The most suppressed book in communist states wasn't 1984 — it was "The New Class" by Milovan Djilas
Paradoxically, it's a Marxist critique arguing communist systems simply created a new, exploitative "intellectual class"

That analysis was treated as the ultimate heresy by communist authorities

When you're in the bottom level of the system ruled by capitalism, communism must sound like a pleasant dream...

I think late stage capitalism is broken, even though it has good decent relatively sound foundation... if only people know when to stop.

Yeah, late-stage capitalism does feel rigged sometimes – endless growth chase without the benefits trickling down. Communism sounds fairer in theory, but history shows it crashes hard too. Balance is key, right?

If not for history showing us how Communism fails, I'd probably be supporting it too.

Capitalism while also fated for ruin, it gives a chance to more people to rise up, and for longer. Sadly, when capitalism crashes, the whole world is going down with it, and it's near...

True, history's a harsh teacher on communism. Capitalism's flaws are glaring now, but yeah, that global crash potential is scary – feels like we're skating on thin ice.

Capitalism and Communism are two sides of the same coin. Both created by Jews to provide a false dichotomy that would enslave humanity. There is a third way....

Well, the Islamic way allows for property ownership like capitalism, but enforces wealth sharing via Zakat (obligatory charity) and most importantly, it makes usury/interest unlawful... A true Islamic society wouldn't suffer from capitalism flaws as much...

I'd love to know about the third way you have in mind.

I was talking about national socialism/fascism. I prefer monarchy, but sadly the West is so morally depraved right now we need a strong dictatorship for about 20 years to get us back in line.

Well, I see your point... I think monarchy/dictatorship will just do the same harm in the opposite direction, but at least it won't be as chaotic as this!

Yeah, usury was a terrible sin in Christianity until some Italian bankers corrupted the Pope.
