You should go into your alt history time machine and realize how shitty it is living under communism. Why do you think every country bordering Russia hates them so much?
Yeah, same. It’s sad that people who don’t really know what it was like are romanticizing communism as the “solution to everything” and repeating what is essentially populist nonsense.
Especially people who never lived in a communist state
That’s a rather impossible requirement, considering that all “communist states” to date have been oligarchic autocracies that were just as much about communism as they were democratic.
Real communism is market ownership by the people, and not some elite cabal of politicians or capitalists. And a top-down planned economy is pretty much anti-communism, as it violates the very fundamentals of communism as being worker-driven.
I don’t spend a lot of time promoting communism, but I do talk a lot of shit about capitalism - I’ve lived in it. Of course when I criticise capitalism people accuse me of promoting communism and having never lived in it.
Considering how America is moving towards that same state, with it’s Republicans?
No, I don’t think it’s a coincidence. Oligarchic autocracies can occur under any circumstances where a power-hungry elite manage to wrest control by using the masses as “useful idiots”. The Conservative leadership, in general, have learned this trick very well.

Sure I’ll just go in my alt-history time travel machine and be born in a communist state. Sorry for suggesting we improve things somewhat?

Must really suck to have guaranteed housing and income lol
If you think that’s how it worked, then I have news for you.
That is where I’m from, and yes we all hate russia and their stupidity

Or just go to north korea or cuba and see how they live
You don’t even need to travel in time to feel the communist spirit, just go to any post-soviet country and see the reality for yoursef.
You mean the capitalist ex-Soviet states? Lmao.

oh im not defending by any means the unregulated system of the USA, my point was against communism, not in favor of something else in particular.
