    It’s not really about that … I mean, we don’t live under communism, we live under the deadlier of the two systems.

      Well, then we get to the definitions of communism, because neither Soviet Union nor China under CCP have been marxist communists. “True communist state” would be owned by people, not people subjugated to become possessions of a dictator too. Capitalism fucking sucks, but I will rather take the social democratic system I live under now, than a dictator throwing innocent people into camps. (And that applies to the USA too, with their dollar-store government doing their best nazi impression right now.)

      Now, if only we could stop being such meek sheep, we could perhaps figure out a system that is not based on exploitation. But that would be not like Capitalist societies, nor anything like Soviet Union or China under CCP.

        Sounds like you got to that, because you wanted to rant about it out of nowhere. I don’t really get why you’re doing it me. But whatever.

          I got to it, because you compared horrible systems, and claimed one to be communist, while it is not. Soviet Union and China under CCP have been, just slightly differently spiced versions of the same exploitation, that is behind capitalism too.
