Using socialism as a boogeyman by definition, is a poor argument. There are merits to many different economic systems, many of which have pros and cons, capitalism and socialism included.
The laugh, and "listen" while providing absolutely no reasoning demonstrates a certain level of arrogance, while at the same time demonstrating a lack of knowledge on the subject
Yeah I could have given arguments in the same comment.
You had two chances here and you didn't. The platform you are on is brought to you by a communist.
That's fucking terrible. It's like if I was using a product made by people that killed a lot of people in my country.
Communism is a totalitarian system and so It's a violation of human rights.
That is a statement, not an argument. I could state that capitalism's final form is always kleptocracy. But that still isn't an argument either, it is a statement. I am not backing up my reasoning. Just like you did not backup your's. Also if we want to talk about human rights, Capitalism hasn't really been a bastion for that either. Just look at Nestle, or the countless US backed coups in South America. Was that for human rights? Or outnof fear that socialism was spreading?
