    This is indeed correct but it had dark side, like taking away people’s business or limited freedom of speech.

      Fortunately, it isn’t a package deal. You can give people homes without taking away their rights.

      Taking away people’s businesses is a good thing actually, and free speech doesn’t exist in capitalist cultures either, anything threatening the regime will be dealt with. Capitalism just has a wider range of things you can say that aren’t threatening because it has a more stable hegemony for now due to its historical position.

        Nah it’s not, taking away people believe they can built something made most people dull factory workers and those who were extra regime supportive were put in the post to build something but they often didn’t have the abilities . It’s hard to put it into words but you couldn’t have just make startup with nee awesome idea because people in the posts would not let you unless it meant increasing quota.

          , taking away people believe they can built something made most people dull factory workers

          Workers do not see the full fruits of their labor under capitalism, that is right! When worker self management in Catalonia started, factory output increased by 30 percent over the course of a month. :)

            Yep so many people who could have come up with many innovations were deprived of the chance under communism. Nothing against factory workers btw.
