    Early millennial. I have a friend from high school who hates communism. If you describe all the problems he will agree with you. Rich people, big business corrupt politicians all the way up to the point of saying capitalism is the problem. Suddenly its poor people and immigrants, like how somehow the very small number of rich assholes exploiting everyone isnt the problem but other people who are being exploited worse are. I have tried so hard to get through, but he just can’t bridge that gap.

      if poor people are a problem and rich people are a problem, maybe a robin hood type situation would help

      Capitalism is the problem, but communism isn’t the answer. As we’ve seen from some very comprehensive examples.

      Need to do like the successful Europeans and use socialism to beat capitalism into submission.
