Be as patronizing as you'd like, but your strain of thought has been proven wrong and inadequate by philosophers, not even just Marxist ones, for over a century at this point. Do some reading.

The idea that a system has been "debunked" is absurd. Things work out based on a myriad of factors and might work in other circumstances.

I deleted my comment because I was worried it would be as patronizing as yours.

Edit: still I appreciate the link and will try to read it.

I should've been less patronizing, sorry. If you appreciate the link and will read it then you're more open to this than 99% of people that tend to argue about all this so I'll respect you for that. Hope you enjoy the read 🫡

But to posit that you have to lay out how America differs from Russia, no?
