    Pretty much all communist regimes have been dictatorships. What’s your point?

        I didn’t know reality was western propaganda, those pesky Americans!

          The fact is that you were so brainwashed by the Red Scare that you don’t realize that the reality you were told is all lies.

          The truth is somewhere inbetween… not “reality” like you claim it is.

            I’m not sure what in-between there is for “a lot of communist and socialist countries are just as if not more authoritarian than their capitalist counterparts”

            The point being made is that the criticism being made doesn’t apply to capitalism in any way that it wouldn’t also apply to other economic systems.

            Nope, the truth is in the left and not the center 😎

      Pretty much all command economies**

      There are ways to organize a system of labor that have not been explored or are in the infancy of being considered in the world. Many countries are engaging with more and more socialist ideals every day and they are doing so under current forms of democracy. The world is not binary, everything is a sliding scale with tradeoffs

      Because capitalism and communism are the only 2 options…

        Any government that claims to be something in between really just wants you to think it’s something in between.

          Which is what the extremist propagenda taught you to think. Good for them.

          You think existing government can’t manipulate you into thinking we are in a democracy?

        It doesn’t matter what option you choose as long as humans are involved in any form.

      So is this the whataboutism I’ve been hearing so much about? Meme didn’t even mention communism.

        You’ll never get anything accomplished then once everyone needs to agree.

          That’s unanimous consensus, not democracy.

              Yes. I mean it as in the Wikipedia definition, not chaos.
