      People are starving every damn day under Capitalism and there is no famine going on. This isn’t the dunk you think it is.

        No it isn’t, but it does highlight the main issue:

        Communism would work if it weren’t for people trying to co-opt it for power

        Fully Automated Luxury Space Communism is the end goal (since, it being automated, means there should effectively be no way to hijack it), but we ain’t getting there for a long time. Let’s go for socialism first and work from there

          As long as there exists a way to gain power over others, someone will do it. That’s just the reality of our nature, unfortunately.

        I’ve been to Capitalist countries, I’ve been to Communist countries.

        Guess which system has their people immigrating to the other system on rafts with their children, just to try the other system. Guess which system builds walls to keep people IN, guess which system has beggars asking for milk for their children instead of money.

        Your comment isn’t the dunk you think it is when it brushes up against the harsh truth that is reality.

          Bruh I’ve seen families begging for food outside of grocery stores in the United States of America. Now what communist countries had beggers asking for milk?
