    You’re not wrong about any of that… but any communist nation has its own problems. History has pretty much shown there is no perfect form of governance, especially when you have hundreds of millions of people living there. And why would so many people from those communist states immigrate en masse to the US over the years? Surely there’s a reason for that - lots of freedoms are afforded here that aren’t given under communist rule.

    Misinformation can be just as bad in a communist nation when news is controlled by the state. Russia and China have both notably had issues with that over the years. Journalists “fall out of windows” all the time in Russia. I’m gonna reference them mostly because they’re some of the only nations with similar population size to the US.

    Birth rates are dropping in places like China too due to economic struggles. Yes, they’ve gone green with electric power and all that - but they’re still one of the worst polluters in the world. And child labor runs rampant in communist countries.

    If the US govt. had rewritten the constitution here at some point instead of interpreting language that no longer applies to modern nations - we would be a lot better off.

    Most of the problems we’re facing aren’t solely due to capitalism… imagine if Trump and co. took power in a communist state. It would be the same, if not worse due to the structure of govt. Less guardrails there and it would be way easier to shut down any opposition from the population.
