So we are back to the 1980's CIA actions destabilising South America, each day feels more like Cold War is here.
Yeah because a communist dictatorship is so stable /s
That isn't the problem, but you know it.
No dictatorship has been communist. They use the mantle, that it's for nation and country, but they don't even pay lip service to communism ideals and mechanism. They are just crony capitalist, where the head of the state is the one that uses the state to control the economy rather than the rich doing it by proxy.
> the head of the state is the one that uses the state to control the economy
That's the exact opposite of capitalism.
If you continue reading, you would understand the entire context... also, political and economic system don't have to be married to each other.
I understand perfectly your attempt at muddling definitions to blame all the ills of authoritarian leftism on capitalism.
No, I'm blaming the ills of humanity on humanity. Capitalism isn't a system that existed till... like 180 years ago. The industrial revolution didn't happen when "capitalism" as a concept existed. Capitalism existed in the time that Marx was alive. Also, I'm muddling concepts? No, the public doesn't know crap about this stuff. I studied 6 years economics, so I have become very annoyed when people call communism or socialism to countries that were neither just because their governants called themselves such.
Read any good book about history of economic theory and thought, you will see that the crap that people talk about on tv and the internet isn't even near with what actual academics study.
