you named 5 communist countries. you clearly don't know how much was better in the uk before successive neoliberal governments privatised everything. now, the free market has decided it's efficent to just not have half the trains work, it's efficent to dump unfiltered sewage into rivers, it's efficent to only run buses where it’s profitable so rural areas are left out. and this has all cost us billions.
A country with a lack of safety and everyone’s basic needs not being met does NOT equate to capitalism. On the contrary, many places like Switzerland, Iceland, Finland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Singapore, Taiwan, Ireland, Hong Kong, Japan, Monaco, Andorra, South Korea, Portugal, New Zealand, and Australia all have the lowest homelessness rates, the highest qualities of life, and least amount of homelessness and starvation.
And since we are on the topic of living in a dangerous world where most people can barely feed themselves except two people with 500 yachts, let’s talk about countries like Venezuela, Cuba, Eritrea, Laos, and North Korea. Let’s ask those countries how they are doing right now under a socialist government with starvation, homelessness, oppression, and danger, except for a small group of people ruling the nations with lavish lifestyles that only those people under socialist nations can even DREAM OF. Talk about exploitation, and yet they’re calling the capitalists out for it. Maybe don’t falsely accuse us of encouraging exploitation by elites next time without even considering how horrible these people in the socialist (and communist nations) are being exploited by their own government. At least with capitalism, we have more freedom and higher living standards, and it worked out well for dozens of countries adopting capitalism across the world.
Join capitalism today, as we advocate for the facts against the facade of socialism and communism.
north korea also considers itself to be democratic
Because they have elections and people can vote in them (except there’s only one candidate)
which is cheating, i hope you’ll agree (right?)
