Look, I'm no fan of capitalism. Socialist/communist dictatorships are still sort of worse tho..... Both have challenges, and bluntly, at least with democracy/capitalism, there's a chance we can recover from pretty much any horrible crap that goes down.

... For the most part, we won't, but there's at least a chance.

Communal/social services, which are technically socialist/Communist, are also not necessarily bad. Look at fire departments, as an example.

Why do you equate socialism and communism with dictatorships though?

Every system is bad and will ultimately fail for the vast majority. As long as humans partake in it.

I just returned from the Berlin Wall memorial and the GDR museum and all I can say to that is 'fuck that noise'. Communism always led to an authoritarian murderous regime with no regard for the needs of their people. Yes capitalism fucking sucks but living under communism sucks even harder.
