This poster seems to indicate that piracy and/or communism are bad things. They are not. Capitalism is a bad thing (unless you are at the top 10% of the wealthiest people on earth). A bit of an imbalance that is not good. When I say 'poster' I mean the image (like posters they used to sell at K-Mart), not the person who posted.

Isn't like average US income enough to put you in the top 10% on earth?

Only good communism is good. Because of the most common "communism" in reality is a dictatorship regime masked under this ideology.

No one system is perfect. Humans can't be pinned down and are often at odds with their own beliefs. The best we can shoot for is "Communish" and "Socialish" and just try our best to look out for one another and the planet.

Nevermind. I just mocked a little bit people who believe that they can create a system that will be good for everyone.

Don't mock them. Thank them for at least trying. Peace.

Well, then they should at least try new names and definitions since many people associate communism with something bad. Similar to socialism. It simply provokes controversial thoughts because of bad examples in history. Also, I said that only true communism can be good, but this implies a perfect system, which, sadly, is impossible in our reality since nothing can be perfect.

I am not against them trying to achieve peace, it just looks a little bit pointless to me assuming the human nature.
