Flatout bilgewater. It is an opinion piece by this Tony Smith dude.
I just RE read it. So you are obviously mistaken.
Find a communist country or a socialist country that is practising your pure communism or socialism. You cannot because there is the human factor involved. Humans are different from each other. That is basis for one to want dominion over another. That creates hierarchies. Try to get a handhold on at least a little bit of reality, would you, please.
The USSR, China, and Cuba were altruistic?
hhmm It looks to me as if Harpercon has not a clue what altruism means.
Here you go, kid:
Altruism | Definition of altruism by Merriam-Webster
1
: unselfish regard for or devotion to the welfare of others
2
: behavior by an animal that is not beneficial to or may be harmful to itself but that benefits others of its species
Right. This is how communism / socialism functions.
The article isn't an opinion piece, it's the reality of how capitalism functions, backs up by facts. You don't agree with it, do further research into what he says.
maybe starting with the links cited in the article.

So anyone in Cuba would die for anyone else huh? Raul Castro would die for Delfia Anybody or Ermano Whatsisname, right? Stalin would have done the same, right?

Just like you have this utopian perspective on how communism works.
There is not a chance in hell that Castro would give up this:
so he could live in this:
I am dead certain that Putin would give up this:

Wrong. It is Tony Smith's perception of how things work.

I may do that.

for this:
obviously you have not been around food banks and charity dining rooms. You live in a box and when you do crawl out you find the nearest tunnel
huh? what the hell are you talking about. once again you've been baffling.
this really isn't a good way to rebuttal any of the facts in an article.
I may do that.

Putin is a total capitalist, so you're right. Unsure if you have a point though, seemingly not.
Damn, you're right. I forgot about those capitalist inventions, such as those food banks and homeless shelters.
While capitalism promises much it delivers little to the many and lots to the few. While the theory of capitalism is fair the practice delivers rule by capital. Creeping by degrees the laws and regulations preventing wealth concentration at the top are circumvented one way or another. Trade agreements like TPP ensures that the elite of the world have each others backs in thier struggle to remain masters of the vast majority of the planets people while milking them in perpetuity. Capitalism is self destructive.
This man has it right. A great read from a lefty rag no less..

crappy interview with a no class consciousness. seemingly arguing about business people (petite bourgeoisie) vs aristocrats (bourgeoisie) .
also the gross implication that wealth makes you superior to others. gulag the entire website.
Like I said, harpercons, show us one country where communism has succeeded. If you cannot show us then your argument is moot and your claims about it are meaningless.
Although capitalism causes income gaps and poverty, at least it allows for soup kitchens and charity. People in Cuba and any other place that claims to be communist are SOL and they have to provide for themselves and poverty is vastly more widespread than in capitalist countries.

Innovation is fueled by money. Lack of innovation is fueled by money. Were money no object, literally, innovation would be fueled by need.
