>Noooooooooo, we can't do socialism! It will cause empty grocery shelves like in venezuela and the USSR!

I bought a 48 pack of toilet paper this morning, Quilted Northern actually, there was toilet paper on the shelves....and there weren't even 20+ people in the aisle fighting over it.
I didn't even need it, I still had like 10 rolls from my last pack I bought but I figured since it was there I'd better grab some.

boomers eternally btfo how will they ever recover?

Congrats it took a global pandemic to make everyday conditions the same

Boomers take all the houses. We take all the TP. You brought this on yourselves.

>Boomers destroy our economy and helped put us in this mess to begin with
>BOO HOO YOU HAVE TO LET OLD PEOPLE GET WHAT THEY WANT
Nah, fucking cough on them and make their last years on this Earth miserable

First come, first served.
Don't those old farts get out of bed at like 4:30 anyway? Why didn't he go shopping earlier?
And exactly which groceries should I go without for his sake?

That picture is from the UK.

Pretty much if you actually look at history the conditions that caused the empty shelves in the USSR were nothing related to "muh socialism" but rather historical events, pandemics, and various contextual issues. The shelves weren't NORMALLY unstocked, just like they're not NORMALLY unstocked in the USA under capitalism.

But the right wrenches things from context, then when context comes around and bites them in the ass too they whine "but that was DIFFERENT!"

WHOOSH

also your strawman doesnt exist yet, give it time or fabricate a better one

>purple and orange colour scheme
>"Bin bags"
that's definitely a Sainbury's from the UK

>Wow there was a little minor discrepancy in something you said, which even though it's not really relevant to the discussion and fundamentally still applies anyhow, I'm going to use to completely dismiss everything you said.
OK. Cool then.

This is what Canadian grocery stores have looked like every day for years, I see absolutely nothing wrong with that picture. Someone explain?

>"Bin bags" whatever the fuck that is
That picture isn't from America

Very itchy.

Americans are more worried about wiping their asses than their economy collapsing...

you mean the time they "muh socialismed" so hard they decided that darwin's theory of genetic trait inheritance was evil capitalist lies, and accidentally their entire winter wheat crop for twenty years in a row?

Grocery stores are irrelevant

Nice try frog. Our supply chains are intact and the food industry is hiring record number of people to meet the demand. European countries will collapse in a month one by one, while we bbq outside on a sunny summer day.

"Bin Bags" is UK wording not USA wording

>bin bags
>American
nice bait

The guy was probably up at the crack of dawn, he could have gone to the store and gotten in line with the rest of us. Heck, he probably didn't even have to go to work that day; he could have gone shopping then gone back home and gone back to bed. I have no sympathy for someone who isn't willing to put in effort.

You seem to forget that we had prolonged periods of famine and starvation in the USA during the 20th century as well, under capitalism. In fact, under a system that was in many ways MORE capitalistic even than what we have now. The dust bowl, the great depression. We used socialism to get ourselves out of every megacapitalist financial crash we've ever had, too.

My grocery store was fully stocked and everyone was wearing gloves and masks today.

I applaud the efforts of all the people working there. I hope you guys make lots of cash.

It's the U.K,it's a Sainsburys supermarket in

Empty shelves from high demand is different than empty shelves from low supply. Retard.

Yes, I agree. An unfortunate drought period in the capitalist US midwest during the mid/late 30s is exactly as inevitable and unavoidable as Trofim Lysenko's vernalization becoming the official state science in communist USSR.

Like I said earlier in the thread, the empty shelves in the USSR happened due to contextual events too, but when it happens to Americans it's just "Oh, it's different when it happened to us!". And you're actually wrong at least in part, because we've got major problems with our supply chain right now, which is globalized thanks to capitalism and the profit incentive.

The great depression was caused by bad economic policy during the 20s (economic policy which, BTW, closely mirrors our own economic policy now with periods of massive wealth inequality and deregulation).

So you're just wrong. And you're also cherry-picking a certain event and turning a blind eye to the full course of the 20th century, in which both the socialist USSR and the megacapitalist USA have black marks, atrocities, immoralities and poor decisions that caused problems for their own people on their hands

>And you're also cherry-picking a certain event
five great pests

it is completely inevitable that state socialism will eventually be led by some Great Mind with a Wonderful Idea.

More than a minor discrepancy a gigantic leap of faith is required as you conflate two different causalities, real smoothbrain shit, of course you don't engage it, you're incapable of it.
You may have lied enough to believe it, but not well enough for us to.

You should also keep in mind that the examples of socialism that right-wingers like to cherry-pick and say "look wut happened!" are all examples of military dictatorships or autocracies. Nothing democratic. If you have no democracy, whether under socialism or capitalism, you're going to get problems. Unfortunately, under capitalism, even if you have democracy the profit incentive drives everyone to corruption and your vote basically stops matters, which is the USA's problem and why we've had such a dark and sordid moral history ourselves

Why is it different? Is it a shortage due to corona? OP asked how Americans feel about it, and the old people in the aisle are white, so I just assumed he was talking about America.

>democratic socialism
you mean the EU method?
When that fails will it be blamed on the Houses of Parliament, because socialism did nothing wrong?

