you know how libs always say knee-jerk "communism only works on paper" despite the opposite being true? i would like to crowdsource help in writing a good retort to that, that could. hopefully plant seeds in someone’s mind.

    but look at America; it’s capitalist and it’s the wealthiest country in the world

    That could be a good starting point for a critique of capitalism. The US is extremely rich but it still sucks ass for the people.

      Exactly -- the reality of the situation is even more favorable for socialism, so let's just start there. Capitalism, regardless of what anyone says about the theory, doesn't "work" by any definition that most people would find meaningful.
