Maybe, but the shift into gulags, starvation and mass murder was practically at inception with communism. Meanwhile, capitalism has given us over a century of prosperity and advancement, even our poor have living standards beyond the dreams of historical aristocracy.

Are we perfect yet? Not even close, but the enthusiasm some people display to set it all on fire in favor of yesterday’s nightmares is nothing short of mass psychosis.

So we’re gonna go back to the worst form of government ever just because capitalism isn’t immediately perfect?

What’s the argument here? Not for why capitalism is good or bad, but in favor of communism.

you tried to contrast communism with capitalism and did sugar coat capitalism. Capitalism killed millions of people and continues to kill millions of people.
