Why do communists and/or socialists feel so morally superior to others?

[Slapper]

For the life of me... I can't comprehend how the disciples of such a murderous and vile ideology feel they have the moral upper hand over others. Yet, in every TV show, in every newspaper, in every radio station, in every debate, there's always a fucking commie that IMHO should be invited to leave 1 second in.

Why???

Any person with a strong ideology feels superior.
The merit of an ideology has to be measured in how much it is able to provide its members to wield an upper hand in society or even nature.
Communists/Socialists are in a way an antithesis to survival of the fittest and a disaster waiting to happen, especially for all underneath them.
But, also more selective ideologies are not perfect - at the end of the day some people will be wiped away while others will prosper and amass resources enabling them to "rewrite the rules".

It's the same reason why New York Yankee and New England Patriots fans feel superior to other sport fans.

[dj181]

it is the narcissits' creed 😎

[Coach is Back!]

Because Yankees and Patriots win.....Communism and Socialism always fail.

Dude on the right looks like Dolph Lundgren.

It’s basically cognitive dissonance. They don’t see all of the failures of socialism as failures. They’ve convinced themselves it wasn’t really socialism. They also don’t believe in economic theory, and, as a result, don’t have to be bothered with the reality of supply and demand, and scarcity. In their minds, there’s always enough to go around.

It’s an ideology that sounds good on paper.  We’re all going to share and everyone’s going to be equal and have everything they need. However, in practice it’s invariably a disaster.

Bang on, you speak a lot of sense TL...

The funny thing is that it is "common sense", there is enough to go around, yet people chose to not use it, or view it as scarce.

Because it's never "real socialism".

Their version will always be "real socialism".

The irony is that they are right for the wrong reason. It’s not really socialism when you can use the free market as a pressure valve. In a purely socialist economy this wouldn’t be the case.

“Everyone has access to free medical care that is ‘good enough.’ If you want to pay for better health care, you can’t,” he said. “That’s why those who can afford to, tend to go down to the U.S. for care if they have anything serious happen to them. You can have the greatest doctors in the world, but if the bureaucrats that run the system are making them treat patients with one hand tied behind their back, are they going to be delivering the best possible care

Great post.  Thank you for posting about Canada's communistic healthcare system.  Not to make it sound bad - it actually is pretty good, but I would like more choice than state-ran healthcare only.

I just try to keep myself healthy.  Hopefully I will live a long healthy life and just drop dead of a heart attack at age 95 or something.    One can only hope at least...ideally, I would like to avoid using Canada's socialistic healthcare system, if that is possible.

I can't for the life of me understand why capitalist slaves continuously defend their miserable conditions of existence by aping rhetoric they learned from bad-faith cultural critics?

Because they're not slaves, and they realize they live in one of the wealtiest nations in the world, with a quality of life superior to the one other countries possess.

Ever wondered why people risk their life so they can go to capitalist countries, where they become illegals and have no rights whatsoever? I don't see many people going to Venezuela, Cuba or North Korea.

I swear some of you have a twisted perception of what poverty is.

Why???

Fanatism.

They give up critical thinking and replace it with whatever rubbish their leaders keep repeating.

They're unable to question the moral and the aptitude of their leaders.


Venezuela has hyperinflation; the goverment claims businessman are too greedy and keep rising the prices.

Some socialist politician is involved in a corruption scandal; the media is lying, they're making up the evidences.


For them, their leaders are avatars of moral purity.

Have to disagree with you there. They could survive, but only like ants: completely devoid of personality, mindlessly slaving away to make their leader more wealthy. They simply do not value the individual to the same degree as strong people do. And why would they? Individually they are weak. So their ideology makes perfect sense.

Because its easier to steal from others than work for something for ones' self.  Socialism and Communism is the belief system of losers and the lazy.

One of the main reasons why it’s pretty good it’s because it can “cheat” off the private sector. You have the largest economy in the world right next-door, 10 times the size of Canada’s. American pharmaceutical companies and medical supply companies bring prices down as a result of their r&d. This wouldn’t happen in a purely socialist economy.

You are right, good point - "survival of the fittest" unfortunately is often taken advantage of by cheaters who refuse to die off.

[El Diablo Blanco]

It's because they're taught this from birth. Just like kids here in America who have to say the Pledge of Allegiance ever day in school.  Forcing their loyalty from a young age.  Why the fuck should a kid pledge their allegiance to any country at a young age?

DRUM ROLL......
