Yeah, we should own those dirty communist propagandists by housing every homeless person.
The commies will be sooo owned if we do that.
yes please daddy antisocialist me harder
Social democrats*
It's like communism but it works, and you don't even have to kill minorities like you do on communism.
Wussss
I AM A COMMUNIST
pay my dues and everything
Why does Communism necessitate killing minorities, and why are you assuming Social Democracies haven't killed minorities?
Do you think tools have a mystical property that requires the owners to turn evil if they are collectively owned, rather than privately?
Good question, let's hope you are able to have a civil conversation!
First of all, every communist regime has systemically killed off their minorities. Social democrat governments haven't. I hope that clears it up. If you come across social democratic governments systematically killing minorities, let me know though.
Like I said earlier, the underlying economic model under the fascism is irrelevant to the millions of minorities having being killed by communist regimes.
Every country has systemically killed off minorities.
Show me exactly where the mystical property of tools comes in, where collective ownership turns people evil. If you can't, then Communism does not necessitate genocide.
It's that simple.
TIL... Derek Chauvin is really a communist.
He's a fascist like a commie, but that's where the similarities end
TIL... Derek Chauvin is a fascist. But also a communist. No, a fascist. But also... a communist.
Finland has a housing first policy. The homeless often have multiple problems that prevent them from getting a home the normal way (e.g. drug problems that cause them to get evicted). Instead of insisting people get better while homeless, they’re given homes first and treatment for their other problems after. This coupled with welfare transfers that ensure you never end up homeless just because of lack of money leads to low homeless numbers.
Yes, Finland does this precisely by rejecting Capitalism and giving homeless people homes. This is not a Capitalistic solution.
I get what you're saying, you can have a majority Capitalist society and still solve homelessness, but the answer will never be Capitalism.
