What if i’m being repressed instead?
I would give this reddit gold
Instant easy complaints help-i’m-oppressed-by-Capitalism today sound an awful lot like the instant easy complaints help-i’m-oppressed-by-Communism I used to hear from rednecks
Ask someone who starved & dies under either system how obviously superior it is

Also consider that Socialism is totally legal under Capitalism. Want to start a co-op? Go for it. Want to legislate and implement socialized healthcare? Many Capitalist countries have.
Under Communism, Capitalism must be illegal and stamped out by force. Want to start a business making shoes and hire someone to work for an agreed upon wage? Illegal.
When the goal involves guaranteeing positive rights, I’m not sure how it can be achieved without coercion.

ofc a lot depends on the precise definitions of terms, state corporatism is not synonymous with generally free markets operating under the regulation of a basically diverse inclusive democracy.
