Notice how the folks arguing in favor of Communism have sources and receipts, while the folks arguing against it have done nothing but regurgitated Capitalist propaganda. Also note folks who are opposed to Communism and Marx's philosophy are always forced to admit that it only works on paper, because his logic is irrefutable if you address it with a modicum of intellectual honesty...

You link stuff, but ignore the actual accounts of human beings who fucking lived it.

Bruh, almost every old person I've heard talk about Communism that lived under it talks about it fondly. Lmao

I have a whole fucking family, who lived through the USSR. Not a single one of them misses it. Being spied on every step you take, my grandma has the "you never know who's watching" mentality to this day.

That's not to say they don't hate the current regime, but it's nothing compared to the absolute atrocities of the USSR's secret police.
