You do understand we can make loads of those about communism as well?
Capitalism has caused untold horrors.
Have you seen what horrors communism has caused, though? Ever tried looking at history? Maybe read up on the great Chinese famine? Maybe read up on how communism started in Russia? You know, maybe watch the movie "the Chekist", great movie for those under the illusion that communism is a great thing. If your stomach can survive that movie, then yeah, you're a diehard who is perfect for the next regime
You do realise none of the examples you brought up are actual communism. Theyre all bad attempts that were taken advantage of.
Thats like saying religion in general is bad because christianity ruined it
Religion is bad in general and Christianity is an example of why it is.
Buddhism is pretty alright though, isn't it?
Ask the Rohingya
Hmmmm. And Shintoism?
Edit: I'm being cheeky. Looks like religion turns itself into tribalism when a certain population point is reached.
It’s neither good or bad.
