Honestly communism is an idealogy on the extreme side, not many people realize that

Communism sucks and the only reason it's worse than capitalism is because not only is the execution stupid but the idea as well

literally every example of "communism" to date has been state capitalism. There has not once been a communist or socialist country in history, except maybe the Parisian commune and if that.

You can't say communism is worse than capitalism when all your reference points for "communism" is capitalism

You know why these states become capitalist? Communism is not a successful and welcoming ideology on the world stage. Communism in a nutshell is basically "If everyone's poor, no one is..."

You wanna know why that actually is? It's because capitalism is so f**king ingrained in society that we are physically unable, as a group, to veer completely away from it. Communism is ACTUALLY where the government controls everything, and so nobody is "poor" in the sense that they aren't able to get things they need. Communism need not be Stalinism.

A government that "controls everything" sounds like a dictatorship, doesn't it?

That's because it is. It literally f**king is. Rampant with corruption and all. But its economic principles are still the same as if it weren't a massively corrupt pothole: The people are allotted their share of things. no more (with exceptions due to corruption), and maybe a tiny bit less.

I suppose Russia, China, Cuba, Laos, North Korea, Vietnam, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Estonia, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Latvia, Lithuania, Moldova, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Ukraine, Uzbekistan, Afghanistan, Cambodia, Mongolia, Yemen, Czech Republic, Germany (East), Hungary, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Rep. of Macedonia, Montenegro, Serbia, and Slovenia, Angola, Benin, Dem Rep. of Congo, Ethiopia, Somalia, Eritrea and Mozambique weren't "real" communism.

You are exactly right. Every one of these you named is/was either Stalinist, state capitalism, or North Korea, which isn't actually communist because it follows its own ideology which is like fascism but with labor camps

I mean, both are pretty stupid and very flawed nonetheless

honestly socialism is better than both though. True socialism has no preference for authoritarianism (unlike communism and capitalism) and can be super libertarian as well.

Now, whether it can work in the real world is yet to be truly answered, but socialism is, at least on paper, the ideal way of running a government

Socialism is basically the perfect ideology. Or, as close as an ideology can be to perfect

Capitalism is basically just "if you work hard, you can be successful" but in practice all the rich guys get more rich and if you're lower middle class or below, you will basically never get there

Communism is the idea that the government supplies stuff, which already doesn't sound like it would be very good for the economy, but it's even worse when greedy people show up

Fascism is- well, do i even need to explain why it sucks?

Socialism combines all the good stuff from Communism and Capitalism, while (For the most part) leaving out the bad stuff.
