Putnam Study debunking
From https://www.businessinsider.com/immigration-myths-open-us-borders-debunked-2018-8?op=1#myth-3-they-will-undermine-social-cohesion-3
It looked like a distinctly inconvenient truth, when the famous sociologist Robert Putnam conducted a study in 2000 which revealed that diversity undermines cohesion in communities. Specifically, he found that it makes people less trustful of each other and less inclined to form friendships or do voluntary work. Basically, as Putnam concluded on the basis of a staggering 30,000 interviews, it makes them "pull in like a turtle."

Shocked, he put off releasing his findings for years. When they were finally published in 2007, the effect was — predictably — akin to dropping a bombshell. Hailed as one of the most influential sociological studies of the century, Putnam's research was cited in countless newspapers and reports, and up until this very day he's the go­to source for politicians who doubt the benefits of a multicultural society.

There's only one problem. Putnam's findings were debunked years ago.

A later retrospective analysis of 90 studies found no correlation whatsoever between diversity and social cohesion. Not only that, as sociologists Maria Abascal at Princeton University and Delia Baldassarri at New York University discovered, Putnam had made a critical error. He hadn't taken account of the fact that African Americans and Latinos report lower levels of trust, regardless of where they live. When you adjust for this, Putnam's shocking discovery crumbles to dust.

So, if diversity isn't to blame for the lack of cohesion in modern­ day society, what is? The answer is simple: poverty, unemployment, and discrimination. "It is not the diversity of a community that undermines trust," conclude Abascaland Baldassarri, "but rather the disadvantages that people in diverse communities face."

<Economy is important in determining trust, materialists proved correct again.


> Ziller (2015) analyzed changes in trust in 22 European countries between the years 2002 and 2010. Cross-sectionally, nations with higher levels of ethnic diversity and non-Western immigrants had lower levels of trust. However, changes in these variables did not predict changes in trust over time.

>Longitudinal changes in general immigration levels did, suggesting an effect of immigrants qua immigrants, regardless of race. However, this effect was only negative when the economy was not growing. At levels of economic growth above zero, the effect of immigrants on trust was positive and statistically insignificant.

>Finally, Kikergaard (2017) analyzed data on 3,100 US counties while looking at how ethnic diversity related to a county socioeconomic status. This analysis found that the relationship between ethnic diversity and SES goes away after controlling for cognitive ability.

>Fieldhouse and Cutts (2010) look at both subjective ratings of trust in an area and objective participation in voluntary associations. Diversity is found to have a smaller effect than poverty in the US, though the same was not true in the UK. That being said, the impact of diversity in the UK was only significant for one of two measures of social capital.

>Dincer (2011) calculated racial diversity based on 6 ancestry categories. Diversity was found to have a U shaped relationship with trust, with trust peaking when diversity equals .34.Other variables were found to have a linear relationship with trust. A 10% increase in the proportion of people with college degrees predicted a 10% increase in the proportion of people who have a high level of trust. A 10% decrease in income inequality predicted a 15% increase in trust. Etc.

So one of the main reasons /pol/tards are so resistant to Marxist ideas is the fact that they believe in race realism and similar "scientific" ideas. I will attempt to debunk three of the most crucial race realist tenets in this thread.

a. Ethnic diversity(With the same culture even) causes societal trust to decline.
b. Blacks are genetically predisposed to commit more crimes.
c. There is a genetic IQ gap between races.

A: There are two types of diversity
-Diversity of culture and language
-Diversity of race
>It is found that diversity of race when culture and language are the same does not effect trust significantly(2% difference at most) thus proving Civic nationalists correct.

>Diversity of culture and race causes a minor but significant decline in trust, however the effect is not seen in a good economy but a bad one. Also poverty still has a greater effect on trust than even this kind of diversity.

