I don't think helping others buy food, or helping finance health-related services is bad at all. I think stealing the funds, or coercing the finance of food and health-related services is bad. Because theft and coercion are bad.
Fair enough.

You mean the government coerces one to serve Communist ideals by stealing part of one's wealth and misappropriating those funds to pocket it themselves and pay tribute to their international banking sponsors.
Yeah sure. But you forgot that government uses that money to pay for poor people's food and healthcare. But you think thats bad.
It can be done. The prospective "date" of its implementation is to be determined.
Well, okay, tell me when you succeed.

Why buy today when the price will be lower tomorrow
I think government can force people to buy things. That way, they have to buy.

Sorry but no, what? Do you presume to coerce me with "privilege" in lieu of that which is mine by right?
Oh no, I am not the government. Government makes you serve Communist ideals by "donating" part of your wealth to the poor. I just support the government.
None. I reject your options.
Okay, I guess 95% of anarchy just isnt good enough for you.
To bring anarchy into existence
Yeah... uuumm.... how about something that can be done?

Communism, good idea on paper, bad in practice.
Well, why do you live in a Communist country then? And why are all countries Communist then? Heh.

I'd prefer 100%.
Well, sorry but no. You will have to be satisfied with 95% for now.
That's not a product of Communism. It's a product of neither being enslaved nor being subject to a police state... yet.
Well, you can either have Communism or Feudalism Or slavery. Out of these 3, Communism lets you have most of the anarchy.
Well, anarchy would give one more. That's obvious, isn't it?
Well, yes, but pure anarchy doesnt exist. So what now?

Not as "cool" as communism, and thankfully so. I wouldn't want any political philosophy to which I subscribe be subject to your definition of "cool."
Okay, fine, I guess just Communism is cool then.
Through coercion, murder, theft, manipulation, etc. Allow me to give you your flowers.
Well, thank you for the flowers.
Unless you're a public servant, 95% of your life already is anarchy.
Hope you enjoy your 95% anarchy life then 😁
Well, see? Communism is not so bad since it lets you have 95% of anarchy. What other system would give you that much anarchy?

In Capitalism, the more wealth one has, the easier it is for him to create more wealth.
Thats why in Capitalism, wealthy ones always have advantage over poor ones.
The starting point is not same either, since rich kids have more resources than poor kids.
Capitalism is a class society. Rich class gives birth to rich kids. Poor class gives birth to poor kids.

Imagine two tribes.
One is Communist. The other capitalist.
In capitalist tribe, certain person makes spears. One day, that person discovers new way to make spears much faster and easier. Due to being selfish, that person keeps his knowledge a secret. That way, he earns more than others in tribe.
In Communist tribe, certain person also makes spears. One day, that person discovers new way to make spears much faster and easier. Due to being raised in Communist values, person shares his knowledge with everyone. Now everyone in Communist tribe makes spears much faster.
As a result, Communist tribe has much more spears.
Now compare this to today's societies.
In Capitalist society, rich man doesnt want to pay for education of the poor people. That way, the rich man keeps more money for himself.
In Communist society, rich man pays for education of the poor people, and society ends up having more educated people, more scientists, more inventors, and less crime.Entire society profits.
So in short, Capitalism is about profit for individual, where Communism is about profit for society as a whole.
This is why Communist societies always win. Its simply irrational to assume that individual's profit is more important than profit of society as a whole.

One has to wonder why would smart God create such a poorly designed world.
There are these options:
1. World can be better
2. World cannot be better
1 means that the world's creator isnt the smartest guy.
2 means that every brutal crime on Earth is essentially the best thing that could have happened to us.
There are 2 possibilities: God burns ordinary people in hell for God does not burn ordinary people in hell
Christians pretty much destroyed themselves after claiming that every non-Christian burns in hell.
Its an impossible position to defend.
Its not even a sane position.
How would I enjoy heaven knowing that all my atheist friends are burning alive in fire?
What person could enjoy in such outcome?

Korea is already strong 💪💪💪💪🇰🇵🇰🇵🇰🇵🇰🇵🚀🚀🚀🚀
Unless you were talking about South Korea. That one is shit.
"South Korea's military has apologised for failing to shoot down five drones that North Korea flew across their mutual border on Monday.
Seoul fired warning shots and sent jets and attack helicopters to shoot down the aircraft, one of which flew close to the capital.
Despite a five-hour pursuit, the drones reportedly all returned to North Korea."

My program is not meant to promote some great rational thinking or search for truth. It is just meant to make person happy and remove all depression. Its main strength is that it relies on combination of lots of things that were proven to make people happy, over 200 of different things which need to be practiced to be happy. Yes, I can sum up its points, then you can ask what interests you about it. The program worked well for me, I can even say too well. I cant exactly point out which parts of program were most helpful, but one meal per day, raw food and lots of water at once is how I started and noticed many benefits. Other parts I developed along the way.

I usually select part of text that has three or four sentences, so that I can memorize it quickly.
It has to be some catchy text, something that makes me think, wonder about the character, something that makes character special and outstanding.
I prefer to think of happy parts, but sometimes I cant help but memorize some sad parts too.

So are you saying memories are a choice?
No. Thoughts are a choice. Otherwise, the rapist has no choice but to rape, since thoughts control actions.
Suppressing memories may be a choice, but it does not always work.
It doesnt work only if you have low IQ and no self control. So yes, for most women it doesnt work.
I discovered that you can simply not think about the bad event, and the trauma goes away.
However, women, in their infinite stupidity, constantly think and talk about their rape.
I actually wrote an entire program with over 200 chapters on suppressing bad memories and depression. One of the key elements, besides certain diet and water drinking habbits, was to apsolutely never think or focus on the bad memory but to move on, forget and do that which makes you happy.
The problem with most people is that they dont know what makes them happy. For example, women often assume that quick pleasure, overeating and candies and meat make them happy, when truth is exactly opposite.
Denying yourself of quick pleasure makes you happy.
Problem solving makes you happy. Setting obstacles for yourself and overcoming them makes you happy.
Not eating but tolerating hunger for some time makes you happy.
Eating only once or twice a day makes you happy. Drinking lots of water at once, about 600 mililiters if you weight 60 kg, makes you happy, although should not be done more than 2 times per day.
Practicing "presence in the moment", where you avoid thinking about things that arent there, and only think and focus on the current environment, your breathing, body, senses...ect. makes you happy.
Its when people choose to think about bad things is when they become depressed and traumatized.
You are supposed to let go of the bad memory, and not hold on to it. The more you hold on to it, the more it will torment you.
I wrote down over 200 things that make people happy and that solve bad memories, and to no great suprise, rape victims do almost completely opposite of my total program and then they feel bad.
So yes, women make lots of mistakes and therapists are of no help since no therapist works with proper program.

When women have a traumatic event with a man, and that event is the polar opposite of stability and security, that enduring memory of rape can make it extremely hard to achieve the perception of security and stability in all future relationships with men.
Thats because women have brain of a chicken.

I dont exactly enjoy reading books, and its been a long time since I read some book entirely.
However, memorizing some parts of a book makes me feel like I read it. I even get better feeling than when I actually read the book.
I have memory problems, so I usually cant follow the plot of the book properly unless I write down the points.

Plenty of involuntary experiences in life.
I think trauma is a choice, since trauma can exist only while you think about said event, and thinking about said event is a choice.
Maybe mental damage isnt a choice, but trauma is.

I dont mean the entire book.
But for example, take small part of text from the book and memorize it.
It makes me feel connected with the book.
Its almost like part of the book is always with me as I repeat what I memorized.
The book becomes something more than "read and forget" kind of thing.
