Urge not to threaten to kill someone who goes against them. Impossible.

Truly living up to their tankie label.

Capitalists are also more than willing to kill innocent people to further their goals. Their goals are profit, though. Defending them in this context just makes it look like your advocating for profitable murder.
- Because humans can totally exist in perfect harmony under anything but capitalism. Pack it up fellas, this one's solved inherent evil in human nature!
  
  No one genuine ever said it was perfect. Just better.

'How can we convince people to move away from a capitalist society?'
'by murdering them ofc'
- I am convinced that many of them are not into communism, they just want power.
  
  They're looking for simple answers to complex questions. Capitalism being bad is obvious, but they then make the simple jump to say the opposite of capitalism must be good. Anyone who disagrees is simply subject of "western propaganda" or just racist and they can discard any counter point.

Humanity desperately needs to move away from capitalism, if it wants any chance of survival. Either that or we install a Universal base income system.
- were never getting the trek version , which is when they shed capitalism in the future after the 3rd ww(and only use it on a case by case base for many other races that still uses it)
  
  They also had replicator technology.... kind of the main ingredient there.
- I agree. I am actually becoming more inclined towards socialism sans the totalitarianism. We might have a chance once we start taxing AI and robots. After all, our data are stolen to train AI. We should get more tangible benefits from it.
  
  Socialism nor communism are supposed to have any amount of totalitarianism... The people who think they do are ignorant fools listening to the capitalist propaganda.
  The countries that call themselves socialist or communist are distinctly NOT in most cases. They're just the same old asshole ruling class userping the language of socialism/communism to trick dumb people in to maintaining support.
  Kind of like how the US calls itself "the land of the free" despite being built on slavery and ethnic cleansing of natives, now with the highest prison population in the world...
  If some country is calling themselves something... ALWAYS press X to doubt.

Y'all both sound like children.
- "Going high when they go low" isn't a sound strategy when someone threatens to kill. This underestimation and softness is what leads to the authoritarianism on either side. Nothing wrong with dipping one's hand into the mud once in a while without fully bathing one's self into the mud. Even Slavoj Zizek advocated for having a "soft dictator" like Franklin Roosevelt to counter extremism.
  
  Slavoj Zizek also advocated for voting for Donald Trump in 2016 and says that "transgenderism is incompatible with Freud", so his advocacy doesn't count for much AFAIAC.
  
  OMG no one cares!

Screaming out loud that it's ingroup / outgroup tribalism.
