      The ones that psychology has to deal with all the time because they are a generalized problem of any society … Unfortunately for communism, it’s much more sensible to them, which is why most attempts at it usually degrade.

        Structurally, why is Communism harmed more? None of what you just said actually explained anything.

          It’s not harmed more, it affects it more. This is due to its collective communal nature which makes it have more points of failure when poor mental health degrades the necessary trust and enforcement for such a system.

          There’s only so much handholding I am willing to do for someone who is clearly biased, so if you want to continue this discussion, I’m going to have to ask you to give me an example of a modern day communist state so that I can provide you with examples within that state of what I’m saying.

            What are these points of failure? Is your argument that some people shouldn’t be able to vote, or is your argument that Capitalists are definitionally better people than Workers, and therefore should have all of the control?

            As for your second paragraph, Communist State is an oxymoron, and furthermore wouldn’t make a difference when discussing actual structures. If I pretended that Pinochet’s Chile, Batista’s Cuba, and Hitler’s Germany were the only ways to do Capitalism, then I would be making an equally disingenuous point.

            I’m asking for actual points to be made, so far I’ve only seen you argue based on vibes, rather than structural facts.

              Right, so no example, end of discussion. Although preemptively damning talking about any example because it could be flawed, that’s a new one.
