Nah it's not that it's libertarianism failing it's just that idiots version of it failing

What they'll say when it fails or next time someone else tries to implement their ideals

then immediately turn around and mock communists for saying something similar.

What % of countries failed via communist policies vs countries that failed via libertarian policies? The top countries are liberal capitalist democracies. Anyone still simping for communism in 2023 is 9/10 times a brainlet child loser who lives in the west, never having suffered in a communist shithole, and decided to hang all their failures in life on being a victim of their country's cApiTaListiC liBerAlisM. EDIT: tankie coping clowns (lemmy is full of them) downvote yet have nothing of substance to say zzzzzz

Somehow personal failings never happened in communism? I am from a formerly communist nation. Capitalism has been a disaster.

Communism is bad for the people who want money. Capitalism is bad for everyone except the person who wants to hoard money.

If your country failed/is failing, it's hard to hang it on capitalism when, again, all top countries are liberal capitalists. It's more likely due to corruption/mismanagement than capitalism. And no matter how much it's failing, it's not failing at a soviet famine or great leap forward level is it?

this is just a cringe and childishly reductive statement that means nothing.

Is liberal capitalism how you describe centuries of colonial rule in Asia, Africa and the subsequent wealth drains?

Are you sure you're not misattributing their success to capitalism and ignoring the centuries of colonial wealth that flowed to the EU nations? Whenever I mention this in a EU space or those with westerners I get heavily downvoted. It looks like Europe doesn't want anyone to remember their Dark Ages through colonial periods.

Europeans just don't want that closet of skeletons to be opened.

Are you sure you’re not misattributing their success to capitalism and ignoring the centuries of colonial wealth that flowed to the EU nations?

Are you sure you're not ignoring all of the countries that are dominating out there that didn't participate in colonial shenanigans and were even victims of them? Are Norway, Switzerland, Sweden, Finland, New Zealand, Ireland, South Korea, Taiwan, etc... ex-colonialist powers currently benefiting from the past profits of exploiting others? Tankies like to pretend the West only prospers exclusively from colonialism yet conveniently forget that the communist shitholes they simp for participated in just as much or even worse colonialism than the West (see: Soviet Union). The truth is liberal capitalist democracies are just better. Yes, we should implement many socialist policies, and many of these countries do. But to pretend that communism is a better path is just braindead ignorant childish thinking.
