You're assuming that consolidaing power and wealth will be redistributed to those who need it.
The soviets, red china, cuba etc may not have been communist. But they tried to be communist and failed. Maybe the redistribution of wealth and power is more difficult than it sounds. Perhaps it's even more prone to corruption and oppression than Marx understood.
Resources that are confiscated for redistribution, only wind up being used as leverage to secure power against those who would rather distribute wealth and power to the bottom. Which is why communist regimes have killed more communists than any capitalist regime has ever dreamed of.
Don't get me wrong, capitalism is no picnic either. But wealth and power are openly distributed, rather than centrally managed and planned.
Personally, I'm a libertarian-mutualist, which I guess you can call free market socialism, where you choose your own government. Maybe we won't be saving children from maleria or whatever. But we sure won't stop them from escaping the swamps.
Marxism
Business and Finance!
>How are you not a Marxist?
Because marxism has countless holes and contradictions that make no sense.
There is no surplus value.
The working class consumes 99% of consumer goods.
There's nothing else for them to receive.
Also every marxist country in history has been a miserably failure.
Also marxists ACTUALLY believe all human action is purely the result of economic forces and that biological instincts do not exist.
They are that fucking stupid.
Just kill yourself.
>badmouse
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
>capitalism killed millions
lmao everyone laughs at this retarded "statistic" marxists come up with
You include every authoritarian anti-free market country as "capitalism" and pretend that capitalism is the reason all of these people died.
There are countless examples of free markets dramatically increasing people's lives.
Why not include Switzerland or Singapore?
Kill yourself.
Bad Mouse is a great intellectual and has a solid grasp of Marxism. I don't know why you'd question his credibility.
>all of the deaths in every war in history are capitalism's fault
>all of the horrible market restrictions governments have placed on their people are capitalism's fault
No, these are the results of government and government interventions.
All things YOU PEOPLE love and desire.
Do you realize why people don't take you seriously?
>there won't be any kind of disruption in production nor violation basic human rights.
Production involves more than just workers operating tools and machines. Every country that had tried "seize the means of production" for the workers ended up with a mass disruption in their economies. You can't guarantee "egalitarianism" without ruling with an iron fist. At that point, it's worst that the system you're trying to replace.
>Why do you think that removing a small capitalist minority from power would change anything about how those systems are run when they are thought up by scientists and engineers, built by workers and maintained and operated by workers?
Because the workers will fucking do the same thing as the capitalists when they're given power. You're not a saint just because you're working class.
>Bad Mouse is a great intellectual
>marxist teenager that believes marxism isn't pure pseudoscience
>great intellectual
That's like saying flat earthers or scientologists are great intellectuals.
If you actually believe this crap, I suggest you grow a beard and start preaching.
>monopolized part of the market to amass an insane amount of wealth both through rabid consumerism and
but if the workers took over the means of production it wouldn't increase their living standards
the working class already consume 99% of what is produced
They wouldn't get anything more.
Why can't you be honest and just tell everyone the truth?
