You can decry Western Capitalism without lauding dictatorship with a communist twist. Some people latch onto whatever they can to gain power to exploit people.

You can decry Western Capitalism without lauding dictatorship with a communist twist. Some people latch onto whatever they can to gain power to exploit people. Using failed dictatorships to prove 'communism is worse than capitalism' (which in the West we heavily curtail, but only to the point where we avoid uprisings against those holding power) is exactly the sort of shallow, illogical thinking you seem to rail against. Communism fails because it doesn't account for human greed; it assumes everyone is onboard with improving society. Capitalism succeeds inasmuch as it panders to human greed to the point of evil and ignores the vast majority whom it fails. Mind you, anarcho-syndicalism is where it's at, you can expect to wield supreme executive power just because some water tart gives you a sword ... /montypython
