    This is just a question. Are there people here that really believe communism is better than capitalism? If so can you explain to me why and can you give me an example of A communist country that has prospered

    Well, that’s a grim way to look at it what with the oligarch chunk being immutable.

    A weirdly marxist grim way to look at it, though, I’ll give it that.

      Just because the core of his work is bad science, it doesn’t mean he didn’t get a lot of facts right.

      And also, countries have a unsettling tendency of moving a full step in development when its people get mad enough and kill all of the oligarchy. It’s not very clear to me if it’s the only way to do some steps forward, but it also has a good chance of making a worse oligarchy and moving a step backward.

      libel of communism

      As a leftist, I mean, they’re not wrong. At least historically.

      That doesn’t mean socialist policies aren’t better, it doesn’t mean communism is literally impossible, it just means that our species has a lot of work ahead still. Planting trees we will never sit in the shade of and all that.
