I'm Augustus Democraticus, the second EVER Commissar of the NRI!
It has come to my attention that the world is in need of some refurbishment. Although my commitment to the political neutrality of Aequitas remains absolute, on a state level, I am set unwaveringly on Trotskyist-Marxist principles.
I have decided to take the ultimate leap.
AND EVERY WEEK, EVERY SATURDAY,
I.
WILL.

I can't deny that laissez-faire capitalism is a very flawed system, but we can't ignore that communism has its own flaws too. Human beings naturally require a hierarchy within society, and the idea of a society without having groups of people that are economically "superior" to others, I would say, wouldn't particularly work in human society -- which is why a communist democracy has been a concept that hasn't really been seen historically much. Communism is a good idea in theory, but in practice it really hasn't achieved its original intent, which is why I do not consider myself a communist. I would argue, though, that even though it, too, has some flaws, the Nordic model of social democracy is the best way to go, because it retains a free market while still maintaining protection and economic security for the people, so we don't see the issues that have begun in communist societies but also are able to mitigate the issues with current forms of laissez-faire capitalism.
There's my "counterargument," but just something I've always considered, really, and I don't mean to insult your political ideology in any way; I'm just explaining my own.
By all means say as you believe Luna! The whole purpose is merely to explain our point of view. If we convince even just a few, then that's great, but we don't intend of arguing, just explaining.
Also, that's more of a joke than a meme Tibet, but mk.
The Way I've always seen it, no government type is better than each other. Its a matter of what the government does not the system itself. For example I guarantee you if Stalin had never taken power America would not have nearly the amount of hate it did (and technically still does) towards the USSR and Communism as a whole really. Another thing is how the U.S. has never been fond of Dictators, and while yes there have been some horrible horrible ones that have existed, not all dictators were that bad. In fact there is one in particular that became a dictator yet still (for the most part) represented the people and brought prosperity to the region, I'm talking about Singapore. We actually have a term for this form of dictator, it is called a benevolent dictator. My final example for this topic is slightly controversial, Italian dictator from ww2 while a fascist, seemed to actually want to bring prosperity to Italy, and if he hadn't joined the Fascist Germans I can't reference, he may have been successful in that endeavor. The point is, hate the government not the system, hate the government not the people.
Rant concluded.
Nukeyism is the superior political and economic system to all 🙏🏻
I agree with Lunoria
