My sources are every single time communism has been attempted by a country lol.

Can you provide an example where it has worked and hasn’t resulted in extreme wealth inequality and a rich ruling class and slave-level working class?

Not good enough. You haven't even wondered why.

It’s “not good enough” for someone that wants to pretend communism works, while being unable to give a single example of a country where it has worked lol.

My evidence of communism ending in extreme wealth inequality and a ruling class is every single time any country has attempted communism. There are zero communist countries that don’t have extreme wealth inequality and a wealthy ruling class. That’s my evidence. You haven’t, and seemingly can’t, provide any contrary evidence.

Again - which communist countries don’t have extreme wealth inequality and a ruling class?

It's not good enough to get me interested discussing it further with you. You just keep repeating the same dumb, boring question. You think it's a gotcha, but you haven't thought about it even slightly.

I keep repeating it because you keep avoiding answering it, because you don’t like the answer.

[–] Olhonestjim@lemmy.world 0 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

I don't care. You can have that last word you so desperately crave.

Still waiting on that answer. I hope it’s coming soon.
