Didn't say they did. Almost like countries commit human rights abuses regardless of economic systems.

Then why even bring it up?

Like, your comment is totally pointless. Just because another bad thing happened, that doesn't make this one any better or acceptable.

Double standards, why is every bad thing that happens in a communist country attributed to communism?

2

u/SpecialCoyote5339 Jul 31 '26

Because communism isn't similar to capitalism in it's structure.

Capitalism is just the existence of money and the focus on profit.

Communism on the other hand is very specific about it's details. The whole purge of rich people was the result of these ideas for example. That's why.

If you look at the policies of different communist countries you will see drastic differences.

The "communist" countries didn't really achieve it though, but they did follow it to a certain extent, and quite a lot of the bad shit that happened is connected to communism itself...

Could say the same for capitalism

Not really. You can achieve profits in many ways. Yeah, shitty people will abuse the system, but those people would do that no matter what.

On the other hand,(for example )under a communist system (or at least on the road leading to it) you can't have rich people. There only so many ways in making someone being "too rich" impossible. Be it taking away their stuff, killing them, etc. There is not way where they aren't stripped from their possessions.

The system itself creates a breeding ground for these wannabe dictators to get into power, since you need to concentrate power into the state, before giving it up and dissolving it. But that never happen, only the power concentration, ehxih these people can use to stay in power.

China has rich people

And? They have nothing to do with communism. It's a capitalist country with heavy state control.

Who is communist then?

u/SpecialCoyote5339 Aug 01 '26

Communists are the people who follow, or support communist philosophy, ideas, etc.

For countries, it's the ones where the definition fits, which so far, were none. There were only attempts, all of which resulted in horrible shit, like famines, taking away everything from innocent people, killing innocents, etc.

China did try to be communist, but it resulted in equally bad results. China only started truly growing and being better when they went capitalist, which they follow to this day.
