Communism is terrible
So is capitalism
You need some sort of middle ground
Why is communism terrible, and why would a "middle ground" be better? What would that look like?
Socialism is a mode of production where public ownership is the principle aspect of the economy and the working classes in control of the state, and communism is a post-socialist, fully collectivized mode of production and distribution. Socialism has existed in the USSR, PRC, Cuba, etc. while communism has not yet been reached.
