    I think you could make the argument that Communist Nations maintain the sweathshops responsible for creating the components of iPhones. Also for the profits.

        Then there are no communist nations, nor in contrast does the phrase “capitalist nation” have any meaning.

        I think its okay to talk about Capitalism’s flaws and want to fix it, but to completely oppose the only system of production and distribution to exist outside of Autocracy is not helping.

          Capitalism is a historical development from feudalism, so you don’t need communism as a point of comparison/contrast for capitalist nation to exist.

          Also, the “communist” countries are, strictly speaking, capitalist if you look at their mode of production and mode of distribution. Stuff is made largely for profit, there’s private ownership, markets, things are distributed via money. As a wise man once said, name doesn’t make a thing.

          why does there not being any actual communist nations (by the very definition) mean to you there is no capitalist nation? we are in one right now.
