The Weimar Republic was also deeply economically fucked because of repayments made to the Allies post WW1. There’s a little bit of history you’re casually ignoring. It wasn’t a systemic failure of “social democracy”.
I’m not ignoring it, hence why I said the presence of some systems doesn’t necessitate the presence, and thus all consequences of unrelated systems.
Their point was that because Communist governments have committed genocides, Communism itself requires Genocide. This is absolutely false, nothing about collective ownership of property in a Stateless, Classless, Moneyless society necessitates that the collective itself be evil, hence why I made that point.
It’s fully possible to make coherent points against Communism without resorting to pure ad hominem and mysticism, and I’m fine with people making those points, as discussion adds value.
