    I think the point is more that there’s a ton of focus on the evils on non-capitalist systems, but no mention of capitalist evils

      My point is, the genocide that was the planned famine has nothing to do do with communism the economic system and was a result of a fascist dictator. Capitalism is fucking awful, and trying to erase Soviet atrocities to make it look worse in comparison is not only evil but completely unnecessary.

          Which former civilization reached that stage? I cannot think of a single one. And almost all of the countries that are around now that used to be communist are either no longer communist or communist in name only.

              And what anthropological studies are you basic this conclusion on?

              If it’s a stage of civilizational development, you should be able to find evidence.

                  So no studies and no evidence.

                  Also, you seem to think that the only two options for a civilization are capitalism or communism, which just shows a complete ignorance of history, and possibly economics.

              I remember learning this in school and it was around then that I realized it will never happen.
