As foretold by the great prophet Marx, the fall of Capitalism will bring about an age of upheaval which will usher in the magnificent age of communism.

No matter how it falls it will always lead to Communism, so it must be better... No matter what.

Capitalism is worse than socialism, but reality is better than capitalism, and communism better than your question. I hope this clears things up.

I've never lived under a socialist/communist society, so I'm going to say that Capitalism is pretty fucking awful.

Like, I'm not as exploited under it as, say, a worker in a country actively being exploited by neocolonialism; and I still think it's pretty shit how most of my limited time on this earth will be wasted working some fucking job that I hate because I was never taught basic survival skills because my parents were too busy wasting most of their time working because some chucklefuck though that commidifying human needs was a good idea (which, to be fair, is a damned good grift). Pro-capitalists would tell me that I can buy nicer things because someone in another land mass is being exploited or that I just need to work harder and I'm like, "I'm in credit card debt because I've been unemployed and the bills don't stop coming, fucking blow me."

I dislike many communists because they're typically, unbearably humanistic and rarely critical of work ethic (which is fucking weird); but I've never met a pro-capitalist that I didn't want to bludgeon with a heavy stone.

They're both terrible (industrial, workaholic, humanist society), but only one of them is purely idea based; the other is a painful reality with actual consequences.

IMO it's not even close to a debate: it's Capitalism.

How could non-parasitism be worse than parasitism? How could having control of yourself and your own labor and tools be worse than someone else having control of you and your shit?
