A few possible answers:

1) Brainwashed from birth
2) Indoctrinated in their college clique
3) Refuse to learn relevant skills and become productive responsible adults, so they want to blame the system
4) Deep hatred for the west and the progress we've made in the last 200 years thanks to capitalism / western values
5) Severe violent tendencies
6) Ignorant of basic history and doesn't know what communism is

all this stuff sounds pretty crazy to me, are we sure they're real people? can I safely progress through my career choice without having my assets seized violently later down the line?

Arm yourself and vote. And participate in the conversation. Otherwise there is a risk of your assets being appropriated / redistributed down the line.

I think the big difference is that the initial communists created it as a response to their dissatisfaction. Meanwhile, a lot of the communists we have now mostly choose it because "this is the thing you're supposed to choose when you don't like capitalism." In that sense, the initial communists were a far more ambitious bunch.

Communist countries have traditionally been environmental nightmares and tend to have significant income inequality (and when they don't, they still have vast differences between social classes, as the politicians are effectively above the law while few others have much in the way of rights)

Any process that does that can potentially cause pollution depending on what the raw materials are. It is fallacious to say that capitalism is predicated on destroying the environment. It is not.

Anyone who pauses for even a goddam second to think critically about that proposition will realize how stupid it is. Let's use a familiar example - smartphones. Over time, smartphones have gotten simpler and smaller, and thus their resource consumption has decreased. The same is true of electronics devices in general.

Or solar, which employs a ton of Americans and is a growing industry. It is predicated on building long lasting solar paneps that replace the need to burn coal.

Rinse and repeat. Capitalism is solely about the free market, free enterprise, and freedom to compete.

averagejoel plays this delusional game where any socialist or communist effort was not actually socialist or communist. And when it was, "western imperialism" somehow prevented it from succeeding.

He is dishonest as fuck. Note also that just the other day he once again defended violent revolution and executing the succesful and their children.

Take a look for yourself.

I also have numerous topics saved where he tried to argue with me prior to "ignoring" me and got utterly ravaged by me and other people. He literally has no clue what he's talking about.

Those phones are shipped from overseas bc its cheaper to pay the third world children to build them for pennies. The pollution is generated bc of capitalism.

Technology gets more efficient each year. Phones and televisions used to require far more in precious resources than they do now. In fact televisions almost went extinct because they used to be made out of a rare metal back when they still used cathode rays. Thanks to capitalism we were able to find alternate ways to produce those goods. Capitalism is all about efficiency of resources.

Pollution gets generated no matter what. Capitalism is the best solution we have for discovering new ways to get rid of pollution.

It's not a free market if there's too much bullshit intervention. And solar is still by far the cheapest form of new electricity. Even Saudi Arabia is investing heavily in it. India just scrapped plans for new coal power plants and is just going to install more solar because of how cheap it is.

That's thanks to the free market that identified a renewable as the best option and made it super cheap to produce and enjoy.

You literally have no idea what you're talking about.