Source:https://leftypol.org/edu/res/5576.html#5579

B. Now it is true that in the USA race is a stronger predictor of criminality than poverty. However single motherhood is another factor which is stronger than race.
>Also the racial crime gap between Hispanics and whites seem to have closed" Declines in disparities were more pronounced when considering jail inmates of both sexes between 2005 and 2018 with the ratio of disparity per capita declining from 4.8 to 3.2 between blacks and non-Hispanic whites and 1.6 to 1.0 between Hispanics and non-Hispanic whites.[79] "
>Another factor is inequality which drives homicide rates.
>over a 20-year period, the American states that had the greatest inequality in visible expenditure—spending on items such as clothing, jewellery, cars, and eating out—also suffered the most from violent crime. So if you’ve got it, don’t flaunt it—especially if your neighbours don’t have it as well.

However let us look at other countries.
>In Brazil the Non-white homicide rate is double that of the white rate.
>But their poverty rate is also double that of whites.

Finally the UNDOC(UN department on drugs and crime) statistics completely dismantles this argument.
The Homicide rate of Africa as a whole is 13.5

>However if we look at poor countries without any inequality or active conflicts we see that the homicide rate is ridiculously low, Dirt poor countries like Malawi, Benin, Burkina Faso, Liberia, Sao tome and Principe, Guinea and Guinea-Bissau have rates between 1-3.


>The countries which have high homicide rates in Africa are horribly unequal like S.Africa and friends or have an active conflict going on like CAR or the DRC or Mali.


>Finally we have the middle countries with rates between 3-8? Good rates but still slightly uncomfortable, the Horn of Africa all seem to share maybe it's due to the low-intensity conflict that is there or maybe something else.

C. I've looked into this topic, and It's too complex for me to unravel, however I would like to point a few things out.

>The famous IQ map of the world I posted Is wrong.

>The famous IQ researcher Richard Lynn who made the map used the IQ of mentally retarded children in spain to come up with the numbers for E.Guinea, and many other such "mistakes"(Probably deliberate).
>Another famous IQ researcher Eysenck has had his papers retracted or accepting money from tobacco companies I think.
>But In the end this topic requires many more lines than what I'm capable of.

<A persons IQ can fluctuate by 13 points in a few months thanks to wealth and poverty.


>In a series of experiments, the researchers found that pressing financial concerns had an immediate impact on the ability of low-income individuals to perform on common cognitive and logic tests. On average, a person preoccupied with money problems exhibited a drop in cognitive function similar to a 13-point dip in IQ, or the loss of an entire night’s sleep.


>To better gauge the influence of poverty in natural contexts, between 2010 and 2011 the researchers also tested 464 sugarcane farmers in India who rely on the annual harvest for at least 60 percent of their income. Because sugarcane harvests occur once a year, these are farmers who find themselves rich after harvest and poor before it. Each farmer was given the same tests before and after the harvest, and performed better on both tests post-harvest compared to pre-harvest.

I'm a Socialist who was a right-winger once, and I would like to offer a powerful set of arguments against Ethnic nationalism grounded in historical materialism. Ethnic nationalism or fascism today is traditionalist, looking back to the past in a cowering fashion, as opposed to yesteryears fascists especially the Italian fascists who were modernist and futuristic and this age's communists who are futuristic and forward looking. This point will be crucial.
CRISPR: One of the fundamental principles undergirding ethnic nationalism is people with genetic affinity forming a close knit community. Ethnic nationalism stresses the role, importance and immutability of genetics. However here the liberal cliché wrong side of history holds true, with the advancement of gene editing technology ,Ethnic nationalism becomes Outdated as genetics become more fluid and less important.
Your enemy and Internationalism: Most people here are red pilled on the fact that International Capitalism is their enemy and it's least harmful effects(Yes least). But thus the conclusion should be reached that to destroy international capitalism an effort must be international. Even if the whole of Britain became an Ethnostate, it would be doomed if capitalism would be allowed to continue in the rest of the world, why?(for more info visit r/collapse)
The Fate of merry England: Even if England were to become a "Socialist" Ethnostate tomorrow it would be doomed in 80 years if capitalism in the whole earth did not stop and the whole of Europe turned into tundra and taiga thanks to the failure of the Gulf stream due to climate change. If England and Europe are to be saved action would have to be taken on an international scale.
An era of disturbance: This is an era of reaction, reaction to the ravages of neoliberal capitalism in Europe the Far-right might rise while in Latinoamerica the Left is rising, there is a Marxist-Leninist predicted to win the elections in Peru and in Chile Communist party won a victory and will take a prominent role in drafting it's constitution. In the USA it looks like there will be civil unrest between the emerging Left(Socialists and Communists) and the right(ethnic nationalists) in which the left will probably prevail .

