    >individual rights, civil liberties, democracy, and free enterprise

    Where do these things exist? They don’t exist much in the USA for example.

    >Communism isn’t a magical fix for all our problems

    Its aim is to fix these problems, capitalism’s aim is to make money for a small group of people using liberalism to trick them into helping.

    >The only way they’ll happen is with a more unified country. Or war. A long and terrible one that will completely destroy us.

    The political class are united, they have the country’s workers fighting over niche issues like gay rights etc while they kill millions around the globe and do whatever it takes to maintain the privilege of a few.

    Agreed about Mc Connell.

      I’m sorry what? Freedom of speech? Civil rights act? Freedom of assembly? The right to bare arms? Etcetera?

      Its aim is to fix these problems,

      How? Through violent revolution with a benevolent authoritarian leader? Seize the means and then humans just stop being corruptible shitheads? Okay buddy

      capitalism’s aim is to make money for a small group of people

      Capitalism doesn’t have an aim. Like communism it will do what you direct it to do. If you’re going to try to revolutionize you might as well fix the system you already have instead of going to war.

      using liberalism to trick them into helping

      Yeah see this is that kool-aid bullshit you guys must have been smoking in the LateStageCapitalism ban chamber all those years. Liberals OPPOSE these same assholes they are not your enemy you dumb fuck
