Western media don't lie! --libs

Free thinker: "Okay the US lies about a lot of things, but they're definitely not lying to us about communism. Why would they even do that"

Free thinkers can also say "communism is good."

only if they are actual free thinkers
- my bad, I didn't see the quotation marks on "'Free-thinker.'" Thought this was just a meme against thinking freely for some reason.

I hear that it's bad.

I do think the us has an unhealthy obsession with communism but I don't think any radicalism is good. A bit of capitalism with a lot of social policies and laws focused in keeping everyone in line would be better

Why is radicalism bad? A viewpoint being closer or fartger from the median viewpoint in society has no bearing on its correctness or incorrectness. At one point, heliocentrism was radical, most people used to see the Earth as the center of the solar system. At one point, abolition of slavery was radical. Radicalism isn't bad in and of itself.
As for the system you describe, it's just not possible. In a capitalist economy, ie one where the large firms and key industries are privately owned, through ownership of the economic base the bourgeoisie has control of the political arms of society, the state. As such, regulation will only be with the explicit consent and approval of the bourgeoisie, including at the expense of lesser capitalists and of course the working class. The system cannot genuinely be tweaked into working better, even the Nordic countries are decaying, and they already depend on imperialism to function.
What works is socialism, ie public ownership of the large firms and key industries, with the working class in control. Rather than the ruthless nature of monopolized markets, we should work towards collectivizing and planning the economy. Humanity can become the masters of its destiny, rather than profit. In time, this results in gradual sublimation of all property, until all of production is collectivized and classes cease to exist, ie communism.
- Im not sure how to properly quote here (pls educate me) but regarding this:
  "A viewpoint being closer or fartger from the median viewpoint in society has no bearing on its correctness or incorrectness."
  This is inherrently correct. This of course applies to both the middle or the edges of the political and economic spectrum. I think what they and I are arguing is that the "median" tends to be more acceptable for a majority, which is sort of the point.
  I for one think that the state should own and exercise control over necessities or "key" industries as you describe them. But I also think it has no business sticking it's ugly nose in the property I own. Sure - tax the shit out of me if I'm super rich, but that is it.
This is the way in my opinion. Proper anti-monopoly laws, solid progressive taxation, public (state) control of the "necessities" such as electricity and water, a working social security system, free education and healthcare while maintaining private medical practicioners and schools as an co-existing paid alternative.
- There is no chance of genuine "anti-monopoly laws" in an economy where the bourgeoisie is in control of the large firms. Even if necessities are publicly owned, the proletariat and even lesser bourgeoisie lose out in influence over the state, lacking the political control to enact such laws that directly go against the most powerful in society. The only way is socialism, which requires that not just the necessities, but also the large firms be publicly owned, and the medium firms tightly controlled by the state.

I should really block jackeroni

This is not even funny anymore

it's not supposed to be funny it's explicitly calling you out

Replace western media for US media. Only the US is obsessed with communism.

Czechia just banned communism
- That's dealing with it, not obsessing over it.

Now do this meme with any country in Eastern Europe that actually has experienced communism after ww2. Bonus point if you pick one where the USSR has placed their troops to "prevent regime change instigated by foreigh agents and protect the people from a civil war".

Slavic brothers came to aid us with their tanks. Lol.

I don't know how you can say this when eastern europe is overall in a terrible shape nowadays.
The majority of people that lived in the Soviet Union want it back.
Additionally, over 90% of Chinese citizens support their system.
- I cant speak for the chinese, but the data presented in the first article for czech republic is wrong.
  I do not mean to discredit any poll in that article as i am sure we could be throwing polls at each other all day and it would be pointless.
  Instead lets have a look at our parliament who the people actually voted for:
  https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parliament_of_the_Czech_Republic
  Communists dint make it into the government. But oh look. There arent even any communist MPs in the opposition.
  How is this possible that there are no communist MPs when there are 200 seats in the parliament? Odd. It must be because there isnt a communist party.
  Weird. There is one.
  It just didnt score a single fucking seat. How is that possible when a majority of the people want the regime back?
  Seems like "a majority of the people want it back" claim is simply incorrect. Despite what your little article says.
  I just hope you tried to mislead people accidentally.
Meanwhile in the real world
A remarkable 72% of Hungarians say that most people in their country are actually worse off today economically than they were under communism. Only 8% say most people in Hungary are better off, and 16% say things are about the same. In no other Central or Eastern European country surveyed did so many believe that economic life is worse now than during the communist era. This is the result of almost universal displeasure with the economy. Fully 94% describe the country's economy as bad, the highest level of economic discontent in the hard hit region of Central and Eastern Europe. Just 46% of Hungarians approve of their country's switch from a state-controlled economy to a market economy; 42% disapprove of the move away from communism. The public is even more negative toward Hungary's integration into Europe; 71% say their country has been weakened by the process.
The most incredible result was registered in a July 2010 IRES (Romanian Institute for Evaluation and Strategy) poll, according to which 41% of the respondents would have voted for Ceausescu, had he run for the position of president. And 63% of the survey participants said their life was better during communism, while only 23% attested that their life was worse then. Some 68% declared that communism was a good idea, just one that had been poorly applied.
Glorification of the German Democratic Republic is on the rise two decades after the Berlin Wall fell. Young people and the better off are among those rebuffing criticism of East Germany as an "illegitimate state." In a new poll, more than half of former eastern Germans defend the GDR.
A poll shows that as many as 81 per cent of Serbians believe they lived best in the former Yugoslavia -"during the time of socialism". The survey focused on the respondents' views on the transition "from socialism to capitalism", and a clear majority said they trusted social institutions the most during the rule of Yugoslav communist president Josip Broz Tito. The standard of living during Tito's rule from the Second World War to the 1980s was also assessed as best, whereas the Milosevic decade of the 1990s, and the subsequent decade since the fall of his regime are seen as "more or less the same". 45 percent said they trusted social institutions most under communism with 23 percent choosing the 2001-2003 period when Zoran Djinđic was prime minister. Only 19 per cent selected present-day institutions.

Oof even for your trash memes, this is awful... Damn... Aren't you embarrassed? Awful.... Just straight garbage....

Look at this freethinker over here
.world, opinion discarded
- Unfortunately, .worlders cannot see Lemmygrad.ml comments, comrade.
Why do you people always talk like the most insufferable losers imaginable?
Communism is good, actually.
- Sadly this is only true on paper. Communist reality is not that good. This is probably why the meme targets the US audience who never experienced any of it.