Socialism REQUIRES a strong state otherwise you will never get those evil subsistence farmers to align with your dregs and factory cogs

i don't. their generation destroyed the last hope for the white man by killing hitler and so they must be punished for all eternity.

>How do Americans feel about this?

fuck boomers. Pretty much that. Old Americans made their choice from 1939 to present day. We could have lived in a Reich. Now, if all goes well, we'll get FEMA camps and an American Holodomor. The only cure for the American condition is ultraviolence.

I don't see how you say socialism requires a strong state when there's an entire half of socialists, maybe a majority, who are not marxists but libertarians and don't even really believe in the state, and have ideas centered more around collective ownership of means of production, or moving toward personal property as opposed to private property, and so forth. Socialism is pretty explicitly anti-state.

Socialism is pretty explicitly anti-state.
To add to this, I mean you understand that your "private property" exists via state violence, right? I talk to right-wingers a lot, and a lot of the time they never put 2 and 2 together on that one. It just never occurs to them. IDK. When there's a corporation the state violence is protecting their vast swaths of land that they supposedly "own". That is statism. Socialism is mostly just an opposition to that statism.

>an entire half of socialists
the ones who depend on a state they 'dont agree with'?

Yeah, and four fifths of all toddlers are independent from their mothers because they spit up the milk

So Communism didn't fail on its own, it was outside influences?

You do understand that ALL property exists due to violence, correct?

The woods don't belong to the people, they belong to the wolves and bears. The people's place is to be huddling in caves for warmth. We own the woods because we killed the bears and tamed the wolves.

>the ones who depend on a state they 'dont agree with'?
What is this supposed to mean? I don't understand this mentality. We are economically enslaved to the state. That is indisputable. What you're saying is very much akin to "you mean the black slaves who work on the plantation they want to be free from?". I mean, it's a mentality that just makes no sense. Of course they depend on the state they dont agree with, because statism enslaves us through private property and economics.
>Yeah, and four fifths of all toddlers are independent from their mothers because they spit up the milk
Wut?

Git good

I feel like there's not enough shart in that Mart.

it looks the same here.

Nothing really. where I live, it's the Mexicans doing this. The only isles that are empty are the instant noodles, quick meals, and frozen dinners. The only produce that's gone are peppers.

Literally everything "healthy" is untouched. All the white people are just shopping normally and all the goblins are waiting in a little horde around the paper products isle for the TP to restock.

You aren't a socialist because you 'feel like' a socialist or even if you 'philosophically agree' with socialism. Your tranny ideology fails in the face of reality. You are a socialist if you are in a socialist nation.

what a fucking retard

Test

I saw this movie, "Moscow On The Potomac"

So what I'm getting from you is that basically the way you see life is an animalistic struggle for resources and to come out on top in competition. So you believe in running to the state to oppress your fellow human beings, which you inherently see as your "enemy" and your "competition" for "ownership".

OK. Well there's nothing I can say to you, but that is exactly why people hate conservatives. Because that is EXACTLY the mentality that you all have, and it is all rooted in fear, paranoia and a massive insecurity that exists on a personal level within you all deep down, which is why you all drive big diesel trucks, and tote AR15s, and wear "ooooo little snowflake" shirts and all of this other egregious, empty displays of machismo, while whenever it comes down to actually making a decision or doing something meaningful in life, you immediately cower down, shout "we support our boys in blue!" and do the safest thing you can. Because you are cowards. You are frightened, insecure cowards

Makes my butt itch

There was slightly more than nothing on the shelves today. Hope slightly rising.

> bin bags
> American

Sure thing Colgate.

WTF? WTF is this shit? I'm a tranny and only people who live under socialism are socialists. OK schizo

What the fuck is a "bin bag"?

wolves and bears arent people, furfag

You mean those issues that socialism caused,

That's your answer?

To the bin it goes

it's what muslim wives wear when they walk around outside

that man reminds me of my grandpa. he died in 2008 and i miss him all the time. he was a POW in germany for 2 years after flying 12 missions. he was a tough guy

I mean really, THAT is your answer to what I wrote? What is wrong with you people, S M H.

carefully re-examine and explain how you got to the conclusion of [oppress your fellow human beings, which you inherently see as your "enemy" and your "competition" for "ownership"]

Why is that man so fucking small

>what is staggered shelving

>the empty shelves in the USSR happened due to contextual events
yeah. the contextual event of being in a communist state.

>are all examples of military dictatorships or autocracies.
Which is the only way socialism can be implemented.

I don't care because
>bin bags
it's a fucking Brit.

I'm a bit of a prepper. I mean, I never went crszy about it, but I always kept 2 months worth of necessary staples and other stuff on hand. I didn't really pay any attention to all this shit cuz worst came to worst I was already stocked up on stuff just as a matter of habit.

I went down to the Walmart to get some extra daipers and baby formula, and luckily they had it. They didn't have jack shit else though. Was pretty sobering since its the only place in 50 miles to buy groceries from here and if I hadnt been prepared like I am I would have either had to join the crazy panicked rush or been shit outta luck.
