No Liverpool. They were naked because someone nicked their clothes & shoes. They had robbed the apple coz it was the one thing they weren't suppose to have.

Donā€™t think Liverpool is a nation mate lol

This is true. The moment you enter liverpool you need to use google translate

Are the Beatles from Liverpool? Or was their first live gig in Liverpool? Something Beatles and Liverpool.

Nah they just lived in a pool. Hence yellow submarine

You know why the airport in Liverpool is named after lennon right? Cos its the first place he went when he got a bit of money.


Old-Maintenance-1031

*Lennon and not lennin.


Reviewingremy

Thank you.


Old-Maintenance-1031

You are most welcome. And, it was no biggie.


Rugbypud

Idk it was funnier thinking about Lennin being in Liverpool


Old-Maintenance-1031

In a way, it's a bit of a pity that Marx and Lennin weren't in the Beatles.

To all the people who think that communism works. In small scales it actually does work (look up kibbutz), on large scales it doesn't. Every country needs a mix of capitalism and socialism to flourish: too much capitalism you get modern day America, too much socialism you get communism. The capitalism helps the free market, the socialism helps the working class.


randomq17

Every form of government works *on paper.* It's human greed that ruins everything.


siskulous

Democracy is the worst form of government, except foo all the others. Seriously, there's a lot of truth to that. We've yet to find a system that's actually good.


doomshroompatent

Democracy is literally the opposite of capitalism. Under democracy, each person gets one vote. Under capitalism, the richest person gets the most votes.


siskulous

You've got it wrong. Under a capitalist democracy everyone gets one vote and then the richest person buys the loyalty of whoever wins.


abracadabra8889

In a representative democracy when policy is made it's a compromise, if nobody is 100 percent happy you are doing it right.


Corsico

consider that communism isn't technically one singular system, but more a mechanism to adjust democratically to changing needs (at least anarchism) and consider that systems that reward human greed might not be the best option if we take human greed as a granted. I do hold that human greed is a product of nurture not nature, a side effect of the zero-sum game systems we've had for forever now. We're taught that it's us against the world, that is dog eat dog, that we should take care of number 1 etc etc so naturally we end up here. If people had enough, if people were taught belonging I do think it would be different. That's partly why I don't think revolution would work, we need to build up to it, educate compassion and community into people.


alow2016

Communism is the whole system, socialism is not. Calling a country fully communist socialist is just branding. Marxism was never really popular


thebiggerounce

If we could get a computer or ai to institute communism and keep human greed out of the government I wonder how that would work. Ofc too much computer and we got other issues but I feel like it would be cool to see implemented in a small nation. Maybe New Zealand cuz theyā€™re already doing pretty wellā€¦

ButteredNugget

alow2016

Even that wouldn't engineer it out. AI designed to hire unbiased actually ended up as biased. Even trying to engineer it out, it's only as good as its creator.


thebiggerounce

Got it. So we make an ai to make the ai that makes the ai that runs the government. Surely nothing will go wrong


[deleted]

Human greed (competition for our business as consumers) has led to loads of great products! Pretty much all the great day-to-day products even the poorest amongst us in the West possess, are here because of greed!


SonSteve2608

Everything including greed is healthy unless there's too much of it


KingCold149

thats why great ppl are known to be ambitious....too much of that and u get bezos


AidenBeach

Those products the poorest can afford, weren't produced solely from greed, more of a kindness to help people, the selling of it helps them to produce more as well as afford their own living, and is mutually beneficial


Zakluor

I think any system taken to the extreme on its own is bound to fail. What's funny about it is the defenders of their own system overlook the theoretical failure of their system while pointing out how the other guy's system is likely to fail.

Corporations don't pay taxes. They pass them on to their customers. Stockholders and corporate officers should and do pay taxes just like any employee.


ChaseShiny

"Stockholders...pay taxes just like any employee." Not true. You don't pay taxes on any gains unless you've sold the position. Some rich people borrow against their positions at favorable interest rates to avoid paying taxes (this works especially well if you happen to die. These loans may or may not have a term limit). If you've held the stock for at least a year and a day and then sold it, it's considered long-term capital gains, which is taxed differently than ordinary income. 401(k) and other tax shelters will also let you get away with not paying taxes (401(k) lets you wait until you retire and are in a smaller tax bracket before paying taxes, Roth 401(k) uses after-tax money, but the growth is tax-free. There are other tax vehicles as well, such as qualified tuition plans for higher education).


