For the most part? That's an empirical claim. Any evidence? My gut disagrees with you, but my gut also has no evidence.

It's not an empirical claim if you have literal examples of how badly "communism" (self-serving oligarchy) has failed.

I'll start with the collapse of the Soviet Union in the 1990s. And I hope I don't even need to point out what Mao did to China.

Can you make any analysis? Vaguely gesturing doesn't mean anything.

Stop simping for billionaires. It's embarrassing to watch.

I'm a Communist, of course I don't simp for billionaires.
