How is this more bad than capitalism we already have?
How is authority more bad than authority? It’s not, it’s all authority.
Capitalism is one problem with authoritarian systems, it is not the only problem.
The problem with communism is greed. And people are used to greed. They've lived with greed. Grown up with greed. They'll use greed to be more greedy. So you need a couple generations of people growing up with communism to accomplish communism, and how do you get to that point? It's a hard situation. It's difficult.
You can leave the country if you don't like capitalism. You won't get shot in back for it. Your family won't be executed.
You can say fuck Biden, or fuck trump, and you won't get sent to gulag for it (yet).
There's levels of bad and communist dictatorships are quite the pinnacle.
I’m sure you can say fuck Biden or fuck Trump in communism too?
I love that joke!
Capitalism has more iPhone burgers.
