      Will you answer my questions or not? Why did more people risk their lives to leave Cuba and East Germany than the other way? Why hasn’t the Russians revolted against Putin despite the excesses of his government? He has high approval rating of 80%. Wouldn’t you say that the Russians actually support him and the system he upholds more than the communism? Wouldn’t you say there is reason as to why communism fell, and now Russians appear to be more supportive of the current status quo?

      Libertarians support unregulated free market because they benefit from rising stocks and worker exploitation. Are you a communist because you are jobless and on welfare? Considering how quick you reply with pre-packaged gish gallop comments, perhaps you do not work at all or ever at all? Or do you extort farmers and such? Do you benefit from communism in one way or another? Did you just admit that atrocities in communism is okay, since capitalism does it anyway? Do you believe that two wrongs make a right? Do you relish in power or getting free stuff from communism to have become its supporter?

        I’ve tried answering your questions, and it’s pretty clear that you just ignore what I say and keep repeating the same thing over and over. You’re just a troll, and I’m not going to waste more time feeding you. If you’re genuinely interested, then go and read all the materials and resources I provided you above. Of course, you’re not going to do that because you’re just here to troll. I do feel sorry for you, hope you get the help you need one day.

          No you haven’t. Do you, or do you not approve of mass arrest under the Soviet Union? Did you speak to anyone arrested by Soviet secret police before? Are you a welfare benefit receiver? Do you have a job to keep you busy enough? Is this why you are a communist?

              Anyone with half a brain and could read elementary level will see that you have not answered all my question.

              We both admit that the West is flawed. However, just a yes or no. Do you acknowledge that USSR has wrongfully imprisoned and created atrocities that is just as morally bad?

                  Just answer the questions with yes or no that’s what I am asking of you. Do you approve of Soviet mass imprisonment and purges that happened? Have you spoken to those who were imprisoned? Are you jobless and on welfare?

                    I already answered this question. Why don’t you answer this question, if you have two imperfect systems and one results in less suffering than the other which system is better?
