Fuck Communism and fuck unchecked capitalism. People deserve basic human rights. Free heallthcare, education, insurance and liveable basic income is a must. It doesn't make your society full of freeloaders instead it gives all the people a chance to become what they want in the society.
I hope that people can see this basic difference and we can work towards for a better future as humanity instead of whatever country title.
The very concept of a free loader best represents the ruling class of capitalists interests. The ruling class does not contribute in any way to society, and instead steal billions of dollars of labor value from the working class and use it in ways that benefit only themselves. Allowing people to survive even without providing a capital benefit to the ruling class wouldn't enable free loading, it would mean society actually does what its supposed to and looks out for the wellbeing of all people.
You shouldn't have to work to exist. You shouldn't have to be useful to anyone else to be a part of a community. Food and shelter are human rights. Water is a human right. Healthcare and education are human rights.
Toppling capitalism and wage slavery is the only way to a just world. Socialism doesn't inherently belong to the soviet union. And the soviet union did not categorically fail at every single thing they did. Don't mistake my words for endorsement of stalinism or of any of the many horrible things they did. But there were other aspects of their society and governance that were actually pretty great. Its not all black and all white. Life isn't that simple in reality. A flat condemnation of communism is rooted in propaganda more than it is in reality.
And I'm an anarchist, before you accuse me of being a tankie. I do not advocate state communism. But to say "fuck communism" and be done with it just shows your bias towards socialism.
You have the right not to be denied food or shelter.. Are you saying everyone should receive free food and shelter? How will that work? I understand small scale communes can mostly work under that idea, but a country with millions of people? Scarcity is the basis of economic theory for a reason.
Why is that food thrown away? You do realise that food can get thrown away for being bad? That at least takes up 10 percentage points, then there's the question on how its measured. Who is throwing this food away? If its your average Joe then I doubt their throwing it away just to make artificial scarcity. How nutritional is the food that gets thrown away?
millions of people experience food insecurity.
The US has hundreds of millions of people those people experiencing food insecurity barely make up anything. Also would that food that gets thrown away even feed everyone?
those people experiencing food insecurity barely make up anything
Then it should be easy to feed them with just a fraction of the food that's thrown away?? How you could possibly say that and think it helps your point is beyond me.
I said that because the person I was replying to was making it seem like millions of people was everyone and their mother, the truth is if they wanted artificial scarcity they would do it to more people

Currently, as much as 40% of food is thrown away in the US, while millions of people experience food insecurity. The scarcity is fully intentional.

Ah got it, millions of people suffering is not a lot, so it must not be a real issue. You're the worst kind of person.

those poor people dont matter
If you read what I said, you would know I never said that
i apologize i did summarize
