It's too bad those are the only two sides to the binary of political ideology!

You haven't ever studied logic, I see. Look up "false dichotomy" to start with.

You haven't looked up what "capitalism" or "communism" is nor considered the possibility of other alternative economic systems, I see...

I grew up in ESSR or as it was known locally ENSV. Replying to any criticism of capitalism with an immediate “so you want communism” without even a stopover in complaining about socialism is quite something.
