You claim me to be “ideologically illiterate,” then go on to agree with me that socialism isn’t communism. That doesn’t speak well of your reading comprehension or intentions.

Two sides of the same coin. Socialists all understand that socialism is the transitionary stage between capitalism and communism.

I didn’t make any claims about corruption. My claims are with outcomes, which I maintain are worse under communism.

Prove it. I cited research that shows you are wrong, you're simply ignoring the facts.

Child mortality has trended down over the last century in almost every capitalist nation, not just China. Even the really corrupt African nations.

Wow one data point! Incredible. Now do deaths from starvation, lack of clean water and curable disease. 20million die per year.

No, and this is the central argumentative failure under this dogma. Maybe people just don’t want mass redistribution? Maybe what you want isn’t what everyone else wants? Is that really so hard to accept as a possible reality? The Frankfurt School accepted this in the 1930s under the premise that “people’s lives are just too good under capitalism to ever want to move to communism.”

Holy shit your argument is "I don't want these people to live so it's ok". Colonial brained monster.
