How i feel on Lemmy - programming.dev

There were no actual efforts to establish communism in eastern europe. Only autocratic regimes backed by soviet russia.
And here comes the guy who think he can do it better, this time without mass killings.
Can’t critizise something that has never been tried! Also we already got a comment critizising capitalism as a counter argument :D

Hey, I can think what happened in Eastern Europe was just authoritarian dictatorships, backed by Muscovite colonialism & branded as communism just the same as what happened in parts of South America was just authoritarian dictatorship, backed by American imperialism & branded as laissez-faire capitalism.

Also I can think communism has never actually been tried, and that it’s functionally impossible (therefore people should stop advocating for it).

With capitalism we just outsource the death to 3rd world countries.
This time without hierarchy wherever possible. And we’ll keep most of the capitalistic economy as is, just redistribute the wealth so that everybody is safe and happy. Cut the bullshit jobs, make produced goods more durable and sustainable, so that the last at least ten times as long, cut more jobs in producing, distribute the remaining work to all the people, everybody who wants to get a little extra can do this by working, most will. I certainly would still work even if i did not have to, even if there is no monetary benefit. Doing a job that is nice and that you like is fun, because you’re doing your part.
Implying capitalism does not regularly do mass killings.
I’ve read Marx’s communist manifesto, I didn’t read anything about mass killing
