    Many many capitalist societies have failed, but we let survivorship bias cloud our judgement.

    We’ve only really attempted communism a couple of times.

    Heck, all of the communist societies were built from the ashes of capitalist ones.

      I mean, Soviet Russia and China were really built on the bones of feudal societies, and that’s something that Marx warned against.
