    I understand your frustration but you are misguided and ignorant. Education is truly a blessing to not repeat same mistakes from the past.

    I am sure however that you are in extreme minority and pose zero danger to society. My sympathy remains. One has to believe in something. God, ufos or communism.

      In a world dominated by capitalist realism I find that an ironic stance.

      Socialism isn’t only implementable as an authoritarian state, but any attempt to implement it will be met with fierce resistance from “liberal” countries whose ruling class is not threatened by fascism but is threatened by socialism.

      You’re fighting for the oppressor.

        I am not fighting for anything. I am enjoying my life in a capitalist society. Thank you very much.

          Enjoy it while you can, capitalism is actively destroying our climate and causing never before seen levels of wealth inequality. Fascism is the inevitable next step and is rapidly approaching. It will not perpetuate much longer whether by self-destruction, or hopefully, by replacement so that we can continue to thrive as a species.

            That’s doomer speak from too much scrolling. I once too believed these things for a time but the world hasn’t ended, improved even. I am no longer as depressed and regained clarity of mind.
            I hope you too can find peace and see the reason before all the time dwindles out like a sand from between your fingers.

            I am typing it lying on my huge bed, with cat at my side, full fridge, iPhone, iPad, car with full tank in the garage, 100 sqm apartment I own in the comfy part of the city. Steady, mostly passive income. Free healthcare working ok, education.

            Why would I want communism? I would have to be not okay in the head

              Ignoring climate change and its root causes will surely make it go away.

              Your zen bullshit is costing future generations.

                You got some point with the climate, we should do more for sure. But seeing communism as some kind of holy grail solution is absurd.

                Problem is no one wants to resign from all the goodies and comforts. We could solve it overnight if only people truly were ready for sacrifices but everyone uses maximum excuses to not do anything.

                Some wait for communism to solve it. Very comfortable position. We all have our scapegoats.

                  A socialist economy where workers own the businesses means that the people making the decisions will be sensitive to their impact on the average person, rather than multi billionaires building bunkers to survive the collapse.

                  It means people will not vote to pollute their own water supply to make a buck.

                  It’s not a holy grail, but it’s a solution because it makes the economy democratic rather than dictatorial.

                    Let me tell you what happened here some time ago.
                    After the government seized the means of production to people they gave each worker a share in the company.
                    On that same day the workers sold it or lost it, bought vodka or cigarettes for the few pennies they made. Not much was left in the original hands. Someone bought the majority.

                    The ideal economic system works perfect under perfect conditions. Capitalism works ok under most of conditions.

                    Evolution of economic systems is not a history of choosing the perfect one but elimination of these that failed.
