global economy would shit itself while xi xinping laughs as he trades with the American Socialist State
All I'll have left are these Iraqi Dinar I got from this brave fighter :admiral-biderman: .
This is the only honest answer. Spend every penny you have on furthering communism and you'll probably end up on the politburo for 10 years before you're purged then let back on 2 years later then purged again.
Glad I'm not the only comrade who understands the integral part that Toyota pickups play in any insurrectionary movement
Buy a gun. On the 79th day, blow your brains out. You preserved your wealth to the bitter end.
Hitler issued the Nero Decree before blowing his brains out, so we can actually all take comfort in the idea that he died thinking that his beloved Aryan people had failed him.
Lol one of the top comments is this gem:
Convert the bulk of my wealth to gold and silver. Buy a few ar 15s and boxes of ammo. Go buy a massive parcel of land in Wyoming and start a Galts Gulch style community with a dozen or so like minded individuals. Wait out the storm and return to rebuild society.
They act like communism instantly turns any country to a wasteland. And also assume the communists somehow... wouldn't hold on to power.
Hey, comrade! Heard you helped ship a truck of gold into Wyoming a month ago? ...Stiffed you on the payment too, huh? The Party just took control of these medium-range missile launchers... Would you like to enter the coordinates yourself?
Lmao the replies are even dumber. There is some guy who says it is seriously his dream to build Galt's Gulch "when he is rich" :
Hopefully by the time I’m 50. Gotta get thru another 3 semesters of undergrad and then law school. After I get a steady law career and pay back any loans (hopefully by my 30th bday) I’ll be able to save serious money towards buying the land and building materials that will be required. I think the hardest part will be finding likeminded individuals who value production and won’t be a drain on our society that we build
I feel bad to even try to make fun of them. Like, this is just pathetic. How is this person old enough to go to college? How is this upvoted?
He's in for a nasty surprise if he thinks that law school is a good path to riches these days
You're basically fucked with 150k+ of loans that won't even get you a very good job if you don't go to an ivy league school
Lol that's what I first thought... Like, even if you make a lot of money, it won't be "I'm gonna go ahead and make my own dumb nerd utopia" money.

My wife graduated magna cum laude and she was pulling down $120k eight years later. Admittedly, she was working 60-80 hour weeks to bring in that $120k.
The debt isn't the real problem with law school. Like, yeah, a small mortgage sucks. But it's manageable when you're earning three times what you made out of college. The real problem with law work is that the hours are totally unforgiving. You're effectively holding down two jobs.
I had a friend who did Big Law up in New York for about four years. He has a story about his boss coming in with a contract that needed to be finalized in three days. This was on a Friday. So he pivoted from his normal 7-7 schedule to literally sleeping under his desk that entire weekend. Put in 120 hours total that week, with half coming in the last three days. He delivers the contract bright and early Monday morning, but his boss pushes it back and says "They just called and said the deal was off." He walked out of there shortly afterwards. Not even NYC Big Law money was worth that shit to him.
even our fancy barristers here in the UK can easily earn less than minimum wage, especially if they are acting as public prosecutors or defenders.
their average earnings sounds like a lot of money until you realise that:- it's skewed by the top earners
- almost all of them are self employed
- they have student loans to pay back
- a court case can take a shitload of work, and they aren't usually paid by the hour
but you look at their fancy wigs and silks and you would think they were loaded
The most tragically hilarious thing about this is that lacking any other context you'd immediately categorize him as a utopian socialist trying to build a commune.
Thats because right-libertarianism in general, and Randian Objectivism in particular, are literally utopian for the same reasons we call them utopian socialists.
This is borderline AnPrim.
Of course, it's also a complete fantasy. The dude doesn't have a clue what setting up such a community would involve, logistically. Nobody, outside a few serious nerds and your particularly broad minded city planner really does.
I doubt this asshole even knows how to get to Wyoming. Much less where he'd be able to build a sustainable habitat.
This is the kind of thing I could imagine someone thinking in like 2005 but did this person miss the housing crisis? The mass dispossession of the working class in the wake of Corona? Part of me envies them for having such optimism about their future but the other, much larger part wants to be a fly on the wall when this person has to face late capitalist reality.
Imagine someone doing this in 1917 hoping to hold out until the Tsar regained power.
Some guy hiding in a cave in China just waiting for Qing dynasty any day now...
Good luck finding an AR 15 80 days before the communist revolution lmao
With 800k they could still get a few, even at current prices. Good luck on the ammo though
Goin to head over to the Winchester, pour me-self a pint, and wait for the whole thing to blow over.
"convert the bulk of my wealth to gold and silver" Lmao, fucking nerd.
This is "What would you do in a Zombie Apocalypse?" only somehow even dorkier
I'm laughing at the idea of someone trying to get in good with the vanguard by charitably giving lots of money to people, learning why they can't keep real estate, and listening to the sister of someone who died of austerity and by day 69 is chomping at the bit for day 80.
It was actually a self fulfilling prophecy, they ended up starting the revolution.
This is it. This is the endgame of capitalism. Even when you win the cold war, even when every industry has been privatized, your country is full of paranoid citizens with delusions of being the last capitalist alive whose only purpose in life is to protect a system that has failed them in reality. Waging a war inside your own head, because the cold war never actually ended
Waging a war inside your own head
COINTELPRO....MKULTRA, same shit
If I'm the only one who knows...who's going to do the revolution?
sudden mass paranoia and hallucinations due to a bad outbreak of ergot poisoning. the communist revolt is led by three preteens from massachusetts who hadnt even known what communism was the week before.
How have I never visited r/Capitalism before.
You just know its a sub with an average age of like 16
“ The reality of everything, healthcare included, is that if someone else is paying, many people will be using that service when they shouldn't (Google: tragedy of the commons) - which will consume the services of healthcare workers.”
Fuck
Don't you see all these overcrowded hospitals in Europe? The people are all fine, yet they choose to have two stinking roommates and the worst food possible.
Yeah holy fuck these kids have never seen the inside of a hospital
"I believe with the access of private healthcare: I have a better chance at getting into a more exclusive healthcare pool." WTF
Holy shit how are you that fucking stupid? I was more informed at the age of 15.
a sub with an average age of like 16
moral maturity age anyway
Go look at r/fragilecommunism, oldest person there has to be 12 lol.