Maybe because it's a bad fucking idea to make untested drugs globally enforced? Look up the CDC website and find the VAERS data base. Vaccine Adverse Effects Reporting System. It’s climbing over 6300 deaths as a result of the covid19 experimental vaccine. And it’s estimated that it only captures between 1 and 10% of adverse effects and deaths. So you could conservatively multiply that number by 10. To contrast with other approved vaccines…. that’s more deaths and adverse effects than all other vaccines combined in the last 30 years. The FDA and CDC themselves noted numerous extreme and fatal symptoms from the vaccine but were pressured by the government and corporations to accept the drugs.

These vaccines are not made to nor do they prevent transmission, as was repeatedly said by the manufacturers, the CDC, NHS and Dr. Fauci. They only reduce it somewhat but not enough (up to 30%), depending on circumstances. Not so much with new variants. UK and IL reports from last week have the same conclusions.
According last week's AAP report (p.20), over 18 months a total of 335 children deaths with Covid out of 4 million official cases (however the 4 million may actually be exaggerated givene that hospitals have economic incentive - insurance money - to label anyone dead as a covid victim rather than a less profitable cause of death).
Even taking the 4 million at face value, that's 1/2 the 600+ annual child deaths from influenza

Not permitting someone to work in your home country is coercion (that's kind of a big deal when pondering the most basic medical ethics) While risks are officially "low", it is already known they're far from zero, and long term effects are unknown. You are talking forcing someone take a new kind of drug for which there is absolutely no long term safety data, in animals or humans. All produced by companies with long histories of unethical medical practices, and who are protected on a federal (and now global) level from any and all attempts to sue them in court for injury and death caused by their products. I won't even go into how the US government repeatedly spread Syphilis and radiation poisoning to people by claiming mandatory vaccines - (Tuskegee anyone?).

As a side note I found this post while scrolling a user named https://www.reddit.com/user/swordsaintzero/ out of a morbid curiosity of his acidic and legitimately toxic posts.

Apparently this guy is a long-winded smart-ass who thinks being constantly condescending and writing lengthy diatribes makes him smart… unfortunately reddit mods seem to agree. I'd think he was a bot (because he posts nearly everywhere) but I have yet to see an A.I. pull off such a good impression of a snooty 1990s college professor. Something of note is that at least one of their posts is a long anecdotal rant about how farmers and city boys (workers) are all entitled retards and that liberalism is the best thing ever! - or something along those lines. The sheer nose-raised condescension and utter disregard for the knowledge and thoughts (and anecdotes) of others is ironic beyond belief, considering that this same user constantly berates people for stating their experiences and belittles and dismisses anyone's concerns or thoughts.

TL;DR: Don't be like this scunt; In the words of a good man, "Everyone you ever meet has a full life worth of experiences, teachings, and fears that are all different from yours. No one fears something for "no reason", but ignoring the reason for their fear is a sure-fire way to make sure they keep fearing it."

don't argue with people who aren't receptive to arguments. If someone doesn't want to be convinced (e.g. most /pol/yps) don't waste time trying to convince them.

Some /pol/yps ARE receptive to Marxist thought, but they are few and far between. Making fun of "wagies" that defend their bosses is a useful strategy. Describe how ideology ultimately comes from material changes (e.g. multiculturalism being the product of economic globalization).

Remember: Only plant the seeds of Marxist thought in fertile grounds.

While I'm glad the mods appreciated by comment I've had the opportunity to talk with some more non-liberal trans people and read comments and social media of trans people.

