    I mean there is, but all of the major nations fall somewhere in the middle of the capitalism / socialism spectrum.

    China, a communist nation, has private businesses. The US, a capitalist nation, has public infrastructure and social safety nets.

    It’s a gradient, and very few nations are 100% on the edge of the spectrum.

    Lol half the comments are “idk what you’re talking about”. A good chunk are proving OP right, and the rest is America hate.

    Exactly like on Reddit. Literally isn’t any different here.

    “The pure (libertarian) socialists’ ideological anticipations remain untainted by existing practice. They do not explain how the manifold functions of a revolutionary society would be organized, how external attack and internal sabotage would be thwarted, how bureaucracy would be avoided, scarce resources allocated, policy differences settled, priorities set, and production and distribution conducted. Instead, they offer vague statements about how the workers themselves will directly own and control the means of production and will arrive at their own solutions through creative struggle. No surprise then that the pure socialists support every revolution except the ones that succeed.”

    I wish we could look at what the ussr did right and how it worked around its restrictions without rose tinted glasses. Some central planning of efficient railways and large industrial machinery might not be a bad idea. Lezz a fair doesn’t always produce great results. Walkable neighborhoods and commie blocks aren’t such a bad idea but fascist dictators are.

    I wonder, are people advocating for a system similar to the USSR or North Korea? Or actual communism?

    Well capitalism is about making a selfish choice. We have no significant capital, so maybe they cut us in or don’t be surprised when some don’t care for the system.

    Oh yes because those same westerners are talking about Soviet Union 2, not democracy in the workplace.
