By flawed I mean that there is a hierarchy where power consolidates at the top between a small number of humans. The reason why I call this a flaw is based on three premises:

1. My statement above about hierarchy of power consolidation
2. Power corrupts
3. Humans are inherently self serving. We protect ourselves and our own

As for China; take Hong Kong and or Tiananmen Square. Or something more straight forward; their conflict with Taiwan. They are pushing a narrative that Taiwan belongs to them, even though Taiwan clearly does not belong to them, which then reduces the statement to propaganda and an attempt to reframe what is true

To be clear, I favor communism as an idea. It’s just the implementations of the idea historically have been flawed. I don’t know anything about communistic subgroups. Take China for example; changing historic events by pushing an alternative “truth” is not focusing on facts. A list of books is a good indicator, but the contents of the books are also relevant

Yeah. Historic communism has the same problem as capitalism. People in unchecked power at the top. Doesn’t matter what ideology we follow if we refuse to fix root problems.

It’s also a problem that people love to gather around either worshipping or hating a certain individual, party or political direction. I wish people would focus more on the politics beneath, facts, statistics and causality

Doesn’t auto insert though, but puts it in the clipboard. Paste as many times as you need. If you figure out how to get it to insert into the focused application, do let me know 😁

The right to use adblockers? This is my device. I bought it. I have ownership. I decide what and who gets to run code on it. Write what you want in lawyerspeak in contracts designed to prevent me from reading and/or understanding it. You can’t redefine ownership