A good comment from one of these people in regards to "transphobia" and other such things is the following:
>Most people don't hate women or minorities, they just hate the (overbearing) activists
>The majority of people don't hate the black family living in the South Side of Chicago just doing their part to try and get by, they hate the jerk activists who razed a bunch of small businesses to the ground because they could.*
>People don't hate the woman who was abused by her ex-husband and is trying to move forward with her life, people hate the rude activists who hate men and blame anything and everything wrong in their lives on some vague "patriarchy".
>People don't hate the 20-year-old transgender person who struggled with gender identity disorder and is now living a happy life with their new identity, people hate the militant transgender activists with crappy personalities and a screwed-up idea of social justice.
>Some people are jerks and are worthy of our rage. Just make sure that we are directing your rage at the right people.
Also in regards to 'trans kids'
>liberal idealogue: "Do you feel like you're a boy or a girl?"
<5 year old kid with little to no conception of sexuality: "I don't know"
>lib idealogue: "OK that means you're non binary and probably trans"
So-called activists forget that minority people are individuals, not voting blocks. You can’t lump gays in with Blacks and Muslims and say everything is hunky dory because “look at how marginalized they all are!” It’s this morbid fetish activists have of either simplifying groups or complicating individuals’ identities for the sake of power.

*As a comment on this comment, before people go batshit about it being action or whatnot - the burning of buildings during the BLM protests and the raiding of small businesses (not talking about Target here) were wholly uncalled for, it was just smashing shit for the sake of it, and then using a cry of "revolution" to justify themselves, this is an inherent part of any social movement and the more liberal and capitalist-funded a movement may be, the more likely this will occur. The Bolshevik communists despite their estrangement from capitalism did have groups and members engaging in pointless vandalism and banditry but the Communist movement did not leave these people uncriticized or unpunished for discrediting the name of the Revolution with their actions. This same principle is not applied by the movements in the USA.

because it's literally logically impossible. There is only one truth. For example, if the sky was blue, then the truth would be that the sky is blue. The sky isn't grey or black, piss yellow or babyshit green. It's blue. Truth is a singular concept; there is no such thing as "multiple truths."
In that same vain, lets try to place various political beliefs - that being answers to the question of "How do we reduce human suffering in a society?" - on a left-to-right spectrum. Notice how there's no real acceptance that there's an "absolute" Socialism. There's no belief that's 100% Leftist, specifically. It becomes a fractal of beliefs at that point. Is Marxism more Left than Leninism? Is it more left to have a strong, central government or a communal decision making process? Etc. etc.
On the right, there's nothing further right than Fascism. Fascism has it's own distinct flavours, sure. But nobody questions their status as "the furthest of Far-Right." Is British Fascism more far right than Nazism or Italian Fascism? Even though Mosley's beliefs took a lot from Syndicalism, nobody ever has questioned the status of British Fascism as being equally right-winged as every other ideology. It's a subconscious recognizing of Fascism or Nazism or whatever as "The Truth." It's singular, there are no fractals of what's more right-wing, just a simple matter of the fine details.

How can a simple left to right spectrum encapsulate political thought? Nevermind that, how tf is whether the sky is blue in any way comparable to political thought? If anything, it's marxism that is "the sky is blue" of politics.

Setting aside the ridiculous premise that whether something is considered left or right is in any way indicative of reality or any universal truth, how is that something exclusive to fascism? If you asked any random person, would they not correctly say that communism is as far left as you can go? Would not any communist consider themselves as such too? Even completely different tendencies, from Maoism to Leftcom to Anarchism, do they not all uphold Marxism as an universal truth? Is the far right itself not divided on multiple issues, from race to economics? It honestly scares me that a person wrote all that thinking he was saying something of worth. If you are a fascoid, then I can't say I'm surprised you have such a basic kindergarden understanding of politics and reality in general.

>there is no such thing as "multiple truths."
Not quite, there are singular objective truths (very hard to dinf in history and politics), but everyone has perspectives that are true to them.
>fascism is right wing's extreme
Well yes, and? A person isn't born a fascist, not Hitler, nor Himmler nor anyone. People are almost never born evil, or fascist, but we can condemn the behavior of an adult, but we can also understand that while it is extremely hard to to make someone change what they believe to be true, it is possible, just as it is possible for a communist or leftist to become a fascist or nazi, because people can change. A social experiment called Third Wave demonstrated that people can become caught up in monstrous ideologies or ideas or acts and only understand their wrong doing after being forced to consider the objective truth of their act. Otherwise, why would fascists dehumanize their victims? Because they try to justify this to themselves because most still have ethics and morals, and so they still have a chance to be saved from themselves, which is why the German Wehrmacht and people were not executed or attacked en masse for Nazi warcrimes. The Nazis and killers were punished, but many were rehabilitated. It's a complex ethical and moral question which most people frankly do not want to go into because it is so much easier to say "fascists are subhumans to be killed" rather than to try and stop and save these deluded people. The same applies to those who allow such dogmatism, because it is easier to believe such ideas as right and to let it occur than attempt to gainsay such ideologues and risk being a victim of theirs as well.

