IMO, communism hasn’t gotten a truly fair shake. Many, MANY feudalistic and capitalistic societies died for all sorts of reasons. Nowhere nearly as many communist existences were attempted, so the apparent survival and success rates would seem lower.
In any case, I think that some form of democratic socialism would be the next step beyond the USA’s Republic government. Much as how the Magna Carta and the Constitution reduced the political power of rulers, I believe an economic Bill of Rights would be needed. Things that guarantee housing, UBI, wealth floors and ceilings, worker unionization and voting on leadership pay, ect.
Yeah look, I’d agree with your view on the fair shake to a degree.
I don’t think it’s the right time for this style of government. We have to be a lot more at peace, with higher integrity across the board and be thinking a lot more critically for something like communism to succeed. The Chinese don’t practice it, that’s for sure, though even there you see many of the social aspects of it doing the good they natively do.
I’d agree with where you say the US might head too, if its people can pull it out of its mess. There’s a lot of reconciling to be done though because all the powerbrokers on the right side and some on the left are guilty of crimes and need to face those.
