    If any bad thing that happens under a nominally communist system is the fault of communism, then any bad thing that happens in a nominally capitalist system must be the fault of capitalism, right? Capitalism has an awful lot of slavery, genocide, apartheid, coloialism, wars of choice, and other evils to answer for, then.

      Yes. Concentration of power is bad no matter the economic system.

      It would be a whole lot easier for me to take you seriously if you actually lived what you preach.

        What a convenient way for you to deflect any opinion you disagree with, “you criticize society yet you participate in it”

        This is not a valid argument ecause everything surrounding us is designed and facilitated by capitalism, and certainly all our electronics, there’s no such thing as computers independent from capitalism. There weren’t even in the soviet union. So it’s not possible for this anon to actually live what they preach unless they went full anarcho-primitivism.

        Not that it would matter anyway, because you’re allowed to criticize a system that you participate in.