TL;DR: Nazis are victims of their own lack/suppression of empathy through dehumanization, and by rejecting the possibility that a reactionary may be rehabilitated and so saved, we engage in the same dehumanization by labeling them as sub-human monsters. A reactionary member of the working class is still a part of the working class, merely ones who are not class conscious or have lost faith in class consciousness. People rarely fight, kill or promote monstrous acts and ideologies out of sadistic desire, they usually do so because they want material benefits to live in peace and to gain betterment for themselves and their kin. After all, few people truly fight for or against an ideology, but for what that ideology represents for them. People wouldn't hate communism is they didn't think it would harm them and their family, just as they would hate capitalism is they truly understood how it does harm them and their family. At the same time, it's is the system one must hate not necessarily the non-class-conscious people who live in it, even if you must fight them to free them.

I think the point made is that you can't tell unless you make a sincere and significant effort. The USSR did execute and imprison anti-communists, but also tried to put some effort in rehabilitating people.

Nice strawman faggot, good job with your awful reading comprehension, since morality of fascism wasn't the point at all.

Historically fascism has only caused misery, stagnation and death for the majority of those who experience it - especially in the long-run - part-taking in unethical and criminal behavior in 'achieving' this.

Holy kek your understanding of WW-II is fucking middle-school tier.
Germany started WW-II and general expansionism because its economy was close to collapse and relied on pillaging others for resources because trade wasn't cutting it. As for "literally everyone" Germany had the economic resources and support of all of Western Europe with significant funding and support from companies like Ford, GM, General Electric, Rockafeller's Standard Oil Co (which continued to provide oil to German submarines until 1942), IBM and MANY more. The British Royal family literally gave away gold to the Nazi German economy to support it and promoted Hitler. The German economy on average was actually worse in Nazi Germany and relied on the War to keep it functioning at all, a literal military-industrial complex run on slave labor of Osterbeiters and workers paid worse wages than in the shitty Weimar Republic.

The USSR accounted for more than 50% of the patents of its time, and that was just registered ones.

>Muh iphone

KekI'll admit it's been a REALLY long time since that shit came up. Pic 2 and 3 related. Also since you want to use analogies - complaining about iphones is like a king telling a merchant-peasant revolt that they can't use the pitchforks and carts made under feudalism. in summaary there is no ethical consumption under capitalism because there is no way for you to actually feasibly ensure that, say the coffee you drink to stay up at work isn't being farmed by child slaves in South America or the cotton clothing or nylon clothing isn't woven in 3rd world sweatshops.

Now for iphones specifically
Capitalism did not, in fact, make the iPhone. Labor did. The ‘-ism’ merely determines who gets paid. Also, most of the technology present in the iPhone actually originated in the State sector, not the so-called ‘free market.’ The only capitalist part of the iphone, is its marketing. Its actual design, components etc. etc. are government funded and researched thus making the phone itself a product of the state. Making it a publicly sold item doesn't make it a capitalist creation, it is a capitalist use of a non-capitalist creation.

As Mariana Mazzucato writes in an article for New Scientist, “In [Apple’s] early stages the company received government cash support via a $500,000 small business investment company grant. And every technology that makes the iPhone a smartphone owes its vision and funding to the state: the internet, GPS, touchscreen displays and even the voice-activated smartphone assistant Siri all received state cash. The US Defence Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) bankrolled the internet, and the CIA and the military funded GPS. So, although the US is sold to us as the model example of progress through private enterprise, innovation there has benefited from a very interventionist state.” It is not the case even in theory that capitalism or ‘the free market,’ made the iPhone. At least, not the sort of capitalism people who make this argument usually advocate for.
Steve Jobs, just like his contemporaries like Musk and Bezos and Gates was a trust-fund kid. Rich parents with rich corporate connections, so he had no trouble taking Steve Wozniak's creations and making them big,.

