    That’s a rather poor attempt at unironically moralising someone’s lack of morals. I or anyone else could simply declare anything to be “the game” and justify any action through that. Can you not see?

    Communism has never actually existed. What we’ve had is fascism with red trim and American propaganda, used to justify their empire and imperial wars.

    Capitalism is working exactly as intended. It’s the asset rich, self entitled, slaver/coloniser and workshy attitude of the European aristocracy, expressed in economic form. There’s a reason they dont teach the actual origin of capitalism in school (because to teach it is to critique capitalism and critiquing capitalism is illegal in our western schools) and have to tell a fairytale instead. The idea that a truly free and fair market could ever exist is more utopian than anything you’ll ever hear from any socialist.

      Learn what fascism actually is. It’s not just a synonym for “thing I don’t like”

        Fascism is a far-right, authoritarian political ideology emphasizing extreme nationalism, a strong central state, militarism, and the subordination of individual rights to the nation’s perceived unity and strength, often led by a dictator. It emerged in early 20th-century Europe.

        Sorry that you can’t make communism and fascism interchangeable.
