  • Communism and capitalism are worldwide economic systems, not ideologies or govermnent styles. Capitalism is the way human relations and the exchange of goods work in this era. A so-called communist country would still live in a capitalist world, even if it isolated itself from the rest of the planet like, say, the DPKR does, they still would have to participate in the market relationships with other countries.

    Socialism, on the other hand, may be possible to a certain degree under capitalism as a transitive system. The same way there were transitional proto-capitalist efforts in several western countries towards the end of feudalism.



  • Just the fact that you think there are communist and capitalist countries makes it clear you haven’t the slightest idea what you’re talking about. Jesus Christ. How do you even begin to discuss politics and economics with someone like that? It’s like trying to discuss cellular biology with someone who thinks whales are fish and human races exist.

    The propaganda is so strong and twisted in the USA you people can’t tell the meaning of words anymore! It’s truly sad and exhausting. Imagine believing republicanism and democracy have anything to do with the parties that bear those names. Imagine thinking that capitalism and communism are political opinions and that a communist country can even exist today. Have you the read anything by any respected economist even in your life, or does your deep knowledge of politics and economic systems come from memes and American TV? You probably believe what Fox news told you about northern European countries being socialist, too!

    This thread is the prime example of the greatest victory of capitalism in this century. The system has made the working class so intentionally misinformed and confused that it would take too much effort to get us all to collectively understand even the most basic of political concepts. We’re doomed.


  • 15 years ago I went for the shittier paid but awesomer job. I jumped from there to slightly less awesome but increasingly better paid jobs three times since then. Now I’m handsomely paid, and my job is still reasonably interesting.

    That said, at one point I was desperate enough to start hunting for very shitty jobs with great salaries. I was saved by an absolute stike of luck.

    What I guess I’m saying is I don’t regret my decision back then. I don’t know what you do but in my line of work you can pretty much always find a job that sucks ass but pays well, and what’s scarcer is jobs that actually are fun and interesting. If that’s your case, too, go for the interesting job. If you’re lucky you can keep jumping interesting jobs with higher salaries, if not you can always jump ships and work a boring good paid one.
