  • Im not sure what you mean by socialist countries. But communists countries are more oppresive:

    • They have leaders that stay in power for decades. Opposition is often punished.
    • There is nor freedom of speech, speaking against the government gets you in jail or worse.
    • In some of those countries, people are not allowed to leave the country.

    And for the record, I agree that poverty is extremely oppressive as well and we need more socialist reforms in capitalist countries, tax harder the rich, break monopolies, foster more unions and so on, I just dont agree that communism is the magical land you all think it is and the solution to all the problems. Nobody seems to want immigrate to North Korea for a reason.














  • you are wrong: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communism

    Communism (from Latin communis, ‘common, universal’)[1][2] is a left-wing to far-left sociopolitical, philosophical, and economic ideology within the socialist movement,[1] whose goal is the creation of a communist society, a socioeconomic order centered around common ownership of the means of production, distribution, and exchange that allocates products to everyone in the society based on need.[3][4][5] A communist society would entail the absence of private property and social classes,[1] and ultimately money[6] and the state (or nation state).
