“Rights” under capitalism are temporary protections that only function as long as you’re allowed in the in group, don’t forget that it took until 2015 for the bare minimum of gay marriage to be legal federally and that was through the supreme court

My problem with communism personally is that it creates no incentive. With Capitalism, we need doctors and they are very important, so they get paid more, than say a fast food worker. However, if everyone gets paid the same, there’s no point in going to school longer or working for more demanding jobs. In theory, if everyone worked hard regardless communism would work, but that’s not how society is. Although, both allow a great amount of corruption unfortunately.

Capitalism being useless and inherently corrupt doesn’t mean Communism is the right solution either.

Idk why either. I’m against capitalism, but that still doesn’t make communism a good system. It’s so easy for corruption to thrive in both

There is incentive in communism, it’s bettering your community and yourself by extension. Communism isn’t “when people get paid the same”.

It’s the redistribution of wealth isn’t it? I just don’t think it’s very fair if I work hard and become rich for the government to just take that away.

The government isn’t trying to take all of your stuff, you can’t get to the level of rich that you’d be an actual target by working
