"Communism is anti- for the following reasons It rejects individual rights the core of philosophy. It denies the right to private property. It denies the right to free speech unless the Party approves it. It treats the individual as a tool of the state. It abolishes voluntary exchange. It replaces consent with coercion. It destroys the idea that you own your life. It demands that your work belongs to the collective. It declares equality of outcome more important than equality of rights. It elevates envy into a political program. It turns productive people into state-owned resources. It"

"They claim capitalism kills anyone who tries an alternative but the only thing capitalism does is offer you a voluntary way to live. Trade consent contract choice. Nothing stops them from forming communes co-ops or collectives inside a capitalist society. They can pool their resources share everything abolish private property among themselves and call it utopia. They are perfectly free to do it. The problem is that their alternative always requires forcing everyone else to live the same way. It requires seizing property banning profit outlawing voluntary exchange and punishing anyone who"

"Late stage capitalism is really just early stage socialism. Every problem you blame on markets comes from the states power to interfere distort and pick winners. But instead of stopping and reflecting socialists double down. The more government creates the very conditions they complain about the more they demand even more of the thing that caused it. Its ideological autopilot. No thinking no introspection just reflexive calls for the same poison in a higher dose.

"Saying no job should pay less than $18/hr is like saying no house should cost less than $500k. It doesnt raise value it bans anything below it. If someone produces $12/hr of value and the law forces $18/hr that job isnt upgraded its eliminated. Minimum wage advocates pretend skills and productivity appear because politicians pick a number. Theyre not helping workers theyre outlawing low-skill workers from employment so they can feel moral. If wages feel too low increase your value. Dont criminalize reality"

Their loyalty is not to workers not to equality not to humanity its to the ruling class that murders dissenters and calls them enemies of the people. Thats why their followers will call starvation progress call mass graves mistakes and call dissidents Nazis. The lie itself becomes a loyalty test. And thats why they idolize Venezuela North Korea Cuba Maos China or even Iran any regime where obedience matters more than life. They pretend to care about oppression then excuse it instantly when its their ideology"

"If private health insurance has no reason to exist then why do people voluntarily buy it Insurance exists because risk exists. People prefer a predictable cost today over catastrophic cost tomorrow. Thats value. What makes insurance look parasitic isnt that it exists its that government destroyed alternatives: no transparent pricing mandated coverage banned cheaper plans restricted competition subsidized demand while shrinking supply Insurance didnt create that it reacts to it. If insurance truly added no value it would die on its own. The fact that statists want it banned proves it does"

"Its hilarious watching people say we need to pirate again when the only reason you dont need to pirate is that access has never been easier or cheaper. You can stream more content than ever for a few bucks or literally for free if youre willing to watch ads. But somehow paying $X is oppression. Thats not rebellion. Thats entitlement dressed up as moral outrage. When you hate creators and companies simply for succeeding piracy stops being about access and turns into envy"

"Heres the brutal truth that Reich will never admit: Everything on that list makes life less affordable because everything on that list increases the cost of production housing labor and capital. Point-by-point: Bust up monopolies Give regulators arbitrary power So the politically-favored firms win just like they always do. The government becomes the monopoly. Boost unions Make hiring costlier Which means fewer people hired slower growth higher unemployment and higher consumer prices. $20/hr federal minimum wage Price floor far above market value People whose productivity is below that rate"

"Socialism is a luxury belief. It only appears in societies after capitalism has made people rich enough to pretend redistribution doesnt hurt anyone. Welfare climate politics free programs guaranteed income none of these existed when people were poor because survival left no room for fantasy. Capitalism produces the surplus; socialism spends it while condemning the system that created it. It is the moral hobby of a society whose prosperity has lasted long enough for people to forget where it came from"

"A 32-hour work week with the same pay is just demanding more while doing less. Capitalism already turned 80-hour factory weeks into 40-hour office weeks by making more output from fewer hours. Productivity created rest. Socialism is the opposite demanding more without producing more and pretending reality owes you comfort. People dont need the state to remove effort they need freedom to create value and rise. Reality not legislation is the arbiter"

"Nationalising the economy doesnt put the working class in charge. It puts the political class in charge the only group that produces nothing yet gains the power to dictate everything. When the state owns the economy workers dont get ownership autonomy or control politicians do. And the moment the national interest becomes superior to individual rights the individual stops mattering entirely. Youre not empowering workers. Youre replacing voluntary exchange with political coercion and pretending its liberation"

Heres the reality hes desperately evading: In Vietnam there is a criminal code for criticizing the state. Article XXX of their penal code: Making storing distributing or disseminating information documents and items against the Socialist Republic of Vietnam. Punishable by up to XX years.

"What Reich is doing here only works if nobody runs the math. Take his exact premise and calculate it honestly: Say a company has 500000 employees making $8/hr and they all get bumped to $15/hr. Thats a $7/hr increase. $7/hr 2080 full-time hours = $14560 more per employee 500000 workers = $XXXX BILLION per year Now compare that to the CEOs shocking $150M salary. If the CEO worked for free not $X literally $X youd still be short $XXX billion. Raising wages is not funded by cancelling an executive paycheck. It requires massive recurring revenue increases higher prices layoffs or business"

"Communists post stuff like this to reassure their own side emotionally not intellectually. They need to imply that liberalism is helpless and nave and that fascism is somehow its protectorbecause if they admitted the truth theyd have to acknowledge that: Liberalism (even the watered-down modern version) is what actually gave them every freedom they exploitspeech property due process voluntary association. Fascism is simply their mirror image: collectivist coercion dressed in different symbols. The only distinction is which tribe gets sacrificed and who gets called the enemy. So they turn it"

"Minimum wage doesnt fail to rise with inflation because of some conspiracy. Its because inflation itself is a cost. When the government inflates the currency every business sees its costs go up: rent equipment energy materials and yeslabor. If wages automatically increased with inflation youd be forcing businesses to absorb two rising costs at once: the inflation they didnt cause and higher wages mandated by law. Its the equivalent of saying: Hey everything costs more now so you have to pay more tooeven though your revenue didnt increase. Thats not economics. Thats emotional wish-thinking. If"

"Its the exact mindset that says youre entitled to someone elses yacht money that puts you in a bread line. If you spend your life believing that other peoples achievement belongs to you that their wealth exists to be redistributed and that prosperity is something you receive rather than earn then standing in line begging for what others produced is a perfectly just outcome. Because heres the reality: The billionaire isnt buying a yacht instead of feeding you. Hes buying it because he already created enough value for millions of people value you clearly didnt produce. Your existence doesnt"

"Theres nothing more natural than inequality. When people are free they make different choices take different risks work at different levels develop different skills and create different value. Inequality isnt a failure of the system. Its the outcome of freedom. The only way to eliminate inequality is to eliminate the freedom to rise. Reichs real complaint isnt inequality. Its that some people achieve too much without needing him"

"Calling voluntary lending parasitic is exactly backwards. Youre not mad that money is being stolen youre mad that it isnt. Interest isnt exploitation. Its the price of risk delay and foregone opportunity. A lender sacrifices their own ability to use capital now so someone else can use it instead. The borrower gains immediate purchasing power and the lender earns compensation for postponing their own plans. Thats mutually beneficial trade. What you call usury is simply someone valuing time and risk. Your egalitarian fantasy is that someone should supply you with capital for free absorb all the"

Profit is not stolen.
