• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If someone tells you that communism has led to famines in the USSR and China, that it doesn't have any incentives and that anyone who supports it use products of capitalism, how do you counter this?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Do you think people aren’t intrinsically motivated to feed themselves? Also, those famines happened because of a guy named Trofim Lysenko got into Stalin’s good graces while having some batshit unscientific ideas about botany. You don’t need communism for that, see RFK Jr, or the cigarette industry, or everyone who denies or downplays climate change because they don’t want to have the deal with it.
