    Communism is exactly the opposite of that. You’re thinking of late stage capitalism.

        Yea I’ll share some down votes. I was laughing because the president was just threatening an American company yesterday, telling it how to operate. Telling it where to operate. Like isn’t this what they screeched legendary communist Obama would do? We just switched to a centralized planned economy over night. Welcome to USSR2

        Sounds like US capitalism in 2025… tax the poor (slave class) to give more money to the rich.

          Someone needs to learn not to blindly believe Wikipedia.

          Which communist countries/states is this not the case btw?

            Somebody needs to learn not to blindly believe a century of capitalist propaganda. At least Wikipedia cites sources.

            You made the claim. You said every single time. Citation required.

              Which communist countries aren’t like I said? I’m saying they all are. If you disagree, name one that isn’t.

              Which communist countries have an even distribution of wealth and no ruling class?

                Nope… you make the claim, you present the evidence to back your claim or you fuck right off back to Reddit.

                  My evidence is literally every time throughout history that any country has gone communist.

                  You just have to show me one time when it hasn’t happened.

                If you had ever done a modest amount of the hard, actual, honest work of examining positions other than the standard one issued by your government, you would already be asking better, more interesting questions. You think that’s the only one you need to ask, don’t you?

                I know you haven’t put the work in, because I have. I don’t owe you a debate. I doubt you have ever even changed your mind. So why should I give you the fruits of my labor? They wrote books, after all. Have you got the guts to read them?

                Every single time, you claimed. Cite your sources. Do the work or fuck off, lazy-ass.

                  My sources are every single time communism has been attempted by a country lol.

                  Can you provide an example where it has worked and hasn’t resulted in extreme wealth inequality and a rich ruling class and slave-level working class?
