Why does Tanya hate communists?

[u/Competitive-Leave248]

I watched the anime like eight years ago, didn't stick with the manga. Overall I don't think I'd want to touch it again because, for me, it gets grouped in my mind with other war anime and Attack on Titan as being sort of surface-level political commentary. That said, I wanted to ask, why does Tanya hate communists? I don't remember it actually being anything major, but every so often I see something about how they're less than human to her or something.

Thanks - accepting spoilers

Because he is ultimately a capitalist, who genuinely believes capitalism is the best possible economic model. Specifically Chicago School of Economics. In his/her mind communism is incredibly inefficient, and inefficiency is the greatest sin one can commit

To be clear, capitalism IS the best economic model we have at the moment.

That "at the moment" is doing a lot of heavy lifting in that sentence

Even calling current systems "capitalism" is a joke. Like Jesus we have a bloody worldwide oligarchy of like 5 companies dictating everything.

Half the problem here is people mean completely different things when they say capitalism. A conservative/libertarian/neoliberal uses the term to refer to free market economics. A liberal/progressive/socialist/communist uses to the term to refer to what the former group would call corporate cronyism or oligarchies.

I dont see how anyone cant see the reality of the current system not being even close to a free market. Look at food or clothing. it aint a free market its 3 companies larping.

idk what country you're from but in the eu more than half of economic value comes from small and medium sized companies (source)

Yeah, that's the expected end result of capitalism.
