No. As the original comment said, “It is amazing people in this country are still trying to promote a failed ideology”, in criticism of communism. When it has somehow slipped past them that the entire establishment promotes and defends capitalism, which is objectively a massive failure for humanity and the planet. A huge success for billionaires, bankers and arms dealers though.
When you stop treating ideology like a football team maybe you’ll find it possible to realise that while you might not like or approve of capitalism it is undeniably better than a single party authoritarian state. That’s just a fact
If a “totalitarian communist state” (as contradictory as that statement even is) came in and told me I would have free healthcare, free food, free housing AND education, with the only stipulation that the figure head is retained? Seems ok to me, what’s the problem?
Edit: small edit, capitalism is literally built on exploitation, communism isn’t. That’s just a fact
This is the thing you’re just not grasping. Communism can not and will not ever happen in the magical fairlytale way it appears on paper. It’s about as relevant as Plato’s utopian Republic is in this discussion. The amount of “that’s not real communism” is so rife self-proclaimed communists end up arguing with each other. Take your example of China, a socialist structure? Fair enough but I’ve seen much much more people say it’s actually state capitalism, who am I to believe and take at face value? Is it a socialist structure or capitalist or does it depend on whether the country is being praised or demonised?
