    You realize there are currently concentration camps in the US eating Americans’ tax dollars right?

    The problems that the soviet union had weren’t exclusive to communism, they were exclusive to corruption.

    While either system can become corrupted by bad actors, ideologically, capitalism rewards selfishness, and individualism, while communism encourages sharing and community.

    At its base, capitalism is literally impossible without exploitation of the surplus value workers create. Capitalism cannot exist without profit, and profit cannot exist without stealing money from workers.

      Stop taking everyone for an American.

      Also: you just had to shoehorn in a whatabout the USA in there hadn’t you. Got no other arguments? 😁

        Then don’t read that part, it doesn’t change the rest of what I said.

        Whereas your entire comment was a whatabout the soviet union?

        Just had to argue against a strawman, eh? Weird ass thought process when I was just meeting you at your own level, bruv.
