They even had to build a wall to keep the capitalist working class outside of east Berlin.

That Pew data is outdated. They have new data from 2019. Why did you post outdated and bad data to strengthen you belief?

The latest research literally says conditions are better now for most people. Unless you hate homosexuals and women. Every metric indicate high standards of life and rights.

I hate capitalism as much as the next person. But posting like you did is how we got Trump. Just faking everything till it happens.

"Bad data" is when you use data more representative of people who have actually lived under socialism and experienced the massive decline in quality of life, social welfare, housing, etc after capitalist bastards took it over and privatized everything for their profit

Ye sure. No communist project has ever worked out because some people are by nature evil and hungry for power. Every communist regime has gone to shit because of it. Anyone hungry for power should be imprisoned because they are a danger to society. But most people rely on direction to function. It's a double edged blade.

Capitalism ruins everything in its path and communism eat it's children. Welcome to the suck.
