      Communism allows everyone to pretend to have free stuff by declaring those that actually make it less than human, and thus less than citizens.

      Your crops are picked by exploited immigrants, the coltan in your electronics mined by African child slaves, and the electronics themselves assembled on 14-hour shifts by sweatshop workers under capitalism. And you still have to pay for them.

      What you’re describing are colonialism and slavery, both of which are time-honored, bedrock capitalist institutions.

      I love when people describe a system better than capitalism when trying to make communism look bad.
