It’s not an empirical claim if you have literal examples of how badly “communism” (self-serving oligarchy) has failed.
I’ll start with the collapse of the Soviet Union in the 1990s. And I hope I don’t even need to point out what Mao did to China.

“The good of the people” is a noble enough goal. Unfortunately, the people in charge of these movements are people who deliberately seek power, and for the most part, those people are vain greedy, brutal, a-holes.
Well. More porn for the rest of us.
Also, the light at the end of the tunnel is an oncoming train.
Communism A system of government where the country’s wealth is concentrated into a small, ruling class of billionaires, who use the news media they own to keep the lower classes fighting with each other while they . . . the rich . . . run off with all the farking money.

There’s a bridge called the “11foot8” bridge that has its own YouTube channel and trucks crash into it all the time.
Before the 90s. I think the best time for cable TV was between 1982 and 88. MTV wasn’t crap. The History Channel had actual history shows and the Discovery Channel always had top notch science shows. We also had “Night Flight” on “USA’s Up All Night.” They would run back to back episodes, starting at 9pm on Saturday nights and ending around 4-5am Sunday.
Anyone who remembers 80s cable TV should feel incredibly ripped off by what they’re showing today.
Remember when the big selling point of cable TV was no advertising? And then it became 99% ads?
Yeah.

When billionaires have special access to lawmakers and the rule-making machinery, the the “law” is whatever they want it to be.
If you live in a society where you work a 40 hour week and you STILL can’t afford basic things like shelter, food, utilities and healthcare, then the rich are stealing too goddamn much from you.
The Market includes companies like Blackstone, who scoop up houses at auction, lightly flip them and then put them back on the market as high-priced rentals.
Stop simping for billionaires. It’s embarrassing to watch.
