Communism brings equality by chopping the exceptional at the knees.
Being anticommunist is the easiest shit in the world. No need to ever investigate anything or do any research or even concoct a plausible lie. Just make up the absolute dumbest shit on the spot.
It's true, under communism everyone who talks like that dweeb will be chopped at the knees

This is a common anti-communist line to be fair. They think under communism "hur dur everyone will be exactly the same" and ironically every lib thinks this about communism without any introspection.
While at the same time absolutely despising anyone of a different colour, religion, sexual orientation or gender.
Tbh I would chop this guy off at the knees for being exceptionally racist
They wouldn't be above average if others had the opportunities they had. They know this.
Edit: one potentially positive takeaway here. I was right wing in my youth. Probably because I was indoctrinated into it. However I was always of the opinion that communism wasn't evil and was just another way of doing things. I eventually realised that capitalism was the great evil of the world and my allegiance shifted more and more left. I hope that the person the replying here is just young and hasn't yet made the great leap yet.

2nd one is salvageable
yeah they deleted their reddit account
2nd one is salvaged
Under communism everyone will walk rhythmically with their heads down in multiple single file lines in various directions in a drab, gray city while a giant Lenin billboard stares down at the citizens
Legit better than anything capitalism has offered me
Capitalism could never offer you multiple lines AND direction. This is objectively better than what we have now.

praying that this becomes a tagline
They're a big fan of the r slur to absolutely no one's surprise. Some lowlights (not full comments):
CW: poverty shaming, ableism, transphobia, and racism.
if you can’t feed your kids you shouldn’t have them.
Why would anyone keep a [removed] baby?
Now that science is about the 3,000 genders and the economics are about socialized medicine. Fuck them. (waow)
Only [removed] people say neurotypical.
[removed] even by black standards, so triple white [removed].
Things were getting better until this privilege and equity bullshit. It's ok though, I've started to look forward to the chaos.
Mexicans hop the border, within one generation their kids speak perfect English. Black people have been here 6+ generations and choose to sound [removed].
All I did was search the slur, I'm sure there are far more quotes you could pull from comments that don't "feature" that word. Obligatory
who would have thought that their "better work ethic" is their akin color!
I certainly didn't!
CW: racism, IQ
Nobody mention the IQ of blacks in America.
Things your average Bell Curve enjoyer says
To the privileged equality is viewed as oppression
Equality realistically wouldn’t even be achievable. The goal should be to minimize exploitation and suffering as much as possible, but these people think everyone’s going to use the same toothbrush and shit in the communal toilet
"I'm as right as they come, but..." is fantastic discourse.
So is "I'm right-wing too" when someone mentions being against communism.
Bit idea: "I'm as right as they come, but something doesn't sit well with me about having more empty homes than homeless people"
"I'm as right as they come, but how come the boss gets to make all the decisions for me, a citizen of the land of the free?"
I am above average in work ethic and intelligence.
Shit like this always reminds me how surveys apparently show that 90% of car drivers think they're above average drivers lol
I probably shouldn't be allowed to drive and that's why I support public infrastructure lmao
if the worst driver is bad enough that could be true tho
Sure, but those 90% wouldn't know that tough.
Come on
Another thing that Lenin addressed long ago, the early phases of socialism would be "for each according to their work". Really early phase even had piecework and subbotniks, which no doubt would surely curb the enthusiasm of the "above average" white American even more.
If they were so exceptional their exceptionality would be obvious without being lauded for it
My dad told me this when I was a kid and I told him I was so smart because I got all As in school without even trying.
He cut me off and said "truly smart people don't have to tell others they're smart".
Popped my ego balloon in an instant and he was right.
He is right, but I'm not gonna lie that hurted me a little from all the way over here.
Complicated taxes, tax dollars go to fascism, inflated price of industrial goods, long wait times on large transfers of money, variable % interest loans, incredible lag time when interacting with the state, strict and arbitrary rules you can't effectually influence, inflated prices on consoomer goods when traveling, low quality foods filled with grease, dilapidated infrastructure, interfacing with designed-to-outdate technology, expensive courts to uphold contracts, and arcane courts to uphold contracts.
Ignorant hog.
I’m an old righty from wayyy back
Communism brings equality by chopping the exceptional at the knees.
Well then, we weren't all that exceptional now were we.
A lot of conservatives are made this way. They get some pitiful benefit from their effort or their talents and have the good fortune to evade some reality many others with the same blessings faces. Their ego tells them those other people deserved it somehow, and they build abwhole worldview out of this
Fascinating.
Now line up on the wall.
better people, better comments
Above average doesn't imply exceptional. This is such peak great man theoring.
I love that this doesn't even follow from their own assumptions. Assume for a moment that someone more capable leads to better results and should be rewarded as such. (I wrote this in a rush so there are probably logical errors).
Additional resources for "less exceptional" people leads to better work performance. Additional resources gives better education, less external stress, ect - all things that improve a workers output.
ASSUME the untrue fact that the "value" (quantity, quality, innovation) of someone's work is directly proportional to how "exceptional" they are.
Even in the most favorable case, the conclusion that the total value of work produced is lower is incorrect, because humans work in groups. The output of a human is dependent on the output of others in their working group. This is a fact. If one person is very bad at coal mining, they create more work to generate the same "value" of work. If the incompetent person is well tutored in their job and is given the assistance and help they need to understand their job and perform it to the full of their ability then the total work per "value" is lowered.
To the original point of the screenshot's op: you would support this program because you aren't a self-centered asshole who is out to only see your work on top and be rewarded as such. Even if that is the case, you aren't doing it right. It's much easier to make other people's lives worse and decrease the "value" of their work, thereby raising the "value" of yours relative to the mean. This indicates that if you want to improve only your position you should be the biggest piece of shit to everyone around you - don't actually do good work. Sounds like a ceo if I've ever heard of one.
Summary: even in the most neoliberal asshole view of people, communism still creates better overall work amd more total "value" due to human work being done in teams.
