You realize that what you’re saying is basically “communism isn’t bad, all communist countries that failed just were communism that was being taken advantage of by assholes”
The exact same thing can be said about capitalism
Done well, with laws limiting it correctly, capitalism mixed with socialism sounds nice. Limit how much capital a single person can own and control using taxes, use those taxes for a social system where all the basics have been taken care of. Free healthcare, education, baosc housing, basic food.
Yes of course I realize it and Im often saying exactly that. The problem is when capital equals political power, which results in a downward spiral where as large a portion of the population as possible is kept at the bare minimum of survival for the benefit of the few.
You do realise none of the examples you brought up are actual communism. Theyre all bad attempts that were taken advantage of.
Thats like saying religion in general is bad because christianity ruined it
