    libel of communism

    As a leftist, I mean, they’re not wrong. At least historically.

    That doesn’t mean socialist policies aren’t better, it doesn’t mean communism is literally impossible, it just means that our species has a lot of work ahead still. Planting trees we will never sit in the shade of and all that.

      Not in Chile. Either way, I can’t interpret OP’s graph, since communism doesn’t have wealth to begin with.

      And that idiom needs to die. We are not surviving a sahara, tree exist right now. We just need to guillotine the plutos at the top.

      As a leftist you should understand that it’s insincere to compare implementations of communism to the core inextricable functions of capitalism. Bad implementations of communism have wealth disparity, all implementations of capitalism have wealth disparity.