I would also like to mention that slave labor is used to mine cobalt in the Congo, which eventually makes its way into iPhone batteries. So you can claim (falsely) credit to capitalism for the iphones tech and take the L for its use of slave labor OR admit that it has nothing to do with capitalism and is just a product within a system and the most capitalist part of the phone is the various social media apps and it's planned obsolescence that promotes consumerism.

Oh and I don't use iphones and never have, they're garbage, like all Apple products have been since the 2010s.

Let's start with David Thorstad, a political activist born in 1941. Active in Trotskyist politics, even going so far to become a member of the Upper West Side branch of the Socialist Worker's Party, even becoming a staff writer for their newspaper, the Militant. In 1973 however, he left, citing the lack of action towards the gay liberation movement. He later became the president of the Gay Activists Alliance.
He later went on to found NAMBLA, a literal group of pedophiles.

>they happened in socialist nations to try to bridge themselves with the developed world
No shit? Both Russia and China and the entire eastern bloc were decades and decades behind the west when the revolutions happened, and yet they not only managed to catch up, but surpass them. In China's case, they not only ended famine in a country where they had 1800 famines in 2000 years, but they also raised their life expectancy faster than any other country in history. My country literally went from neo-feudalist agrarian state to fully industrialized in just a couple decades, meanwhile a couple decades of capitalism damn near fuckin de-industrialized us kek.

The government already assessed the idea of putting the technologies together but found little practical use for it and shelved it for later, and again this combination of things already existed repeatedly before the iphone but because the people who created them were trust-fund kids, they didn't have the marketing capital to make it big money, and that's ON TOP of the GOVERNMENT FUNDING AND SUPPORTING STEVE JOBS.

LOL, the USSR was literally under a Gold Blockade since the mid 1920s and could only export wood and grain to buy anything, they literally had medieval level agriculture, no industry and the country had just fought a Civil war with losses comparable to WW1, especially since The USA, Britain, France Japan and many more attempted a foreign intervention using guns, bombs, gas and more against people armed with old rifles and salvaged cannons as well as some other old equipment. And yet within a decade the standard of living jumped to a modern level and with fewer losses than during the 100+ years of the Western Industrial Revolution.

Key word capital, not capitalism. Obviously, a worker needs a factory, and a factory needs a worker, but the capitalist having private ownership of the factory doesn't fulfill any purpose except being a useless middleman. Using your fucked up broken analogy, imagine a guy owning your body, getting to dictate what you consume.
>The Soviet Union achieved 2.63 inventions per year. The United States, however, achieved 3.17 new inventions per year. Fucking retard, do your goddamn maths.
Does that math take in account that one of them was literally fucking demolished not just by two world wars, but also by being invaded by every imperial army on Earth, while the other could comfortably sit on its ass and count the money it made on the backs of the rest of the world? No shit the wealth capital of Earth could afford to do more than a country that was a backwater agrarian shithole just decades prior, and yet those numbers are very close, despite the comparison itself being completely dishonest. What would happen if you were to compare the USSR to countries similar stages of development, I wonder?

Does your retarded ass think that Wikipedia editors seriously thought about international patents? I'd be more willing to believe that they just went through developments at the time completely separate from their legal patenting.
>Moreover that's American inventions over the entire history of the USA, which was around since the 18th century, so 2 centuries more with at least 1 extra century as an industrialized country.
Why do you think I adjusted the number for years? If anything, that doesn't help. The soviet union spent it's near whole history industrialized, and still pumped out less than the United States did while it had basically 2/3 years as a pre-industrial society. Fuck.
>This is not a dichotomy, the CIA funded liberal movements under a "sochulust" LARP and fascists to use as provocateurs to muddy the water, this does not mean that their internal reports of the USSR are untrustworthy when their reports are their source of information based on which they make tactical decisions, you absolute ignoramus. Imagine having such a lack of nuance on how subterfuge works.