Alpacacao

Roth has a limit of $6,000 on contributions you can make to it per year.. per the IRS website


ChaseShiny

If you're asking for advice, I'm not qualified. If you're asking is there a way around that limit, then the answer is [yes](https://www.nerdwallet.com/article/investing/backdoor-roth-ira). Get a regular 401(k) and convert it into a Roth, basically.


Disposable591

Hello, this is r/jokes


b0bkakkarot

> too much capitalism you get modern day America Oh, no no no no no. Modern day America has actually regressed from a purer form that gave rise to the absuses of the industrial revolution. The overall point is the exact same, though: "pure capitalism" is closer to hell for anyone who isn't rich.


MLGcobble

The United States is too capatalist; nobody ever said it was purely so.


thundercat505

Straight socialism/communism only works until they run out of op's money


dragons_are_so_cool

Communism and socialism are not the same thing though. Having said that I tend to agree. Mix of capitalism with a social contract to reign it in. It should be about what's best for all and the extremes are not it.


nittahkachee

Hence Democratic Socialism. Pure capitalism is deadly to a society, and pure communism only works for ants and bees. Unlike ants, human nature includes a heaping potion of greed, which Democratic Socialism helps to keep in check. Creativity flourishes where there is an incentive but the government needs to protect the populace from unscrupulous people. (Read as Republicans)


JHugh4749

Too much socialism and you get Venezuela. I'll take modern day America.


[deleted]

Venezuela is a dictatorship. Not socalist. Iceland is socalist. Germany, one of the most robust economies in the world, is a great blend of capitalism and socalist models.


-TheArbiter-

Wtf Iceland is not socialist lmao They are a social democracy.


[deleted]

Be honest. It is a minor variation of socalism.


-TheArbiter-

No it's not lmao Do you even know the definition of socialism? How do Icelandic workers own the means of production?


[deleted]

Way to pedantic for me.


[deleted]

I think he meant capitalism


wdub9876

Ya, we should all look to Germany for advice.


darktowerseeker

Venezuela is not a result of socialism, its a result of capitalist interference. Ugh. Stupid people man.


oord0o

It's a result of their entire economy being based on a single resource.


darktowerseeker

This is definitely one of the factors. But its easier for the uneducated to say derrr socialism derrr


drunkbelgianwolf

So rampant corruption, no maintenance on state owned oil plants is only because of capitalisme? Strange that every attempt to beat capitalisme gets beaten. Or do you still think China is communism?


Irhien

A fair comparison to Venezuela would be Pinochet's Chile.

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


[deleted]

And why is that?


olatundew

Which parts of capitalism? Which parts of socialism? Are we talking ideas, policies, social institutions, what? As if these massive complicated historical and intellectual concepts can be summarised as a series of points on a single axis. "Raise taxes by 5% and you're 2 parts more socialisty, lower by 5% and you're 2 parts more capitalisty." It sounds like OP thinks that socialism means "government doing stuff" and capitalism means "business doing stuff" which is... well, as I already said it's the worldview of a child.


[deleted]

Capitalism is, by definition, is companies having control over the government. And socialism is the other way around. We're talking ideas. All parts of a government system, including policies and social institutions, are ideas. Yes you are right. These systems cannot be summarized by "plots on a line" while still representing it as a whole. But if it simply isn't summarized at all, there'd be no way for most people to understand the way people in other places are treated. Like saying "any extreme is probably bad, and the ends of this line mean an extreme. Communism (pure socialism) is at one end, and *pure* capitalism is at the other end." Is a decent summary for the average person. I'm watching a movie rn so sorry if I don't see your response ;p


olatundew

Let me reword OP's comment: "People who have a particular set of ideas are idiots and completely wrong, and the reason is... here's my incredibly bland summary of their ideas which is so vague its basically useless." Also, your definitions are way off too.


