I never made that assertion but okay yes, there have been capitalist countries that have collapsed… Also, can you name a communist country that hasn’t collapsed?
Except… None of those are communist countries. They’re all mixed economy countries with varying degrees of private and public corporate infrastructure. And China of all countries lmao. Theyre the most capitalist of that bunch. They only thing they kept from communism was the rampant authoratarianism. Its kind of increble that anyone would make such an absurd statement seriously.
Maybe you should actually learn what communism is before advocating for it.
It’s pretty hilarious that you’re telling me to learn what communism is while evidently having the most superficial understanding possible. All these countries are led by communist parties, and the working class is the class that’s in charge in these countries.
You are correct that these countries are in the socialist phase of development where many of the vestigial relations from capitalist society are still present. However, anybody who actually understands communist theory knows that this is a necessary stage. You can’t just take a capitalist society and turn it communist overnight. Especially not in a world that’s dominated by global capitalism.
Might want to read some Marx to educate yourself on the subject.
Yeah, it’s always the same handful of tropes that have been debunked to death. It’s honestly exhausting. If only these people spent even a fraction of time actually educating themselves on the subjects they attempt to debate.

Laos, China, Vietnam, and Cuba come to mind. It’s kind of incredible that anyone would ask such an absurd question seriously.

It really is like clicking through a dialog tree with these people isn’t it?
