Agreed. “Individuals entering into society, must give up a share of liberty to preserve the rest.” -George Washington
If only the US would have more honorable people in positions of power.
Communism doesn’t prevent greed and power seeking individuals from ruining it for the rest though, it doesn’t stop its people from being greedy and going outside the system seeking more than what they’re given, and Communist countries will eventually find someone in power who decorates their palaces in gold while starving their people.
I’m not saying one system is better than the other or anything like that, Capitalism has plenty of issues, but various systems of government will find an era of prosperity followed by corrupt people figuring out how to take advantage of the system, leading to its demise or devolution into something else, something worse.
Idealistic communism or idealistic capitalism is simply unobtainable. Greedy, power-seeking individuals will always ruin them due to a system being established for so long.
