    The logical fallacy was committed by you when you equivocated with zero support, Communism and “The Free Market.” The free market has never existed except as a thought experiment so that market economists can try to model what effects supply and demand would have on a frictionless market. It’s equivalent to physics classes where you ignore air-resistance and friction. No one claims physics is a fairy-tale and it would be absurd to claim that market economics and physics are both fairy-tales for “exactly the same reason.”

    Communism on the other hand is a well-defined and studied economic system, and aspects of that economic system exist in every country on earth.

      Well you’re either claiming capitalism or communism has no history of genocide. I’m too tired to dig through your word salad to try and figure out which. Either way, you’re hilariously wrong.

      I didn’t say anything about support anything, I was commenting on the fact that your comment has in it the inherit assumption that no matter what there’s going to be genocide and that somehow the middle road was just a little genocide.

      There are a lot of people on the same side when it comes to workers rights and freedom from capitalist oppression, but my short time on lemmy has shown me that a LOT of communists are hostile to everyone that isn’t 100% on board with Mao which leaves you pushing away potential allies.
