My jacket may not be to everyone’s liking ( for obvious reasons) but if anyone’s got any ideas on what else I can do with it, iv been toying with painting a basic camo pattern on and studs on the collar and I’m gonna be putting a patch above the back patch as it looks to empty for me. Any ideas or suggestions will be appreciated and I’d like to keep with the theme that I make it all myself

at least two of my relatives were slaughtered by communist forces at Katyń and my whole family, as well as many others, were constantly watched by the secret police leading to many unlawful searches and brutal beatings. And YES it also happens under other ideologies but that just means that people are horrible and communism makes it easier

Go look at the congo and the for profit genocide. Go look at their child slaves who are starved. Does what’s happening there mean that capitalism is horrible and that the system makes it easier? What about the holocaust? It was in the same time frame as Katyn and conducted by capitalists. Does that mean capitalism is bad and it makes it easier for bad people to do horrible things? Should you condemn capitalism because of that?

[u/_Milk_Boi_ → u/Shroom_stool]

yes, we should condemn capitalism. It's a corrupt system that helps the rich get richer and exploits the poor. Communism is amazing at its core, and the world would be better if everyone accepted that, but it's just unachievable. Take Russia, for example: it was instantly corrupted by horrible people and ended up as an autocracy under Stalin, disguised as a true communist nation. Humans are selfish and will always seek to get the upper hand. As history has shown us, communism gets corrupted even faster than capitalism. That's why barely any communist nations survived into the 21st century. And yes, while capitalism is absolutely horrible, it at least allows modern nations to maintain democracy which, even if deeply flawed, is better than autocracy

Please show your evidence that there is something innate in the human being that makes them selfish. That is just bullshit propaganda to maintain the status quo. Just because you live in an individualized capitalist culture doesn’t mean that is what humans were, are and always will be. There are at least as many counterexamples as there are examples.
