100,000 years or so, in various forms

Homosapiens have been around for 300,000 years. Homos (lol) have been around for millions of years. Homo erectus was around for just shy of two million years alone.

And for the vast majority of that time we weren't engaged on a free market economy.

You're just reiterating your observably false nonsense. Humans have improved from actual barbarians to slavers to civilised groups. Also "if everyone would just..." is not at all a communist position.

Also unsure if you realise this or not but you have the same misanthropic ideology of a mass shooter.

If I lived with your level of cynicism and bleak ass outlook every day I would kill myself, but you've shown us all today that people are capable of going beyond expectations

Communism always ends with corrupt, power hungry dictators.

When you confuse capitalism for communism.

Humans have been around for 100,000 years or so, in various forms, so why in all our the known history, have we not been better yet?

Uhm, for like 95% of that time people have usually been better? There is little opportunity to become a dictator in a small group of hunter and gatherers and anthropological and archiological evidence points to many of these groups having been strongly egalitarian.

Communism always ends with corrupt, power hungry dictators.

"Communism is bad because " Challenge still ongoing, perfect record.

Brother, you don't need a specific economic organization to enable authoritarianism. You just need people with determination. You're literally living through a capitalist dictatorship, doing genocide and robbing value from it's people right now, almost no matter where in the world you live.

We're plagued by those that'd rather let the invicible hand help carry the trickle up to the top rungs of the economic ladder.

300,000* years, and a lot of that history is lost, but there's probably a lot more you just don't know about. There's a book called the dawn of everything: a new history of humanity by anthropologist David graeber and archeologist David wengrow that challenges the traditional view of human history. They provide evidence that early societies were much more complex than we've been led to believe.

Why do you seem to think a system beginning in the 16th century and developed in the 18th century would be better than something we could come up with today?

Communism always ends with corrupt, power hungry dictators.

What if head government positions in general are attractive to corrupt, power hungry dictators?

The Weimar Republic wasn't communist, and it got a corrupt, power hungry dictator.

The United States isn't communist, and it's dealing with a corrupt, power hungry dictator.

Israel isn't communist, and it's dealing with a corrupt, power hungry dictator.

I wonder if maybe there are other factors in play that you aren't considering.

always

Always? Are you sure? Let's say there's a corrupt, power hungry person looking for a government spot. How would communism make it easier for the person to get into power, than in a capitalist system?

What are your opinions on piracy? Do you pirate software/media?

What about adblocking?

So now you are moving goal post by adding in power, once your argument disappear ?

Individualism and egotism are what make y'all bad people in general. I dare you to live a year in a country with communitarian values to deprogram.
