    No no, you see. Its okay and normal to destroy your body for other peoples profit.

    The problem here is you enjoying yourself and experience happiness. Personal happiness is a sin in capitalism, because it might lead to thoughts of improving your situation, and thats the last thing anyone wants. Just think of what it could do to the shareholders!

    /s because I know some dim bulb will take this seriously otherwise.

        its on point, but if I dont /s then someone will come in and think I’m actually arguing in favor of ruining your body for capitalism.

        cause every time I’ve ever made a super obvious post, I always get some dimbulb response without the /s

      No no, you see. Its okay and normal to destroy your body for the glorious state.

      The problem here is you enjoying yourself and experience happiness. Personal happiness is a sin in communism, because it might lead to thoughts of freedom and self-improvement, and thats the last thing the government wants. Just think of what it could do to the production!

      /s because I know capitalism sucks, but communism sucks as well.

        Why would any government oppose people’s thoughts of freedom and self-improvement, when that’s specifically the goal of Communism to encourage, as opposed to Capitalism?

          Because Communist governments see any opposition to communism as a threat to their power, so they do not tolerate dissidence even if they claim to tolerate dissidence. It’s just another example of the paradox of tolerance.
