Good counter-argument. :3


You would have needed to have made an argument for that to be a counter argument.

I think the world will become very different from today. I think our familiar modern culture, formed by capitalism, such as fast food, video game, individualism, and such will be removed by communism or socialism and replaced. Depending on the nation, capitalism will be frowned upon or actively persecuted. Every states will be united. Our freedom will decrease. And more

So, what do you think, people?

Socialistic practices are already pretty common throughout the world, so I doubt anything would actually change that much, or that your precious "Freedoms" would be taken from you.

Depending on who you ask, some would say that US healthcare would get worse.

The end of everything.

Civilization would revert to a primitive level, billions would die and technological progress would regress to minimal development.

To say nothing of the effects it would have on the meme economy. Everybody knows that Commies can't meme.

Crimes committed by Muslims will be proof of a pan-Islamic plot and Islam's inherent evil. On the other hand, crimes committed by non-Muslims will merely be the acts of mentally ill lone wolves who do not represent their professed belief system at all.
The probability of someone secretly participating in homosexual acts is directly proportional to the frequency and loudness of their publicly professed disapproval and/or disgust for homosexuality.
If Donald Trump accuses an individual of malfeasance without evidence, it is almost a certainty either he or someone associated with him has in fact committed that very same malfeasance to a greater degree.

Going off of what Schof said earlier, thank you for showing that you don't understand the differences between Socialism and Communism.

That's not a commie meme.

Edit: I should add because that meme works.

Thoroughly disappointing.

So you are implying that the motoring revolution did not entice passengers and goods off the railways, despite leading to the creation of the motorway network of today, and the Beeching cuts?


And famously in 1995 the sudden boom in train usage to the point that today more people use trains than at any other time in history is down to the fact that the M25 is a cycling lane and all cars have been banned.

Your point is nonsensical. 100 years ago we did not have commercial air flight. Today 260 million people depart and land in British airports every year. This doesn't mean it replaced car or train usage.

Rising incomes have allowed all modes of transport to grow simultaneously. Bar horse-drawn carriages, I guess.

Honestly, I think that with automation becoming more and more prevalent, and assuming that job creation remains as it has been in recent decades (as per Kurzgesagt's video here), I imagine that if the current economic system continues as is, I feel that many people will probably have enough of the rich getting richer and establish a socialist society.

From there, I'm sure automation can be used to help benefit society as a whole instead of just the select elite.