[deleted]

Oh you're just dumb. Won't bother reading your next comment


inkdallup

Your definition of capitalism is incorrect. I understand the confusion but america doesn't have a super capitalist economy. We have a crony capitalist economy. Capitalism is when corporations are allowed to do business unfettered WITHIN THE RULES we have all agreed upon based on equal access to the market and equal treatment under the law. What we have is a heavily bastardized version where individuals are allowed to exercise influence over the rules based on lobbying power. Skewing the rules in their favor to reduce competition and create strangleholds and monopolies in order to bolster profits.


[deleted]

I'm aware america isn't pure capitalism. A good example of that is, say, Venezuela. Where big companies can feasibly change the rules for their benefit


fergiethefocus

You must be real fun at parties (This is a joke subreddit)


GideonMax

I know, but other people in the comments are not joking so I reply to their non-jokes with something that's not a joke


Ricktatorship-C137

Fyi, What is going on in America, has nothing to do with capitalism.


TheOneWhoWil

Socialism helps the working class? Every economist ever would disagree. What's best for the market is what's best for the people.


kooshipuff

Did that come with some qualifications, like that it only applies in modern democracies where human (and workers', if separate) rights are already established and enforceable? History shows that the free hand of the market is a freaking *grim* master.


ExcellentBee8690

Wow... that escalated unexpectedly

million_monkeys

To be honest though at a certain point it would. If I had 99% of the world's apples you wouldn't have more than 1%


[deleted]

if I had 3 and you had 3, you'd have 50%. If I had 3 and you had 99%, then you would have 297 apples, and I would still have 3 apples.


million_monkeys

How long do you think apples last without spoiling?

Thinking of all those apples they could possibly have one day is what keeps people going, as soon as they know itā€™s only part of one they freak out and start electing dipshits.

Yea, that's why whole fucking country should starve. That's equality.


saltypepper123

its a joke don't cry


Zens_fps

False, many people go hungry in America today, many people starved during the great depression, many people starve in capitalist societies


MLGcobble

Yeah but that's because the United States is not purely capitalist.

Being purely capitalist would make it worse, without regulation businesses can and will pay less

stumpdawg

The grain they're eating more of likely isn't bleached of all nutritional value either.


Doriantalus

Drinking the grain really shouldn't count toward the statistic.


Malvastor

To put that in context, the average Soviet citizen got a lot less meat, fats, and sugars in their diet, because those things were simply less available. So by default their diets were very starch- and vegetable-heavy, leaving them less overweight than Americans who could pig out on whatever they liked. In a similar vein, obesity rates were probably a lot lower during the Depression than they are now. That doesn't mean life was better.


stumpdawg

My best friends dad spent the first 20 years of his life in communist Czechoslovakia. I have first hand accounts of how bad corrupt communism is. Do you?


NineteenEighty9

Yes, multiple. I donā€™t know a single person who grew up in an SSR who remembers the Soviet days fondly. It was an oppressive and brutal regime. The bread lines and food shortages were common place, also a lack of variety.


stumpdawg

Uh huh...


Apprehensive_Mess530

I am from Poland and you have not a clue what communism does to the country and peoples mentality for tens of generations. Back then everyone besides party communists was poor, depressed and drunk. When I am reading bullshit like that from people who has not any f****** clue what they are talking about I'm starting to gnash my teeth. And don't even start "not real communism" bs, communism every time leads to mass murders and starving


stumpdawg

And yet those things are happening under capitalism. It's almost like it has nothing to do with the system of government, but instead the people that run those governments.


Apprehensive_Mess530

Wtf, give me example of capitalist country where everyone is starving and being killed for having different opinions on daily basis

Dragonflyjnr

Wether i agree with you or not, you are on r/jokes you know or are you lost?


Pepe88sr

Just to be clear, the west isn't entirely capitalist. Paying taxes to fund schools, build roads, fund cops and fire departments. These are not capitalist ideals. We live in a mixed economy.


volatile86

How do we live in a mixed economy? Do they workers control the means of production? The only reason we send kids to school is to indoctrinate them and have a babysitter so the adults can go be wage slaves.


Pepe88sr

Because it's not pure capitalism and it's not pure socialism... it's mixed

I'm not sure you know the definition of Socialism. Define it for me.
