MODERATORS
You have many friends that are either fictional or fucking morons
Everyone I talk to that comes from the USSR says the same as OP. It was horrible, and capitalism is way better.
So maybe you're the one who's a moron, or maybe (and this is the most likely thing) the truth is in the middle.
Group 1: we should go the left path around the volcano
Group 2: we should go the right path around the volcano
Centrists:
Are you american? It's a very typically american worldview, dividing things into two opinion camps. Good vs evil etc. Beleive it or not, capitalism and communism both are not purely evil through-and-through. I live in a country where our blue (right wing) govt is seen as socialist in the US. I would NOT say the current govt are particularly socialist though. I guess it could be called "somethi g in between", with tax funded healthcare+education, but still entrepreneurship that comes with the "capitalist" view of liberty/freedom to express your ideas even though the govt doesnt like it (famously illegal in communist states).
Take capitalism and put socialist-looking spray paint on it to fool the subjects into thinking its partly socialism. Works every time as long as you feed the subjects imperial slavery loot.
"Fool the subjects" ๐ have you ever heard about free elections, democracy? We have voted our way to progress. Which communist country have ever had a fair, truly free election? And what is even imperial slavery loot in this context?
