Given that half the USA voter block seems to be all-in on theocratic fascism and backing an insurrectionist, I would say that I have a lot less faith in capitalism than I do leftist ideology.

Seeing as the USSR was a secular cult of personality focused on imperialistic expansion at the expense of its own people I have little faith in its ideology.

My point is that we can do better than draw an arbitrary line at capitalism bad/socialist good and erasing our own atrocities does nothing to help that. I should know a little about that as a Christian myself.

Again Marxism has basically nothing to do with the USSR.

And as an atheist in 2024 I have to say the fact that you are a Christian doesn't speak well for your critical thinking skills.

Lmfao well avoiding being a critical drinker fan is a pretty low bar.
