Hello, I was browsing these forums and see people who dislike Socialism and Communism, but I was kinda wondering if any of y'all would like to deep dive on the subject and give me reasons you don't like the ideologies? Hoping to have a civil and open discussion, thank you in advance :)
Edit: I'm only human, sorry if it takes a bit for me to respond
Fascism and Communism are on completely different sides of the political spectrum. The examples I have seen are facades of Communism but strictly Fascism. Government control is stronger in Capitalism than in Communism as Capitalism is a gateway for greed from the upper class. Which means that individuals vs big companies result in poor laws such as the anti right to repair ones.
"...such as the anti right to repair ones." typed the socialist teen on his iPhone
You didn't answer the question, how do you find a non-greedy leader and how do you prevent non-greedy leaders from taking over? You have to consider that you would need a large number of non-greedy persons for the big communist government to work. Literally why communism has never worked, always ends up in a dictatorship.
Do you think Joe Biden and the dems are the ideal candidates to implement communism?
On an Android actually, also sorry I didn't answer directly let me try again.
All we really need is a representative that is both into Communism ideologies and Libertarian, we can determine the proper person by seeing what regulations they have done in the past and determining that they have our best in mind. This is how most candidates are picked already but I think left and right side media both does contribute to people voting more based on emotion than on actual research. What we need is non-biased news sources that become mainstream, I think a good example of this is a person named Meet Kevin, he talks about things from a financial standpoint and doesn't try to say who is right and who is wrong, just gives the information. I also think our education system needs some reworking, it teaches you more to be obedient to authority than to do necessities like file taxes, and isn't very targeted at what the student wants to do in the future and leaves them to find that in College where they will get tons of debt.
Sorry for all the run on sentences, but hopefully that's a better answer.
Still sounds like a utopia. You need to tell us how do you create wealth for the people in your utopia, how pays the bills for all of that? How do you motivate research and innovation without proper financial remuneration to the people and companies? How do you prevent a massive exodus of big companies that do not want to be taxed to bankruptcy?
And you can't say "I don't know, the leaders have to decide" Use your brain and tell us how will your utopia work?
As for the companies, yes we will need to get stricter on them and they aren't gonna like that. A recent example of this is where Google threatened to remove it's service from Australia due to a new law they are discussing.

This is just one example of companies knowing they have a big grasp on society and can control the government to some extent. We of course need to strike back at this type of stuff and minimize the influence companies have vs individual people. Companies literally send lobbyists all around the world to screw over the consumer. The best way we can equalize companies is a slow process of raising minimum wage and working on equality in pay to the workers. Unfortunately Capitalism is a big scar on our economic equality and it will be a big process for the U.S. to move over to, but I bet we could if we take the right steps.
Alright so the wealth is determined by the needs of the service and the ability to provide them. The difference with capitalism, is that in socialism and communism skill gets more money than simply owning the business. The people determine what the government funding goes to based on the need, and that fund is directly given to the individual people working on it. In contrast, in capitalism you're just working to give your boss a bigger paycheck and the workers get screwed. I think socialism and communism would both be more efficient and fix a lot of the economic problems we have in society.
(Gonna make one more response for the last part sorry)
