And here comes the guy who thinks he can do it better, this time without mass killings.

Hey, I can think what happened in Eastern Europe was just authoritarian dictatorships, backed by Muscovite colonialism & branded as communism just the same as what happened in parts of South America was just authoritarian dictatorship, backed by American imperialism & branded as laissez-faire capitalism.

Also I can think communism has never actually been tried, and that it’s functionally impossible (therefore people should stop advocating for it).

With capitalism we just outsource the death to 3rd world countries.

Can't critizise something that has never been tried! Also we already got a comment critizising capitalism as a counter argument :D

Implying capitalism does not regularly do mass killings.
