Dude, capitalism is all about being greedy and cut throat. It is a system that thrives in the exploitation of people. It is all about maximizing profit and eternal growth. Capitalism brought us colonization and slavery. There is nothing good about capitalism.
My point is that nothing is stopping people from not exploiting other people, they are consciously making that choice out of selfishness and greed. They could be content with what they have but there’s always an incessant need for more. I’m not disagreeing that it’s messed up.
A dictatorship of the proletariat creates a democratic way to use the means of production which prevents exploitation. It is possible to exploit people under capitalism because the means are privately owned. If the means are state owned it can be decided democratically how to use them and nobody gets exploited.
Read marx! Like actually google marx and read kapital or better yet Lenin’s State and Revolution. Or google On Authority by Engels (this one is just a page long, read this and you can get out of reading the others, report back afterwards if you want!)
Pol Pot says hello. Any system run by human beings will be corrupted and used for evil, its been tried.
Who was it that stopped Pol Pot again? And who was it who supported Pol Pot even after his party was removed from power?
If you want to use history as a “gotcha,” then at least get it right. Go read a book and think critically for the first fucking time in your life.
Why would they ever think, when being smug instead is clearly working out so well for them. Just look at how they’re owning all the tankies here!
You’re welcome to find yourself a different species
This is such a weak argument. You are saying that because your definition of perfection is unattainable we shouldn’t strive for better?

Same could be said for capitalism. If people could stop being such greedy, selfish assholes things would be okay but they can’t help themselves.

I am begging you liberals to just be familiar with the most basic parts of Marxism

literally debunked by marx in the first few pages of the communist manifesto
