It’s because when the current system is unsustainable people start to promote other ideas.
I get that you need to infantilize the position to stay so flippant but unfortunately for you it’s more childish to resort to insults when you can’t come up with any other response but still feel the need to say something.
The current system is entirely sustainable. It does need reforms, but a regulated market economy combined with strong social welfare programmes is the best economic system we've come up with so far, by a very large margin. Planned economies were attempted, they universally failed.
Dem-soc alert
"It’s communist propaganda to point out the vast inequality that continues to worsen."
No you’re right, everything is just peachy.
I think it's angry people who have no idea what living under communism is like giving up on asking nicely for a socialist reforms.
Things are getting pretty bad in the US. Anger at the inequality is building. And for a few people they are angry enough to buy into the batshit idea that a "dictatorship of the proletariat" would be easier on them then the current system.
Im not sure how it was during the time, but a lot of people in my country that lived under communism want it back
I'd love to know more. Can you share your nation and the general region you're in? Maybe I can visit and speak with these people.
I live in Romania
I have a contact in Cluj. I could stay with him and learn about the local sentiment. Do you think I would be able to find people who want communism back in that city?
Yes
Consider educating yourself (lol, I can't even type that with a straight face, but here it is anyway, for anyone who does actually want out of this capitalism hell):

this argument is so obnoxious, like how old do you think Lenin is? Castro? Ho Chi Minh? Marx? where does this notion that communists are all young come from? There are at least 5 communists over 70 years old in my local organizing circle
Your on .ml if you don't want to see a bunch of communists pointing you may want to go on .world
Lemmy is A developed by Marxist Leninist B through it's structure and the activity pub standard it is way more appalling to Leftists than other social media platforms and C Cyberghost loves for some reason to post (mostly tankie) propaganda into this meme channel. I mean this one is a good meme many others are not
Trolls
Lul, leftist memes are getting really cringe, is this facebook?
Eh, I dunno how I feel about simplyfing communism to be representative of all leftist beliefs. Moreover, it's still less cringe than spelling out how an acronym sounds. This isn't elementary school.
Cyberghost is a tankie, his memes are always cringe
