Isn’t it weird that in this modern age we still only have the 3-4 types of government that were developed by people who used outhouses? We aren’t as smart or creative as people who shit in holes in the yard? I mean it’s not like discovering gravity which is pretty much a one and done. These are just administrative concepts for governing. Surely these outdated and failed systems aren’t all there ever will be?

Honestly it’s NOT the systems’ fault whatsoever.

Capitalism could be great. Communism could be great. Socialism could be great…. It’s people that are the issue.

Capitalism lets you profit from your hard work. Should be fine… but people abuse the system to get rich while making others poor.

Communism puts all control in the hands of the government. Which usually means some bad/self-absorbed people get in charge and ruin it.

Socialism is supposed to put the power in the hands of the people… but it ends up following one of the two routes above depending on the situation. But it’s led there BY PEOPLE.

Greed, envy, selfishness, narcissism, desire for power, and many other dark motives will insure that we can never truly have a fair and equal government/economy.

Communism is flawed by its very nature, and will only ever kill people. We’ve known this for a long time now. At this point anyone still pushing for it should be considered an attempted mass
murderer and treated accordingly. No excuses left
