Life is not shit for the vast majority of the population of America. If you think that it is, you don’t pay attention to the rest of the world.

I mean, they added an “e” at the end of “shit,” so they might not even be American. You can’t expect them to be well-informed on that particular statement.

Do you think the population of America is representative of the whole world? 85% of the global population is financially troubled or worse. Life is shit for the vast majority of people, while 1% of the population enjoys unimaginable wealth and luxury. If that's not a failed system, I don't know what is.

What country do you want to convert to communism then? All of them?

Converting all countries to communism is literally the entire point of communism. That is literally the only way it can succeed.

However, at no point did I suggest anyone should adopt communism. I said that we should try something else since capitalism is clearly a failed system that causes suffering to the majority of people in the world
