    The Soviet Union threatened my parents and grandparents lives. My country did try it, we decided against it. All the issues that capitalism has, communism still has. Add centralized power, and human exploitation is worse. Communism will not solve your problems.

      This is what people don’t seem to get. Human nature is when things are bad we band together, when things are good, we compete against each other. Capitalism leverages the latter while communism just tries to ignore that it exists.

      Capitalism certainly has its flaws, but it’s a far better starting point.

      Yeah, only privileged people from Western countries who never knew struggle dream about communism. No one who went through communism will ever support that shit.
