no country was ever actually communist

that was just the manifestation of their ideal culture

communism according to marx (and somewhat engels) is the end stage of socialism, that is only achieved when the worst aspects of scarcity are eliminated


at that point the "state" withers away and dies (most socialist command based economies struggle with the principle agent problem anyway, so i doubt any would achieve true communism)

soviet russia was poor as **** with terrible infrastructure - they were a socialist posers dawg

i was also talking about the economic policies of soviet russia

command economy with a capitalist flare

1) Kero's political propaganda is inappropriate in a smash bros. forum.

2) I can't change username. Either buy a premium account, or ask someone with a premium account to change it for you.

I see where you're going. You're taking it as the literal ideological communism not the colloquial practical communism. Then yes, they were just a bunch of lazy socialists. Their infrastructure fell apart, schools became nothing but brainwash factories (hence why @Maliki, Koroshiyo Communist Activist, doesn't know the difference between too and to), the people revolted, and occupied territories were liberated.

Bias imo, if Kero were lauding capitalist policies I sincerely doubt any disciplinary action would've been taken

5) "turning a game meant for enjoyment into an extension of a business is pretty ****ed, innit?" No I think its ****ing awesome. There are people out there who literally don't have a real job and play and/or stream/cast video games FOR A LIVING. That is ****ing awesome. That is the god damn American dream. Them making money doesn't prevent our enjoyment at all, it just adds to theirs and yea for the pro's living off gaming prolly makes the game a bit more stressful and a bit less fun FOR THEM, but that is the personal decision they made. Keep in mind that the people who are streaming these games have invested thousands of dollars into the equipment for it, who are we to say "you have to use that equipment to stream this"? They have every right to use that equipment to make a profit. Without these people making money off us, there WOULDN'T BE A HIGH QUALITY STREAM to speak of. This is a capitalistic country, if you want someone to buy your product (aka view it on stream) you have to make it worth their time/money. No handouts, no weaksauce. We had time on stream at Zenith and it was boring. Our commentary is amateur, our play aside from a select few players is boring to watch. Stream time is absolutely not equal on a per game basis. It is absolutely equal on a per entertainment basis aka a per $ basis aka MURICA. The 2nd one is what is called "fair" in a capitalistic society, the first one is called communism. Go back to the USSR!

Cambodia during the 1970s hits the nail on the frame perfectly. It's also a shining example of why communism will never be pragmatic and remain a broken ideology not suited for the species.

you mean the policies of the khmer rogue?

yeah i'd say that approached it but it was still pretty terrible

they still had lots of scarcity problems due to their anti intellectual policies

their strict adherence to self reliance also caused major problems

not to mention the forced labor

id say they were more of a command agrarian state than full blown communism but i see where you're coming from

Is Isai one of the best smashers of all time? Let's think about that for a second, since I do know him personally. There's literally thousands of people that play Super Smash Brothers that have not come to terms with entering a tournament, or any awareness that there are official ones that are taken place. Are they the best? No. They're simply the victors at the time over whom they were played against.

Isai and I, we played together lots of times, and not once has he beat me. I noticed he likes to use Fox, Pikachu, and Link a lot, and not once has he completely taken down my stocks with any of these characters. He's trash in comparison to me because it's always like 5:3. I literally think he sucks.

Are you God? If not, then you are not better than Isai and I'm calling bull****.

Speaking of God, God what have I done? I make a couple extreme correlations about people being communists that is just pro-timer propaganda and now all of smashboards is in this capitalism vs communism uproar. Kero abandons his German soulmates. Kero gets banned. Fireblaster is losing his mind. Certainties in the English language are nonexistent. Sangoku has become a political dictator. And Isai is unvictorious to a guy who has 2 posts?!

I hope you mean 'a god'. Because I'm pretty sure that (narcissistic) is just as much of a storybook character as Kirby, and would lose (especially to a die-hard sexually enticed Kirby player). :|

The only reason why he even mains those three characters is because out of trial and error that's what worked best against me. With the other characters he barely even got one to two stocks in. Is Isai a god? Of course not, he's is inferior to me.

Oh my. It is really the first time someone claims that! I am sure isai will bite the bait and challenge you to prove you he's better!

We already settled that, and he admitted I was better than him. I'm just not going to join any sort of tournament and publicize myself.

I told you to answer me and to be clear whether you wanted your account to get banned or not. But no, you didn't confirm and you continued posting your complaints. So there you go.

Why did I say that in the first place? If you understood, you probably wouldn't ask.
