    I said capitalism is at least better than communism. Everything else is words written for me.

    To be precise, you demanded an example of a ‘pure’ system that the original commenter made no pretensions of supporting, and when called out, you objected that you weren’t the one claiming that such a system existed, implying that the other commenter was (which is demonstrably untrue).

        My original point is: Communism isn’t automatically good just because capitalism isn’t.

        I absolutely did not get that meaning from your comment at the top of this thread, which was:

        No, but It beats communism any day of the week.

            Ok, but that seems like a non sequitur. I don’t understand how your metaphor is supposed to help translate “[capitalism] beats communism any day of the week” into “communism isn’t automatically good because capitalism isn’t”. Those are two completely different statements.

            I think it would help me if you connected the dots more when you write things.
