing somebody over the internet? You don't want to see any other opinion, you just want to pick an argument with me to test your "revolutionary claws" against the "bourgeois" and/or the "imperialist pigs"!

I don't know what you've been through to embrace these ideas and I don't care. I've seen my grandparents believing like you that "the grass is greener" - they got wiser through reality checks. I've seen my parents live in the "Age of Gold" and being disappointed that their whole youth work was in vain, I've experienced some goodies on my own.

And everbody reached the conclusion that: "In capitalism the man exploits the man, in comunism it's the other way around!"

You have no ideea what are you talking about!

A good food supply means a working economy, for gods sake!

You need seeds, water for irrigation, fertilizers, tractors, various attachments to them, trucks, fuel, silos, for storin, dedicated plants and educated people to build and maintain everything. And I haven't reached animal husbandry or food processing!

Or you would argue that we all do subsistence agriculture because then I have a very bad news for you. Where to many for ineficient low yield agriculture and even if this wasn't a problem,many, like you, don't know how to do it.

Why, you think I need your validation of my life experience from you?

In a wrecked economy the government can't do it. Because the government is not a magical entity. Then what?

Yup, you guys where hit worst than most. Not only as magnitude order but also as time span.

Yup, I know what I'm talking about, unfortunately for me I've been "blessed" of being born in comunism. Can you say the same thing about yourself?
