God that would be a depressing thought. Thankfully, a tankie’s idea of communism is in fact not the only solution, we need only look at democratic socialist countries like Denmark.
I think it’s fine for people to be rich. I don’t think it’s fine for that to be at the expense of the poor to such a ridiculous magnitude that the wealth has long become moot for that individual’s quality of life:
Thanks for the sauce! The Nordic argument gets used far too often by center-leftists in the core imperial countries because they already assume a level of available wealth which can only be sustained by the exploitation of the colonized rest of the world.
The greed of the rich will never be sated. They may retreat or bide their time but they will come back for more, until they have sucked every drop of your blood.
Just wanted to point out that Denmark is a Social Democracy, not Democratic Socialist. The vast majority of the economy is fully Capitalist, paying for Social Programs isn’t Socialism, Worker Ownership of the Means of Production is.
If you want to argue for Social Democracy, go for it, but don’t pretend it’s actually Socialism.
Only communists in the US are calling for nationalization of oil. About 75% of Denmark’s oil is nationalized and lets them fund social programs. Liberals in the US would never accept that.
Hey now, don’t go lumping “eat the rich” in with these crazies. I can hate tankies and hate our growing wealth inequalities
eat the rich? I bet they would taste funny but I am open to the idea
You are thinking of clowns.
The rich have been fattened up for decades and massaged on a weekly basis. Their meat is juicy and tender.
Mmmmmmm
They taste like infinite free healthcare so you know that meat is fucking Premium Kobe grade shit.
A rich diet is sectarian-agnostic on the left
Communists are the only way to solve that wealth inequality

Sure helps when Europe benefits from literally trillions of dollars a year in net extraction from the global south
