    The idea that you only get to choose between either predatory Capitalism or corrupt Communism as your society is pretty pathetic. Truly we have some of the minds of all time in this thread.

      Communism is not corrupt, it can be corrupted like any form of government, but it is not inherently corrupt.

        No, but PEOPLE are. Capitalism simply balances it via competitive forces. Comunism can’t balance it. REAL LIFE AIN’T NO MARX BOOK Ps capitalism SHOULD be truly checked and balanced by government 👍

        Communism inherently requires authoritarian goverment to survive and authoritarian goverments are always rife with corruption.
