The Soviet Union's collapse in 1991 led to rampant capitalism, economic inequality, and the loss of social safety nets, undermining workers' rights. You celebrating that as some sort of liberatory event further shows your ignorance.

If there were ethical billionaires, they wouldn't be millionares. They'd be regular people with an average income because no one in their right mind needs millions of dollars to survive.

Communism ensures equality, abolishes class struggle, and empowers the working class for a just society. The world needs communism.

>Panelist Felicity Maxwell, executive director of Texans for Housing, said officials across Texas and at the state level are looking at how to emulate some of Austin’s recent actions related to zoning, including the Affordability Unlocked initiative, which was intended to remove many of the bureaucratic steps that made affordable housing too expensive to pursue profitably.

Affordability and profitability are in opposition to one another. You cannot have both.

I would suggest you continue to learn about anarchism in order to figure out your feelings towards it. You shouldn't just read anarchist literature that supports it, but also leftist literature that argues against it. Here's some you can start with:

"Anarchism or Socialism?": https://www.marxists.org/reference/archive/stalin/works/1906/12/x01.htm

"Socialism: Utopian and Scientific": https://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1880/soc-utop/

"The German Ideology": https://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1845/german-ideology/

"Critique of the Gotha Program": https://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1875/gotha/

@northernlights @RegGuy @Kierkegaanks

absolutely correct

but

the concept of #socialism, however defined in any honest thoughtful manner, has absolutely no meaning to the kind of #American #MAGA chud who constantly screams about "socialism! WHARGARRRBBBL"

for such complete morons socialism might as well mean "poopiehead"

...although, "#woke" is their new go-to ingroup-outgroup dog whistle
