A West Point Grad Wrote 'Communism Will Win' in His Cap

I'm not going to pretend I have a great understanding of West Point or the US military. But if you are only just graduating as an officer can you really call yourself a 'veteran'? Surely you have to do some service first? Is there an element of service within the 4 years of training before graduation?
 
What would you like me to address beyond it's a terrible idea?


I will admit we'll likely never see a truly "free market", but it's the best ideal we have when you factor in the reality of human nature, competition, etc.

>"It's the best ideal we have"

>Can't articulate why command economies don't work.

<puh-lease75>

Where's your memes playboy? You haven't been able to string two ideas together up to this point, but now you want to act like you have even the faintest idea what you're talking about.

Make me laugh retard, do a little dance for daddy.

Read my posts.

Point proven, oh ok...

PS, communists calling other people retarded, is really amusing.


PPS, what is your current employment status? What do you do for a living?

You would be laughed at if you called yourself a veteran after graduating from west point. No one considers you one ut I don't know whether you are one legally.

If you want to know why they don't work, that's easy. I gave the reasons in multiple posts. In addition to what was stated before, top down planning in general doesn't work.

Take a typical American business. As they grow larger and larger, the top gets further away from the people that actually make the buisiness work. If the people at the top are making the decisions, many times they're decisions that don't actually help, because the folks making the decisions are too far separated from what makes the company actually work to put in place actions that would actually benefit the company. Couple that with the human flaws of corruption, incompetence, greed, etc.

Now when you scale up to the country level, there are other factors that come into play, but the basic principle remains.

Now if you would like me to tell you why Chavez sucked, and how he failed his people and his country, that would be no problem.


Lastly and most importantly. You clearly ducked the "do you have a job" question. Which is no surprise. You're a typical lazy fucking communist who wants everyone else to do the work for you.



You like to talk about memes, but do you realize you are like the living embodiment of the loser communist meme?

You literally hit all the classics,

Jobless lazy piece of commie shit.

Communism realizes it has more than enough resources to spread around (even though it always ends up with starving people who have not)

And the absolute classic "Not REAL communism"

Well, the military lifestyle is about the most communist scheme possible. Think about it: it's funded 100% by the state. Guys in the army give up a bunch of rights to follow orders. They eat, sleep, and shit in communal barracks. They constantly refer to each other as "comrades in arms."

It's just the actual wars that are for profit.
Military has always been like that for hundreds of years way before Karl Marx was born
 
Can you be a committed Communist and still uphold the values of the American Military? Interesting question.
I don't understand why our military would even care what economic philosophy they believe is best.

The US Military is actually a socialist organization and the major difference between Socialism and Communism is the means by which the party takes The State (evolutionary (political influence) vs. revolutionary (violent overthrow)).
“It’s the purest application of socialism there is,” Wesley Clark, the retired four-star general and former supreme allied commander of NATO forces in Europe, told me. And he was only partly joking.

“It’s a really fair system, and a lot of thought has been put into it, and people respond to it really well,” he added. The country can learn from that sense of mission, he said, from that emphasis on long-term strategic thinking.

The dragging down of order and culture by the overly fertile unskilled masses is a cyclical thing, a bubble that's always growing until it pops

We will only see the end of marxism/communism when genetic engineering/augmentation allows us to curb pathological envy (as defined by a desire for mutual destruction) in human beings

What others me are the people who try to romanticize/intellectualize such a depressing, unavoidable phenomenon then take credit for the inevitible

Ahahahahahaha, Rustlemania! Looks like Captain Memes actually wants to put forth some ideas FINALLY.

Unfortunately, they're shit. Take your example of the American business. As they get bigger, you have a point when you say that the top is disconnected from the ground level...hence why middle management exists. You're so intent on proving this shitty point that you totally ignore that degrees of management exist between the top and the bottom that advise the top on what the bottom should do. Even if the ultimate authority for action rests at the top (say, the CEO), various inputs are coming in that inform that decision (Say, from VPs, Directors, Managers, and Supervisors). Even at the top level, you have other C level executives that can oversee various top level domains within the greater corporate mission. Were you in charge of a company, it would be the shittiest company in existence because you would consolidate all power at the top instead of delegating even at hierarchical levels of the same scope. Is that really a foreign concept to you? If so, no wonder you flailed for so long, this is ground level shit. That's what you get for thinking memes are equivalent to research and life experience.

So yes, scale up to the country level and the basic principle remains. Or do you think the Presidential Cabinet is literally a cabinet, stoic and wooden? I mean, it's amazing that you thought that was a good example.

Stay in the realm of memes doggie, that appears to be the only thing you're versed in. Don't go "writing any more books", you'll expose yourself further as not having read a single damn one.

All the rest of that shit is full retard. Try harder next time.

Ha, I knew legit communist when I was in the army. She was always talking about how we were going to invade iraq, and this was of prior to 911.

Holy lack of reading comprehension. I argued those at the top making decisions was a bad thing.

It is no surprise since you're a lazy jobless communist...


While your point about middle management is ok, as typical of your average fantasy land communist, it ignores the realities of the real world, and the faults of man. As I stated, the larger the company gets, the further away the middle management gets as well. Their laziness (one example of the real world getting in the way of your fantasy world) causes them to dump the work of the folks below them, who in turn resent them. Many times causing good employees to leave the company. Then there's also the fact they're usually not the best and brightest. They either rise to the top, or leave the company.

You see there's so much that happens in the real world that you don't get in your textbooks. Of course, you'd know that if you had a job, or ran your own business.


Furthermore, at least in the private sector, the motivation exists so that people try to move up the ladder by outperforming the competition. We all know what happens in the public sector...

I do not see how capitalism failed the working class.

We have seen a true Communist state, as far as how one can be upheld while taking into account the realities of mankind. We cannot enforce egalitarianism except through authoritarianism. We, the humans ourselves, are not equal. One man can be more talented than the other, and he will feel entitled to more than the other. The natural impulse and drive for competition, cannot be suppressed, except through force.

The capitalist system, atleast attempts to address this. The communist system, is founded upon a lie. Therefore it must be maintained by suppressing the truth.

From capitalism, we may proceed to something resembling a more fair and just system. From communism, we cannot.

Inspirational post.

The "realities of mankind" are that everyone has base needs. Communist societies simply attempt to address those needs through expenditures of social capital from the masses to those who go without.

Leaching of social capital via numbers and violence? Let's be honest when we substitute "ethics" for "realities of mankind".

Hey, didn't know you were in the military. Thanks for your service.

3 years as a mechanic, got out 3 months before we invaded Afghanistan. I appreciate the sentiment, but have always felt strange receiving that sentiment not being a combat vet.

Doesn't matter if you were on the field of battle. You made sacrifices, you did your part. If everyone sacrificed half as much as you for the benefit of our country, we'd be a much stronger nation.
 
It is no imminent threat because it has rightfully been vilified, and fought against.

And yet, whenever Capitalism turns into oligarchy or plutocracy it rears its ugly head again, so is it Communism that needs to be vilified or Capitalism? The problem with capitalists, is they want to turn their system into an oligarchy instead of addressing the bad. They ignore the pleas of the poor until the poor get desperate and turn to Communism/Socialism.

If the bad in capitalism is not addressed, history will repeat itself and you will see another French or Russian Revolution type scenario unfolding.
