Came here to ask similar questions/take a similar argumentative position.
I don't know what in the eyes of cop is supposed to be communist about the current US social structure. I see (from the outside) modern feudalism and a social structure that, despite a simulation of democracy, is closer to European industrialization and its industrial barons and their working precariat than to a modern, democratic and fair society.

Not just in your opinion but in Adam Smith’s and Karl Marx’s as well.

> Communism?
In the US, anything you think is bad is "communism/Marxism" if you're on the political right, and "unrestrained capitalism" if you're on the political left. Don't fall into the trap of thinking there's any logic behind any of this.

I think everyone is right there, to a degree. Ie yea, the government is at fault, but who is controlling the government here? etc
The solution is balance. I'm a capitalist, but unrestrained capitalism is difficult to impossible. Unrestricted government or capitalism will fail in both cases imo.
This is uncontrolled capitalism imo. When the rich have such buying power that they own governments, as they do now, you can't really call it communism now can you? The government is just an arm of the rich now, and nothing will change until that is brought into check. Getting rid of government wouldn't stop the rich either.
