nah, but planning to.

Used to be very into ideologies like Communism, Anarchism and Socialism from around the time I was 18 into my early 20s. Ideally I still am. It's just that I've lost any hope that these ideologies will ever take real root and be able to make a difference outside of some small zones like Chiapas in Mexico or something. Most people have been propagandized and deceived too well by western red-terror propaganda and also into thinking the Leninist scourge is actually what Communism is all about:


Capitalism is too strong and has conquered the world, abowe. I feel ashamed that I grew into a jaded and defeated man but it is what it is. I root for young bucks like you. Hope the world doesn't make you relent and you keep this revolutionary fire in you.

I don't even know which ideology I stand for but I used to believe that the world could one day change.

true, I was thinking about if Somalia ever goes through a revolution and fighting for one like this isn't too much. I'm not really planning on taking it outside of social media. if my clan unites to one area prolly i would go than do something there but as right now I don't see the world changing.

Capitalism will be here till death calls on our names

outside of small zones like Chiapas? Communist slash pro-Communist forces run like half of Latin America:

-Cuba
-Peru
-Mexico
-Venezuela
-Bolivia
-Nicaragua

now obviously it's not literally half, being that Bolsonaro is in power in Brazil rather than Luka.... but a lot of the region is under control of communist slash pro-communist types. Chiapas is just a very small example. Comandante Marcos- the Chiapas leader- was himself in favor of the Fidel Castro types. the English media isn't telling the story but huge amounts of Latin America are under the control of Communist types.

imo the US wasn't really this hardcore anti-communist state. it was in a rivalry with the Soviet Union. The US literally was allies with Stalin during WW2.

I know that in history books you read things like "the CIA overthrew the Chilean Marxist government" in like 72.... but that stuff is in history books. The same kind of governments are coming into power now and the US doesn't stop them for whatever reason.

anyways, it's a lot bigger than Chiapas. those same forces are waging a regional cold war at this very moment

Not real communism anyways are you a capitalist if you are, give a reason why capitalism is good
 
What exactly does that entail?

I would like to know too. I honestly don't know much about it but there are people who are experts in it.

From what I understand, it would neither be communism nor capitalism but some kind of third system in regards to economics.

Shouldn't you be intimately acquainted with the details of an economic system you're advocating for?

I'm in favor of Islamic everything or what I read is called "the Islamization of knowledge". I'm not saying there can't be other viewpoints out there but I think economics, politics, history, everything should be analyzed and understood from an Islamic viewpoint.

they should do that in Muslim countries. what is stopping saudi to become one or saudi is already one?
 
Based on the cursory reading I just did, it seems as though Islamic economics prohibits interest and has a system of taxes for the well-being of poorer citizens, but is otherwise similar to capitalism in structure and form -- especially in relation to private enterprise.

Have you heard of Paul Cockshott and his work on cybernetic Socialism?

Communism requires everybody to be a good person, that is simply not the case in reality.

Every government that has ever tried to implement Communism have been tyrannical and autocratic, exactly like the bourgeoise they were railing against as revolutionaries.
