Neanwhile nobody made that argument at all. The fact that you think posting pictures of bad things that happened under communism to make an argument that communism is bad is a sound argument really highlights the quality of your intellect.

The PRC is economically capitalist despite all the hammer-and-sickle flags. Meanwhile, the USA and EU economically and militarily dominate the planet.

USSR managed to improve lives of millions of people, and the transition to capitalism has been an abject disaster. Claiming that the fact that USSR is no longer around is a failure of communism is a nonsensical argument though. Plenty of capitalist regimes fail, yet we don't see you saying that capitalism failed because of that. Meanwhile, saying that PRC is capitalist shows a profound lack of understanding of the subject on your part.

The reality is that bad things happen in every human society. The question is whether the terrible things you spammed here are an inherent result of the communist ideology or not.
