Its a copypasta that has been around for years to use when some bootlicking Muppet goes “yeah but capitalism is da best and solves all our problems” We get it, you’re white and think you’re middle class and everything works out for you. Congrats. Your privilege is built on the bodies of poor brown people
Paragraph spacing is helpful. That aside I could provide a list of communist ills just as long. What’s your point? My point is clear - communism doesn’t provide the utopia you are looking for.

You actually know nothing about me, my social status and so on and nor did I make the claim that capitalism solves all problems.
Honestly slinging insults and being rude reflects on you very poorly.

Oh no!

That wasn’t the claim OP made.

The comment was directed at you. Do you believe communism is a viable alternative system? If not great we agree.
rainynight65@feddit.de 7 months ago
Could you point out where in this thread I even mentioned communism, never mind stated that I believed it was viable?

You answer my question first then I’ll answer yours.

Why does communism have to create utopia to be a competitor to capitalism, which demonstrably creates dystopia?
wscholermann@aussie.zone 7 months ago
Because it just creates another form of dystopia.
What works best I think out of all the systems we have currently is something like “cuddly capitalism” i.e. Scandinavia. That’s not perfect either but even so.

So, basically capitalism can be reformed (as long as you ignore its issues) but communism cannot be (because you said so).
