reactionaries say communism always fail while USSR went from a feudal hellhole to a superpower with the lowest inequality on the planet.

meanwhile every time ancaps try to implement their shitty policies the economy instantly collapses.

capitalism can't fail because it is itself the failure state of communism.

Regardless of how many poor, homeless or incarcerated there are, "capitalism" doesn't fail because its goal doesnt care about those numbers

Seriously, libertarians couldn't even set up a single town.

Previous attempts involve brilliant moves like building a town in the middle of the dessert where there's no water infrastructure and then refusing tonpay to have water hauled there and trying to set up a town in New Hampshire, literally one of the most easily habitable places on the planet, but refusing to conform to fascist trash disposal policies so the town got taken over by bears.

Every time a libertarian gets free reign to do whatever they want it seems like somebody making fun of libertarians.

It's great because all the Austrian school ghouls are fully delusional about it. "Oh it's just that he removed the fake parts of the economy so obviously it looks smaller now"

Finally. Real capitalism has been tried.

Heeey I remember the "fake economy" buzzword

Amazing how they use it to mean public teachers and doctors and not for fucking stonks

A great phrase completely hijacked by the most repellent dipshits you can find.

The ghost dog I trust to run our nation's economy has failed me. He has failed us. He is a bad boy.

[-] [email protected] 11 points 7 months ago

Wait, you owned that dog. Why'd you let him do it then? boohoo

He balanced the government budget so its impossible to say if its good or bad.

[Narrator's voice] "He didn't"

Turns out if you set government spending on programs to help people to zero you can just give all the tax money to your friends and have a balanced budget.

Destroying industrial society by electing libertarians

Boris Yeltsin but weird

[-] [email protected] 11 points 7 months ago

they call him wolverine because he's chopping up his country's economic future

[-] [email protected] 10 points 7 months ago

Think he makes it through his entire presidential term?

[-] [email protected] 10 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

I haven't been keeping up, what policies did he actually implement to cause this?

It's surprising to see an economy fall over that fast, even with the catastrophic incompetence I expect from libertarians. I don't know if I could crash an economy that fast without putting in some serious effort.

It wasn't very good shaped to start with, thanks to the previous neoliberals and inept libs

[-] [email protected] 6 points 7 months ago

Haven't followed it in the last few weeks but I think he like shut down all kinds of shit in the government and has been talking about not having a currency and using the US dollar
