Capitalism combined with markets with inelastic demand is a lot of fun. But communism bad because tankies or whatever.

Bad because the centralized planning committee is little better than ONE BOARDROOM TO RULE THEM ALL and if you disagree with them they send their secret police to yank a black bag over your head and disappear you in the night. Then you, everyone you associated with, and everyone within three generations related to you spend the rest of your short, brutal, agonizing existences starving and/or freezing to death at a slavery camp in the wilderness.

That sounds more like Authoritarianism...

I think that's because communism has only really been implemented/taken over by authoritarians, and wasn't really communism.

Any possibly good people that gain power and pursue communism are couped or destroyed

Unchecked greed is bad for society, capitalist or communist.

People are the problem. If we could only get rid of the people. /sarcasm

I'm surprised to see such a well rounded, logical view here. Kinda feels rare on this platform these days.
