It's almost like you need an economic system to become a billionaire, control the labor of thousands of other people, and buy off other systems of accountability with your ill gained wealth. Weird, anyway, the form of society and how money/resources are allocated doesn't matter at all, but somehow communism is still bad for some reason, even if it means more equality and lack of oligarchs.
Nah, I don't think so... you just have an ideological difference than the person who replied.
You blame individuals for the ills of society. You call them "monsters". Barring fringe cases, these monsters are made by their experiences and environments. You can worry about individuals and play a game of whack-a-mole until the end of time, but if there's still fertile ground for "monsters" to be made then it's a fools errand.
Hope that clarifies the ideological difference here.
Look, I get that you're incensed about a perceived misunderstanding here but I'm not seeing how a point is being missed.
If you are in agreement and people are taking something wrong then explain.
Have a nice day regardless
