Sure, but maybe this is still progress. I would much rather be “publicly traded” than “privately held”.

Also, missing from this argument is the inevitability that every communist government just outright enslaves its people.

Pick one. Communism - as described by Marx - is definitionally stateless. Any government calling itself "communist" is lying. Any supporter of such a government calling oneself "communist" is lying.

The world would be a much better place if we as individuals would actually critically examine things instead of taking them at face value. The irony of people continuing to object to so-called "collectivism" while themselves collectively masquerading misinformation as fact is thick enough to spread on toast.
