Capitalist countries have more free food available than communist countries do.
"The good of the people" is a noble enough goal. Unfortunately, the people in charge of these movements are people who deliberately seek power, and for the most part, those people are vain greedy, brutal, a-holes.
For the most part? That's an empirical claim. Any evidence? My gut disagrees with you, but my gut also has no evidence.
It's not an empirical claim if you have literal examples of how badly "communism" (self-serving oligarchy) has failed.
I'll start with the collapse of the Soviet Union in the 1990s. And I hope I don't even need to point out what Mao did to China.
People = problem
Communist logix
we need to abolish private property so everybody has equal power.
we class of people to maintain public ownership
After all, how can we enforce public ownership without a more powerful class of enforcers?
Having been the one who brought it up, (and since I got here first) I guess I will super duper reluctantly be the enforcer. I super don't want to y'all guys! But this is for the good of the collective!
Ok but socdem. And before you try to make a counter argument with [insert nordic country that is actually capitalist] just think about how they always call the ussr and china communist while they arent.
