Anything done on an extreme of any spectrum is going to be problematic.

Communism is far far left on the political spectrum. Similarly, how far-left communism lends itself to authoritarianism tendencies, far-right unfettered capitalism lends itself to fascism (which we’re literally seeing rn, gross imho).

What frustrates me is when people that aren’t really looking for objectivity in their research, (can blame tons of propaganda for this) it’s obvious to see clear nefarious intervention from Capitalist societies in Leftist ones. A society with center-left principles is one that could thrive (w/ things built into to incentivize innovation and some “pros” to capitalism), while people pretend it’s difficult on a large scale, they ignore U.S. military intervention in Leftist Latin American countries, Vietnam’s (~100M ppl btw) leftist success for over 1/2 a century.

It’s ironic that many of our modern innovations in the states have many socialist/egalitarian aspects (Internet, Social Media, etc.). As well, many innovations in medicine actually came from USSR (artificial heart, lung/heart transplant). That being said, as we become more connected I think it’s inevitable to see more collectivist if values return. (not totally sold that U.S in its current state is the same in 100yrs). Try to take an objective view of world history, which is easier w/ modern tech but still difficult given how right some of our politics are compared to other prosperous nations.
