It's easy to make a list of all communists countries that turned fascists and massacred people. You don't do that with capitalists because there are simply too many, everywhere, in about all of history.
It's almost like the main problem with both authoritarian communism and authoritarian capitalism might be the authoritarianism.
Just that most captialist counties are democracies and all communist countries are authoritarian because communism and it's limiting of rights doesn't go without a dictatorship and the murder of millions of innocent people 😇
You don't do that with capitalists because capitalism does not exist in authoritarian regimes.
This is a mixed economy, not a capitalist one.
Just as a true socialist country has never existed, a true capitalist country has never existed. Economies are always mixed.
If only we could imagine what a truly capitalist country would look like in the future! Like, I don't know, we call this genra something like cyberpunk?
Hahaha I win. I have created a work of fiction and where you are bad and I am good.
But that also exists for my side, yk, Orwellian. Brave New World too.
Ssshhhjttt, don't be reasonable, you're gonna make them cry
It would be 100% with capitalist as well.
As [email protected] less succinctly put it. Capitalism is barely a few hundred years old. It's barely existed a fraction of human history. It's barely older than many of the original socialist ideals. Let alone all of history. Markets and currency predate capitalism and socialism by millennia. And neither has claim to them. Despite both making use of them.
That said fuck leninists. Actual communists are pretty chill though. But leninists and capitalists are a threat to everyone. Including themselves.
Just as a true socialist country has never existed, a true capitalist country has never existed. Economies are always mixed.
Just stopping by to say fuck tankies. Ok bye.
