People keep denying it, trying to bury it, but it’s historical fact.

If any bad thing that happens under a nominally communist system is the fault of communism, then any bad thing that happens in a nominally capitalist system must be the fault of capitalism, right? Capitalism has an awful lot of slavery, genocide, apartheid, coloialism, wars of choice, and other evils to answer for, then.

Yes. Concentration of power is bad no matter the economic system.

Yes, all of the evils of capitalism are constantly commented on. This isn't the CNN comments section.

It is a historical fact that communist countries typically go through one last famine on their way to ending periodic famines in the country forever, and sometimes they're worse than normal due to the kinks being ironed out and social unrest.

How is that not a valid critique? I despise Apple as a company. As a result I refuse to purchase any of their products or use any of their services. To this day I have never purchased a single Apple product. I do this because I have conviction and standards.

1st world communists like to denigrate capitalism, yet live comfortable lives because of it. That shows zero conviction or standards.
