MODERATORS
Yes, but a functioning democratic system does not allow that.
Any power tripping person could overthrow a country for different reasons (like Hitler for example)
Capitalism encourages the break down of the democratic system.
Where communism never had any democracy to start with.
Thats because the US toppled every Democratic attempt at communism and socialism with staged coups and assassinations.
And why’s that folks? That’s right! The profit motive!
Yes, the US is clearly to blame for the Stasi.
Unbridled capitalism.
No, just capitalism is correct. Unbridled or not, the profit incentive and private ownership over the means of production, both of which are intrinsic to a capitalist economic structure, still exist and contribute to systemic oppression.
