    You do not know what capitalism is, nor do you know what communism is.

    Would you like to learn? I can teach you. Once you understand, you won’t make such misinformed comments any longer.

      You do not know what my definition of capitalism is, nor do you know what my definition of communism is.

      Sure, and I am fine with that.

        Capitalism is an economic system where some can profit off of the labor of others. ‘Some’ are known as the bourgeois, and ‘others’ are the proletariat. This system is definitionally unequal.

        Communism is a stateless, classless, moneyless society. It doesn’t employ a dictator. The people themselves manage society in whatever structure is best.

        Taxes, social services, and other benefits are no substitute for abolishing the exploitation at its source by moving past capitalism into socialism. Socialism is a transitory society characterized by workers owning the means of production and centralized government planning. Its eventual goal is communism even if it never achieves it.

        I hope this helps.
