  Also common knowledge: Communism is worse. Talk about fast-tracking authoritarianism.

    lol almost everyone who says “communism is worse” has no common knowledge at all

    Most cannot even define what capitalism or communism even is, nevermind talking about socialism instead

    McCarthyism has done irreversible damage to “common knowledge” itself

      There's how you define things, and then there's how they work in practice. If you're just going for the tired "Communism hasn't been properly tried yet" then I will submit that it never will be.

      I'm all for regulated capitalism. That's what's done in some of the more "socialist" countries that exist today. But the idea that you can have a functioning system where the market sets none of the prices is laughable.
