OOP describes themselves as “pro-corporation”, thinks modern Russia is communist, and seems to spend an awful lot of time immersed in 4chan. Either they’re trolling or they’re about as bright as a cloudy night sky, and I don’t much care which it is
That would be funny if it wasn’t so sad. I’m pretty sure even Soviet Union wasn’t communist, despite their attempts to pretend otherwise
Ad hominem arguments never work very well. Just admit you don’t have all the answers to this totally relevant question and move on.
Are they under the impression that capitalism (or any economic philosophy) has some sort of authoritative answer to the wild possibility of an alien encounter?
They are pretty much asking if socialists will allow people to do capitalism on aliens if they are weaker than us.
“If we stop exploiting humans, can we still exploit other undiscovered intelligent species?”
The Posadists answer this question by asserting that any advanced alien civilisation will have developed Full Communism, in which case the Space Comrades can teach it to humanity.
“Yes Patrick, the Aliens also get human rights.”
Socialism doesn’t support grabbing other people’s means of production, it’s about how we manage our own.
