    That’s not true at all. You’re talking about a specific style of Capitalism that became rampant in the US, and has accelerated the greed, the class warfare, and the expense of future generations. Capitalism as an economic principal works pretty great in places that braces for the greed and corruption, and have guardrails to stop it from taking hold. There are also better social programs in those places.

    Communism failed because of its own obtuse idealism which is sophomoric and stupid. If humans were inherently good and worked well together, we would even need economies, DUH.

      I always enjoy when someone who has evidently never read anything about what actual socialists think stream-of-consciousness debunks socialism as if these sorts of ideas aren’t literally some of the first things Marx and Engles write about.

        I have no idea what you’re thinking, nor do I care. You want to talk about the principle nature of things, here I am. Do not care for your slant on it. Your opinion isn’t special.

        Edit: keep downvoting my past unrelated comments lol. Just like a Socialist 😂

          Yeah if you cared it would seem like you’ve read a book at some point, which you don’t.

          I’m not sure if you understand the down votes are from appearing willfully ignorant.

            The downvoted are from the same accounts over and over again. Guy and his lil buddies are trying to make it seem like their positions are well thought of, and they are not.
