Communism succeeded. It was an evil system invented by evil people, and it did exactly what it was intended to do every time it was implemented. Communism = mass oppression, and it works.

Communism was supposed to be some sort of laborer uprising that will result in utopia. Imagine that.

Yeah. It really looks good on paper. But you cannot change human nature and thus the utopia is always corrupted.

Because it spurred countless innovations that make our modern life possible?

I agree, I'd much rather spend my time starving to death in a bread line and being forced to thank the government for it than working to earn my money and enjoying the privilege of being able to say YEAH MAN FUCK THE SYSTEM

You have to define several of those terms particularly "human nature" and "factored in naturally"... they are not self-evidently explained. As far as human nature goes, it would appear to me there is not one single human nature, and that human beings can exist anywhere from ethical to diabolical. So it is then hard to say that the free market accounts for every single type of human being without coming off as a crazy utopian.

If people have a need, and people can fill that need, then you have free market capitalism, so long as these people voluntarily agree to do business with each other.

'Human nature' has literally nothing to do with it, thus it's 'factored in'.

Well that makes zero sense. How is it factored in if it has nothing to do with capitalism? That's like saying bananas have nothing to do with banana bread, yet they are baked in. It is a nonsense statement.

You think that laborers overthrowing the people responsible for creating wealth and moving the economy forward is going to result in a utopia. Really.

I never said I was a communist either. I'm saying utopia doesn't exist by playing opposites either. And honestly, though the rhetoric is different, there's not much effective difference between an organization like the House Freedom Caucus and Shining Path Maoists.
