Reply to comment by Kiddie_Kleen in What do people on this sub think about the Maine Communist Party by [deleted]
I never said capitalism was perfect and would lift everyone out of poverty. I said capitalism has lifted more people out of poverty than any system in the world. That is a true statement
Communism has worked 0% of the times it was implemented. Any wealth or success they had was usually a result of another system before communism, then communism sucked it dry and destroyed it.
No system is perfect but to date capitalism (with some social programs) is our best option.

Do you see people from the u.s. crafting rafts and risking their lives to join such an amazing system?
Look at what people are escaping, and where they are escaping to. You are witnessing the will of the average citizen of those systems, not some watered down elevator pitch about why communism is so great.

There is no private property in communism. Do you not know this?
Kiddie_Kleen t1_iqs7xxw wrote
Yeah as in you can’t own a business or anything that you can use to exploit other people, it has no bearing on personal property which would be things such as belongings

I don't think you have an understanding of wealth creation or personal property.

Go watch Dr. Zhivago, a great movie, and also a little insight into early communism.
