    Almost like we could take the best ideas, discard the worst, improve on the “meh” from both systems and try something new.

      That’d be good, but that would also require folks to openly discuss the flaws within communist nations, and try to think up new solutions. Neither of those things seem to be happening.

      Edit: rather, no group seems to be doing the second thing. One side criticises, the other refutes. No admission of failures is reached, nor solutions sought.

        Nailed it. When we refuse to face our demons, guess who’s running the show? We confront the worst parts of ourselves and figure out how to address, rather than lean into, supress, repress, we make progress. When we lift ourselves, others are lifted.

      Sorry, but if I don’t like you, as a human I’m required to think everything you do is wrong, even if I’d otherwise agree with it.

      The issue is that both sides keep trying to sell same old ideology.

      Nobody is actually interested in discussing failure of both systems beyond trying to shill their ideology.
