      Capitalism in decay turns into authoritarianism, as the state becomes part of the market system.

      Authoritarianism is bad, by fascists, capitalists, and states pretending to be socialist/communist.

      Edit: if this place doesn’t like extremism, why am I being downvoted for saying extremism is a bad thing and we need to avoid it? Did I call out a method of it that you agree with, like .ml and .world?

        Pretending is an interesting term. You think there’s states pretending to be communist? Which ones?

          China, the Soviet Union, Cuba. North Korea used to, until its Juche reform in like 2019 (?) completely gave up on it.

          Communism requires no state. A state claiming ot be communist is an oxymoron.

              A bunch of weirdos who think they know better by defending countries that don’t care about them, that aren’t socialist, and are just as power hungry as western nations, they just go about it a different way.

              They support the same things just with a new coat of paint.