>do it bitch
I don't need to, given that this was already done several times (pic 1 related) and the assessment was that the USSR, was superior to capitalist systems it was parallel to and closer to the level of the USA and West Europe, surpassing most of the latter except for West Germany and other main NATO states which were essentially held up by US funding. Meanwhile the USSR was rebuilding itself, and simultaneously rebuilding most of East Europe and bringing feudal China to the modern age.

>not hard to believe they just shit out these things to make you believe that muh socialism is the best solution
To what purpose? The Socialist system of the USSR has 0 resemblance to any of the inane faggotry of the American liberal left, not to mention that these documents are not common knowledge, and you have to either look them up or learn from word of mouth (or text) by people who did read and download the documents. You keep shifting goalposts away from the arguments with retarded whataboutisms that aren't even directly related to the topic at hand. You screech about Gorillions and address none of it, you screech about iphones and then ignore the entire thing for cherrypicking a portion and making a false equivalency.

First table shows the estimated economic value, that means firstly the food and then all the production of things outside of it.
Ignoring the fact there are no, according to the studies, "Rich" Socialist countries which can imply that there's an issue with scaling the economic prosperity, it seems pretty sus that the study states that all of these things that aren't really obvious such as child mortality and education are higher than in capitalist countries. It could be possible that they're lying about it. It could be possible the standards of education are generally lower, meaning more people can pass education. It could be that said education has different policies around it. It could be education is used as a political tool, making attendance compulsory to an extreme. Etc. etc. Blah blah blah, bunch of shit here and there that says that these things need to be backed up with more measurable from outside sources.
>The CIA's declassified documents aren't really their internal documents?
Why yes, that is what I believe is going on. Why would the CIA go out and reveal what they've been portraying as Enemy #1 is actually the best, especially with all this "LGBT+ Socialism" shit going around? It'd be a huge wasted opportunity.

Already talked about the various counterpoints on the integrity of the data made in other post.

Again why would the CIA be honest about anything?
>Your understanding of a conspiracy theory is braindead. Watergate remains a "conspiracy theory" despite being proven because that's what it was.
A conspiracy theory, particularly nowadays, isn't to mean anything that says "___ politician is being a meenie bobinie and did a no-no!" It's a theory that uses usually circumstantial evidence, sometimes hard evidence, to state something that hasn't been admitted to.
MKUltra being something that happened is a fact. Not a conspiracy theory.
MKUltra being a thing that's still happening through various means is a conspiracy theory.

>With bad math when I outright stated these are examples of what was created, not the NUMBER of creations you fucking speedreader.
Once again you're pretending the same limitations only apply to the Soviet list. Is the American list going to be a tad bit more thorough? Perhaps. But that's the only fair point. The limitations of them being examples and being abridged go both ways.
>The Agricultural and Industrial Revolutions began in the 1850s and onward, so no, 2/3 of the USA's history as a sovereign nation did not in fact include it being pre-industrial, especially given that it was already on the same level as Britain by the 1850s, a very well developed country.
>United States only started in the Industrial revolution!
What year was the United States founded in? Let's say fuck it, and say that after the Civil War, the US *truly* started. So according to your little "THE USA WASN'T PER-INDUSTRIAL IT WAS 100% INDUSTRY" and then adjusting that for the likely dates when that "Industrial US" started, there was almost 5 new concepts developed in the US per year.

Socialist education is one of the only things even its biggest enemies admit is top tier, I don't see why you would choose to nitpick this of all things lmfao. In my country over half the people were illiterate peasants, then when communism came they not only eradicated illiteracy, but they established such an advanced polytechnic education that it didn't even take a generation for a country of unga bunga farmers to turn into a country of engineers, builders and architects. Education is clearly not better under capitalism, and you are proof of that lel.

Idk man, it seems like those people were educated to be just good enough to carry on with their life in service to the state. The measured amounts of inventions in a time of technological innovation that we've discussed previously shows that there wasn't much development there.

I don't know if popularity is a desirable quality anymore, reddit is very popular but it also glows hard and many subs have ruling ideology enforcement.

Reddit use to be fun when it had more of the "hacktivist ethos" of people like Aaron Swartz, back when the internet was mostly free and corporate astro-turfing as well as state glowies were less able to wreck good communities.
