False, they are some of the best in the world, people from all over the world go to Cuba or depend on Cuban doctors in their countries for the treatments they need to survive.
Yea if I was from a third world country I'd try my best to get to Cuba, it's probly light years ahead of the shit at home.
It leaves them with the same jobs they have now if the workers deem them still capable of leadership and their representation. And it leaves them with no more than they diserve.
See but why would they stay around? They wouldn't. Their whole title and post depends on excess power. Have you ever worked at Burger King or McDonalds? Have you ever seen 30, 40 year old people making 8 dollars an hour, and wondered why? Some have language barriers. Some have criminal records. This is not in doubt. But for the most part, they have achieved the height of their career. Why would you want these people to run McDonalds and make decisions at a corporate level? The average person in the US thinks Saddam caused 9/11. Why the fuck would you give ruling power to them?
The average American is a fuckin retard. Retards don't work as a president (Bush) or as governor (Schwarzenneger). Why the fuck should even less educated, less intelligent people hold the reins of power? CEOs would not stay around if Communism came about. Their posessions exist exactly because they have strived in a system that rewards economic pursuit. If we took that away from them, there is no incentive to stay.
They are homeless because they have no home.
No, they are homeless because they walk in circles, mumble, sing to lamp posts, and shit on themselves. A very high percentage of homeless people have mental issues that prevent a normal life. Add in drug addiction, and you have a good case for institutionalizing 80 to 90 percent of the homeless population.
Most homeless are not capable, functional people just down on their luck. Many have serious issues preventing them from not being homeless. There is federal aid, afdc, medicare, etc. Most do not take advantage of these resources. The YMCA in the city where I live lets homeless people eat, shower, and gives them work clothes to apply for jobs in. Many do not take this route at all, however. Many simply refuse, and many lack the capacity.
They should and would if they worked, which they would do if given the opportunity. If they are ill in anyway they should be getting proper treatment for it, which includes a place to live while being treated.
I agree with this. There are a large deal of homeless people who need to be institutionalized.
It leaves them with the same jobs they have now if the workers deem them still capable of leadership and their representation. If they don’t they would be out of a job. This would in fairy tale land happen in capitalism too, ideally, but there is nothing to ensure that happens. In a communist system that would be engrained in industry through communal leadership and production.
They would all be out of a job. No one who strived to the top of a major corporation is going to allow the fickle system of communism to delineate their position and pay. The common people are fools. The common people are like the villagers in
the quest for the holy grail. That's about how much stock I put in the mental capacity of the average American.
If you don’t work you don’t live off the system of communism.
Funny, considering there are people who don't work and live off the system of capitalism. I thought Communism was supposed to be the most humane system?
If you are unemployed because you are too stupid, you would have an opportunity to go to school and increase your education so that you would be able to have a job.
The kind of stupidity that keeps someone at Wendy's for 20 years is not curable through school.
So if the wealth of this country was held by the people, not some fraction of a minority, then everyone would have an interest in keeping the US Economy afloat.
Tell this to Bling Bling, who spends his money on 20 inch rims and a new Explorer. Or Sam Everquest, who sits in his fuckin house all day and plays EverQuest. Of fuckin Jonnhy Columbine, who uses his newfound fortune to purchase enough arms to take out a small parochial school. Or Jerry and Vermuth Springer of Bender, KY, who use the money to print out white power pamphlets. There are people in our country who don't even work for the good of self. They spend their money, herad-earned or given, on absolutely useless, masturbatory items/causes. Given a larger piece, they can be expected to do just the same. Actually in all probability, given a larger piece, they will glutton out even more.
They would have the incentive to work harder, produce more, etc. It doesn’t even have to be common good that you work hard for. If you want your family to do better, you work harder. Except in a communist economy working harder will actually do something to uplift people, under capitalism if you work harder you don’t get more, they pay you the same and fire the guy next to you and then tell you to work even harder. In communism common good is a by product of doing for self.
In a nation of 250 million people, my individual effort matters? You're saying I will see tangible, quantifiable results for pushing my job to the max every day, working overtime, etc.? Hell no. How many people are going to offset you by not working hard at all? How many people do you know, right now, at your job, who you have to work harder than, because they don't give a shit, and know they probably won't get fired? If you can't count more than ten you're not being realistic.
And what would you do to those who don't work? Shoot them in the head? That seems to be the most widely accepted system. What, jail them? No, we wouldn't do that. Just let them starve? No, because we would be back at square 1. Homeless people are homeless because they lack a home, right? So we should put Marlon Rockhead in charge of the Fed Reserve rate, and fuckin Timothy Toothless in charge of tariffs and export oversight.
People would be asking for the return of Capitalism, welfare and AFDC, and your dumb ass would get overthrown, not me. Working as some turning gear in the giant machine of economy might be a great thing if you live in a box. Otherwise, people are gonna see the bullshit system they have to produce for, and you will see a real revolution back to Capitalism.
