Capitalism sucks for the same reason Communism sucks. For the same reason Libertarianism would REALLY fucking suck.
Because people fucking suck.
People will always abuse the power they have to keep/accrue more of it.
Look at unions. Absolutely necessary for workers to unite and fight being taken advantage of by the companies who see them as nothing more than a number on a sheet. But then they can become the problem. (Look at the police unions for a perfect example.)
Religion. It was a great tool that helped raise civilization from small tribes. It created ethical mores that cemented the value of the individual. Then the ones that became powerful went on to become institutions of manipulation and control
There needs to be a balance and Communism is not it.
The original commenter is right. This is a stupid meme.
Police unions - what could possibly go wrong when the members of the arm of state power collectivise to exercise their collective power. The example you’ve selected speaks volumes about your sincerity and/or familiarity with the subject.
Similarly, unchecked power wielded by divine mandate that never had an interest in structural checks. We couldn’t possibly bake such checks into a more democratic, less hierarchical governmental and economic system.
You want to shit on the concept of democracy while you’re at it because of the current state of the US, champ?

What do you know about the political structures Communists propose? Communists advocate for recall elections, councils of worker units, and delegates selected from among workers.

Shocker, a good structure can be used for the wrong thing if it protects the soldiers of Capitalism against the rest of the workers.

What’s good about balance? How would you even achieve a balance, and why would it be better than Communism? All of your points have been vibes.

And Capitalism is? Aight.

They were specific examples.
Lol, you’re a fucking dumbass that will refuse to listen to any argument that might actually cast doubt on your fantasy.
It’s called cognitive dissonance and makes you no better than a trumplican.
What “specific example” did you give? Is “religion” a specific example? Lmao
