Communism is a ridiculous pipe dream that true believer think would work if only every single person involved with really really tried (despite the fact the vast majority of people don't want to, and do better in life if they don't).

Basically "I could fly if id just try harder to flap my arms"

Also you're doing that dumb thing where you conflate "communism" with 20th century marxist-leninist (and offshoot) regimes as if that one singular authoritarian current of revolutionary socialist thought is representative of all radical left wing practice.

Which is how every communist nation turns out. So if communism ALWAYS turns out that way... I guess it doesn't work.

Communism is a demonic amalgamation of all things evil in your confused mind because you know nothing about it other than the capitalist propaganda that has been fed to you since birth

Hey look, another true believer saying "Nah uh, it works, its just that no one does it right and it always goes bad"

Also, im going to go out on a limb as assume you're not from a country that was/is communist, because those people want to get rid of it as quickly as possible (Well, except for the leaders for life that live like kings and kill rivals)

The only reason China is no longer third world is because of the communist revolution that happened there and made it be not be a colony of the West anymore.
Same for for Russia which went from being a backwater tzardom of dirt peasants to the first country in space within less than 40 years, rescuing the rest of the world from nazi genocide along the way.

(Edit: and we can thank the same capitalist country which elected Trump for putting Vladimir Putin in power there and reducing it back to a hellhole.)

No, the war would have been vastly longer without Russia but the Nazis would have lost.

And why are you ignoring the 30 million people that died in the revolution and then under Stalins regime? Oh thats right, because you're one of those pieces of poo poo that ignores massive amount of death as long as it helps your argument.

I like how you completely ignore the 30 million death toll. You know, how I said believers always do in the text you quote.
