L take, communism and socialism don't work and never will. There's a reason every communist or socialist country has failed or fallen back into capitalism for the masses and authoritarianism for the top.
Socialism and capitalism work together.... Socialist countries do work and have worked. However, none of the successful ones were fully socialist. Mainly because the world isn't utopian and people are people. Communism and socialism aren't the same thing. Socialism can be designed to work with capitalism allowing a free market but providing basic human needs like shelter, food, and water. it can also be designed to create fair wages and lower the wealth gap between the wealthy and poor. Communism can not work with capitalism and a free market and can be successful in very small groups but fails in larger groups. Capitalism is not for the masses. It promotes unhealthy work laws and without socialist ideas like unions you wouldn't have things like fire excapes, limits on the amount of hours one can work without overtime, or the average 8 hour work day. Before you tout capitalism as the most amazing form of an economic system do research on it, look at history, and don't just take capitalistic indoctrination as truth.
"During the years of Stalin's reign, the Soviet nation made dramatic gains in literacy, industrial wages, health care, and women's rights. These accomplishments usually go unmentioned when the Stalinist era is discussed. To say that "socialism doesn't work" is to overlook the fact that it did. In Eastern Europe, Russia, China, Mongolia, North Korea, and Cuba, revolutionary communism created a life for the mass of people that was far better than the wretched existence they had endured under feudal lords, military bosses, foreign colonizers, and Western capitalists. The end result was a dramatic improvement in living conditions for hundreds of millions of people on a scale never before or since witnessed in history."
