Stalin killed at least twice that many people, so it's a loss that I'm willing to take

[–] [email protected] 20 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I am become Stalin, destroyer of worlds

Oh god

It's the spoon

Nooo

[–] [email protected] 35 points 2 years ago

No, also fuck off

[–] [email protected] 32 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Absolutely not, why would you even ask such a ridiculous question

Take your two day old account and fuck all the way off

[–] [email protected] 26 points 2 years ago

I don't think there's that many fascists...

[–] [email protected] 25 points 2 years ago

This is just posadism but the button is magic instead of the nuke button.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Can I kill one person 8 billion times instead?

Dreaming of Kissinger being thrown down a mine shaft and respawning at the top for eternity.

If there's any contemporary figure who has earned not just hell, but Super Greek Hell, it's that one.

Yes. I would push the button. Communism is when you kill lots of people.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 2 years ago

It doesn't have to be 8 billion at once right? We can keep deleting 8 billion fascists for centuries with that button, after which we will have communism

[–] [email protected] 19 points 2 years ago

Effective Altruism, amirite? First, you must merely comit the greatest act of evil possible... after which, utopia awaits for infinite future hypothetical people!

[–] [email protected] 18 points 2 years ago

I'd press it if it killed melon-musk 8 billion times back to back.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 2 years ago
[–] [email protected] 17 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Not a goddamn chance. Killing that many people all at once essentially wipes out humanity.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

70 million people would still be alive.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yes, but not for the communism

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 years ago

But for the lulz

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 years ago (1 children)

they already did it in the 1600s when capitalism was invented

Carl Marks killed like 100 trillion people with only his piss and that still wasn't enough to bring about communism so I don't know why your plan would work

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 years ago

Only if you promise I'll be one of the 8 billion.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 years ago

Fuck it, why not 9 billion? smuglord

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Make it anarchism and I’ll push it twice.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

If it was a button press I don't think there would be any sort of the saving the state for transition so in this scenario, I'd assume it would just be some sort of tiny pockets of anarchist societies for whoever remains.

You would kill billions of people just to make the rest conform to your ideals? Congratulations, you've graduated from communist school and will receive your diploma in the mail shortly.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Notice how the majority of replies are just "no" or something that obviously shows that the question is not taken seriously?

(Yes I get that you may be doing a bit, but I'm kinda bored)

[–] [email protected] 18 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Piss off with your bs, everyone's saying no or treating the question like the joke that it is (unless this is sarcasm, in that case sorry)

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 years ago

good bit, you gottem all cranked up

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 years ago

Ofc not, why the fuck would anyone do that

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Communism is guaranteed to happen anyway.

Nah, we'll win this struggle the hard and right way lenin-shining

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I would not press the button.
