    Out of curiosity, how do you think governments in large capitalist economies (such as the US) properly account for greed for power and keep it in check? Do you think they are doing a good job on that front?

      Poorly, but not worse than a dictatorship(such as the USSR).

      What’s your point?

        You might want to turn that incredibly critical eye you’ve got for communism back in on capitalism, that’s all.

          I… am?

          What is this, I am against dictatorial abominations, so that means I am in favor of capitalist abuse? I am literally saying that opposition to capitalism is shooting itself in the foot by tolerating the existence of authoritarian “communists”.

          Unless you’re an actual tankie, your words towards me make no sense.

            Misunderstanding on my end then, I made some clearly unfair assumptions. I agree with you there and apologize for the mischaracterization.

              It’s funny how one can always pick the leftist out of a crowd by looking for the person willing to respect strangers
