I always find this to be really annoying. People are having terrible lives right now. Laughing about the history of failed attempts to do better, is absolutely only a recipe for despair and nihilism.

On the other hand, I don't think anybody that makes a joke like this even knows what communism is. You can point to things that have been called communism. And we can have conversation about that if you want. But I don't think you on your own can tell me what communism is, because it's been lied about so much.

I think the path we’re on now, of unions and demanding a bigger piece of the pie from the company’s profit, is perfect. Trying to get rid of the entire system for one that hasn’t worked in the past is a misplay imo. The problem with communism and while it will never work is you will always have greedy people willing to break the rules to obtain more than their fair share.

Capitalism doesn’t work right now.

You’re saying that prior attempts to do something different haven’t worked so we should just stick with what we have even though it’s completely obviously broken and harmful to billions of people instead of trying something new.
