    I’ve lived all my life under capitalism and I hate it.

    I’ve read Marx, (for real, grab the book and read it!) and I see the dude does have a point.

      I’ve read it.

      Orwell was socialist my dude.

      Ever read one of his other books Down and Out in Paris and London?

      It helps explain why he is a socialist.

      I thought the same many years ago, until I saw how it went for every single country that implemented communism and then I didnt like it so much. You all seriously think is a coincidence?

        You gotta look the context and learn about geopolitics. If Communism is so bad why the USA need to keep interfering with Cuba?

        Lets compare Cuba with other Caribbean islands, how they perform against those? Remember they are blocked by the strongest country in the world.

        Cuba developed its own covid vaccine, cuba sends doctors to africa in order to help people there, when Italia was in a health crisis Cuba sent thousands of doctors.

        Cuba has the most advanced and inclusive family laws in the world.

        Edit: btw Awesome album and Lemmy was an Anarchist.

          First than anything, great taste in music my dude. Ok, fair point, these countries have it hard because of economic sanctions, but that doesn’t explain why they all devolve into a tyrannical, corrupt and repressive systems where people are forced to stay and a great majority seems to want to leave. People just don’t have free will and freedom of speech in these places. Is not a coincidence, its by design, communism is intentionally “the dictatorship of the working class”.

          And don’t get me wrong, I dislike very much the unregulated capitalistic system of the USA too, yet a lot of people in the world seem to want to live there instead of any communist country. If I those were my only options, I would hate it, but I would choose the same.
