Capitalism has brought more people out of poverty than any system in the world. It is flawed but by no means is communism the answer.

Tell that to all the homeless people starving in Bangor! I’m sure they’d love for you to go tell them how capitalism will lift them out of poverty as me and my party teach them how to grow food and urban forage as well as buying land to grow food for them

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

Do you think you can own a home under communism?

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