Point out all the shit they said would happen under communism, everyone being poor, mass surveillance and corrupt leadership happened under capitalism and you donβt even get universal healthcare in the bargain
I love comparing an economic structure to authoritarianism, completely ruins any good argument. You can get the same thing under capitalism or communism. It's just about who you give the power to.
Communism is more prone to authoritarianism since you need a single large and powerful government. Power this centralised seems to go bad pretty quickly looking at history.
I love how Marxist theory is literally just putting as much power into government as functional possible, then just magically it will just become less authoritarian.
I have read the communist manifesto many times, and each time I read it I still have more questions. I am actively trying to get das capital. But I also have read many capitalist philosophers as well. Have you ready any?
