I’ve read your comments and suspect that you are actually considering making the jump to Marxism-Leninism. The answers to your questions are, as others have said: communism isn’t perfect, but it is better. Read theory. And bear in mind that supporting liberalism and fascism is the reason the west is collapsing right now and the reason you are asking these questions. Marxists have at least attempted to answer these questions with theory and praxis. Liberals and fascists ignore these questions entirely or provide at best remarkably superficial, absurd, and mystical answers (“nothing has ever really changed, humans are too corrupt”).
I used to be a liberal and was radicalized because capitalism destroyed my life and I couldn’t ignore it anymore. Some texts that really made a difference were Mao’s Combat Liberalism and Stalin’s interview with HG Wells. All my life I had been told that Mao and Stalin were evil insane genocidal maniacs who only did anything good at all by accident or because they got lucky. If this was the case, then how come both of them write/speak so well? How come they say things that are so obvious and make so much sense? Is it possible that I had been lied to my entire life by people who stood to lose from a successful communist revolution (namely, the rich who control my entire society)?
I’m probably not; I’m sure a lot of other people on the Internet have these same thoughts.
