Comment on If someone tells you that communism has led to famines in the USSR and China, that it doesn't have any incentives and that anyone who supports it use products of capitalism, how do you counter this?

How do you persuade them that you’re right or how do you come up with an argument that makes you feel like your chosen ideology does not have any flaws?

The first: you probably can’t. They are just as set in their world view like anyone else arguing on the Internet, including you and me.

Second: accept that all ideologies have flaws. Policies however well meaning have to survive contact with reality first and foremost.
