      Nope, grew up in Soviet occupied eastern europe. Fuck that, I’ll take flawed capitalism over whatever torture and misery was that thanks. You are free to disagree more politely tho.

        Ah yes, the classic “I was born in Poland in 1989, I think I know a little bit more about communism than you, buddy!” style of reactionary westerner.

          Whatever makes you feel better about your flavor of brain wash my friend. At the end of the day I’d rather have flawed democracy and capitalism than whatever else is on the table. At least there’s a path forward here.

            Capitalism and democracy are mutually incompatible, and the only path under capitalism is “forwards” into ever increasing inequality and poverty.
