Tell me you don't understand the first thing about what capitalism is or how it works without saying you don't know the first thing about capitalism or how it works... And yet you clutch to it like a turkey voting for Christmas..

Perhaps consider looking in to the works produced by the minds who dedicated their lives and careers to the subject, rather than your own, clearly uninformed one?

Yes because how many people has communism raised out of poverty? O right I forgot how russians are stealing washers and toilets from Ukrainians and NK is an amazing place in the summer...or how china doesn't have suicide nets or social credit scores...

The only people who want communism are the idiots from the west in their nice apartments, who have never lived under communism..lol

Russia is a capitalist state.

NK is an amazing place in the summer

The vast majority of north Korea was destroyed by the US. Maybe if the US hadn't done that, things would be better for them.

how china doesn't have suicide nets or social credit scores

Completely irrelevant to how many people communism has lifted out of poverty. The west also has issues with suicide and we also have credit scores.

If you're actually interested, read this

According to the World Bank, more than 850 million Chinese people have been lifted out of extreme poverty; China's poverty rate fell from 88 percent in 1981 to 0.7 percent in 2015
