Because at then end ,power over the people is given to the state. When you give the state the means of production and that state falls under the sway of humans with power, you get corruption and death.

Once a place has enough people, anonymity happens. We stop knowing our neighbors and leaders. We don't see the corruption they can now hide. Communism gives an easier way to leverage that corruption and power more easily

Socialism, more specifically forms of democratic socialism ( and with today's tech it can be one vite one person), is far more scalable and stable

We need a new constitution with more power given to the people and LESS to the state

Sad to say, but humans are the root of evil. Atrocities have been done in the name of all sorts of things, but it's always humans carrying it out.

"X is good, Y is bad." It rarely is that simple.

I'd say 1 person owning most of the money made at the company is the problem

To solve it everyone just needs to form or join a private unionized cooperative that doesn't go on stock market for sustainable growth and so everyone at the company is making a lot of money too

Then collectively you all grow the pot that is available for all of you. Better to all be making 1,000,000 each and then grow it together to become 10,000,000-100,000,000+ for each of you

That is the root issue. Not enough of that

Yeah, there's nothing worse than a bunch of billionaire shitheads, using the media they control to keep the lower classes fighting with each other while they . . . the rich . . . run off with all the farking money. Oh wait, that's what's going on Russia, too.

There are no "good guys" here. Just billionaire assholes exploiting everybody.

Capitalism breeds fascism. As long as we have capitalism we will fight fascism. Communism is not the answer though nor is any extreme ideology. Social direct democracy or even sociocracy would be better systems.
