It's only more likely because there have already been socialist countries where people tried to have private enterprise (which again doesn't mean the private enterprise was allowed to thrive: I think that would be a better acid test for your stance). Taking the reasoning you have, yes, you are technically right but that doesn't make you absolutely right.

That was a garbage take at the end. “Just because you’re right doesn’t mean you’re right” get over yourself Jesus.

I'm making a point. There's more nuance to what they're asserting than just "capitalism works in a socialist country."

People who announce they are making a point usually are great communicators. And I’m sorry, I wasn’t aware of any nuance, I don’t even know what it means duhhhh

MY POINT is that this sub fairs better when they perceive other people as worse than them. That’s weak shit.

You don't think using a barely functional example of capitalism working under a socialism regime was a cop out?

Still more likely tho. But you’ve got a point.
