The soviet union was an oligarchy, so no surprise.

China is mostly capitalist and people who think they are communist because that's what it says on the package know nothing about China or communism.

To the entire world buying their products from China and therefore sharing the blame is what you would say if you believed in accountability, but that's not a thing for maggots.

Take two, they're free, maggot.

I'm not nice to child rape enthusiasts. This is better, for me.

The same thing could happen in the US system, given how poor access to health care has become. Though of course it's more likely he couldn't get care either way.

They're infected with AIPAC.

Your optimism is adorbs

Fuck. Now I'm too sickened by Google to buy another Android phone. But Apple literally gave Trump gold so I also cannot buy an iPhone. I guess my next phone won't allow me access to web banking. I'm going to have to change to a local bank.

You can look at my posting history instead, I don't work for you.

Yeah, you're stupid in a lot of ways.

Religious orders are fine to mock.

And there's the rub, most of the homophobes and transphobes and most of the other phobes in the USA think they're Christians but don't want to love anyone. They got told that homosexuality was wrong by people who want them to make good Christian Soldiers. But the same goes for the other Abrahamic brainwashing victims, and there's no real difference between them.

"We've had capitalism for centuries and despite ifs many flaws it lifted more people out of poverty than anything else ever tried."

At the expense of the biosphere we all depend on for survival. You left that part out. It's important.

When they are afraid of intelligence they should be laughed at

The only reason anyone even noticed was he became CEO and therefore was subjected to more scrutiny. This is warranted for exactly the reason you describe. It didn't matter as much when he was only CTO, because he didn't have that level of control.

I think neural nets have a place in industrial control, but it's only for sub-processes which are also guarded by watchdogs which prevent really OOB behavior.

Live your life in such a way that you get banned from Faceboot

What they mean is minimum acceptable value for customers, which means maximum possible profit for owners

The USSR was just another oligarchy. They had privileged people at the top and everyone else was below them. That's not communism. You might argue that communism is impossible, but the obvious retort is that capitalism is unsustainable and leads to plutocracy, which is just a specific kind of oligarchy.

Therefore what we can really conclude is not that communism or even capitalism is itself the problem, it's tolerating inequality.
