i am going to find whatever guy invented the "communism is bad because [describe capitalism]" trope and beat him to death with my bare hands
You don't have to be coy. Murray Rothbard, Milton Friedman, and Ludwig von Mises are well known historical figures.
the level of red scare propaganda is insane, I feel like a US anti-communist from 1950 would be able to give a more accurate description of communism than most US anti-communist today
Back then Communism was real and new for a large part of the working class. So the anti-communists had to either attack it indirectly or just continue deflecting criticism of classical liberal ideology and come up with propaganda that used the philosophical and economic predecessors to Marx, the ones he directly refuted, to craft an ideology that sounded kinda like communism, but convinced you that you were the center of the economic universe instead of your class
Now you just make up literally anything and shut down any criticism of your lies.
Communism is when bad business exists. Capitalism is when based business exists.
You know you're in a Communist Hellhole when you are a poor man struggling to survive under a system that siphons away your surplus labor.
You know you're in a Capitalist Utopia when you are a rich man accumulating enormous fortunes from the surplus value of your private holdings.
I saw a guy say that Parasite wasn’t a critique on capitalism, but “human nature” and “class culture” and that humans are just greedy and conniving.
if you asked this person to define capitalism they'd probably say some version of "capitalism is when there are markets"

So when mega corporations control everything thats communism huh ? Interesting
I just switched my cats' litter because I found out Nestle, a chocolate company, owns it but sure.
Gommunism is when state capitalism so when the state gets fully replaced by corporations then that's communism

"it's not real capitalism, it corporatism (which is fascism and fascism is a leftist ideology)"
Most politically literate g*mer, I wonder what they think ”state owned businesses” even are.
If anything, Outer Worlds was extremely
since the so-called good ending doesn't involve getting rid of the corporations.The Outer Worlds teaches you that the solution is always in the middle, and that compromise is the most important thing. Being 'extreme' in your response always gets you a worse ending. The solution to all of the evil corporations is to empower a "good" corporation instead. It's such a fucking liberal game.
The revolutionaries on Fish Planet are portrayed as just as bad, if not worse, than the capitalists starving everyone to death IIRC? It's a very both sides game.
Oh also the necrogardeners on the first planet let a bunch of people starve for no reason.
