Capitalism and socialism end up at wildly different outcomes. Capitalism enriches the capitalist class off the backs of the global working classes, while socialist countries historically have managed to dramatically uplift the working classes. When you make historically false claims like this, equating capitalism and communism, and then blame others who correctly analyze these systems for “not having creativity,” you destroy your own position.
I’m not into absolutes and I actually don’t believe in silver bullet political philosophies. We need to take good ideas from all philosophies and combine them into something greater than the sum of it’s parts. I have stayed at Soviet era luxury resorts. These were for the top political class only. You cannot tell me that there was no hierarchy and power dynamics in the USSR. It’s simply not true.
First of all, the idea that combining various contradictory philosophies somehow creates something greater is remarkably flawed logic. Dialectical Materialism is not a “silver bullet political philosophy,” it’s a coherent and practical worldview that equips us with the tools needed to change the world in favor of the working classes.
As for the idea of a “political class,” this does not exist. Administrators in the USSR were members of the working classes, not a class in and of themselves. I never once said hierarchy and power dynamics did not exist, so I have no idea where you got that idea from. Intra-class hierarchies like teacher and principal exist, both are working class but their level of managerial capacity is different. Communism and socialism do not abolish hierarchy, but class.

You’re projecting anarchist beliefs onto Marxism.
