Same here. Reeks of "We'd get it right!" energy without understanding the inherent flaw of Communism is mankind. We ruin it all.

Lmao the inheret flaw of any system is mankind, you think capitilaism is flourishing rn? Putting that just on communism is intentionally demonizing it.

Centralized power is the real root of all evil, in any system of society - some are just more prone to it. a dictatorship is insanely centralized, Capitolism or communism under a dictatorship obviously will be too.

At least capitalism utilizes human greed to its advantage.

Damn you got some real confidence there. Not to scientific method you, but you got any reason at all for it? Like to try n base my opnions only on proven facts not just vibes, cause if anything humans are swayed by their emotions

This discussion is about communism. My experience here is communists with rose tinted glasses. I don't deny your point about capitalism, but that's not the subject of discussion. Guess a nerve was struck on your end.

Whatdya think those western teenagers are living under? Pretty obvious capitalism and communism discussions are closely tied, even if you choose to be oblivious.

Im saying the intentional appointing of issues to communism in a discussion about the two can be seen as a standpoint supporting specifically capitalism, especially when the issues affect both equally

Were all under them rose tinted glasses is really my point, why act like western teenagers aint in the same system, different place.

We can let some communist artfefacts for the ants and bees for when they grow older and take over the world.
