What, pray tell, is a better argument? There are many, but I want to hear some from you.
He probably thinks they won't threaten us with violence once they get socialism.
Maybe, but I want to hear what has to say... and they are still yet to respond.
As good as it feels to just unleash your power level (and I am very guilty of that), you can learn a lot more about someone by asking them questions and just listening.
They are constantly threatening ''us'' with violence. It's been centuries. There's always a socialist law on the book.
The deontological approach: You can appeal to someone's desire for enterprise free from interference (beign able to build a home without someone smashing the shit out of it, etc)
The utilitarian approach: You can argue how private property is more conducive to someone's values, this can include the competitiveness of the in-group through property's effected prosperity, and eugenics.
I can go into further detail where you want. Prosperity is divided into incentives aligned with natural motivations and thus icnreases output, explaining how pursuit of profit has more positive than negative externalities, explaining how the network of prices through supplies and demands is more conducive to prosperous decisions than is central planning (which I assume those who attacked me don't know bc they're too dumb: shots fired).
The first part increases output through effort, the second through efficiency of where the effort is applied.
You can also bash the alternatives.
edit: The meme in the op won't convince anyone who disagrees with you lol. Well maybe the normies who hate violence. or the libertines. meh maybe this is more of a projection of mine. Atleast it wont convince the critical thinkers because the logic is weak. If I was debating a commie on logic, I wouldn't use the meme in the OP.
That is all well and clear, but you're forgetting that it's a meme, not an argumentative essay.
Vast amounts of literature and debate has been had regarding economic systems, and still people can't understand. If you think you can explain how price controls and central planning = bad in a simple graphic that takes less than 5 seconds to read and digest, then please be my guest.
I've debated many a commie, and the other only thing that really works is to give them enough rope to hang themselves. They'll shut down or dismiss anything you say otherwise, and don't listen to logical arguments. You just have to let them talk and ask a few questions; making it seem that your intent is honest. They trip up - because it's communism and it doesn't make sense or work - and get confused.
youtube: What if there were no prices: the railroad experiment.
It's pretty good. still won't save idea recipients and idea non creators: NPCs
