> Capitalism has still delivered with massive success in China, the US, India, Europe, etc etc.

Ah yes, the “massive success” where people can’t afford a place to live, struggle to cover basic necessities, are increasingly lonely, radicalised, unhappy, depressed… But hey, at least you can look at cat videos all day while enriching a small number of individuals who don’t even allow you the dignity of not having to piss in bottles as you’re making them more money they will ever be able to spend.

This was precisely my point. No matter how much mistreatment there is, we can always count on someone coming out to ask for more.

Nobody is struggling to find enough to eat in Europe or America; even the poor unemployed are overweight to the point of obesity. Tens of millions of people from all over the world are costly flocking to those countries for a better life; they wouldn't be doing that if their systems delivered better outcomes.

If you like communism so much why not move to somewhere like North Korea or Cuba, the most communist countries in the world?
