I'm not arguing for or against capitalism. I am however, arguing against communism, and I can comfortably say "capitalism > communism" despite the flaws that you mentioned. For proof, you need only look at the quality of life in places that are or were communist and compare it to places that are capitalist.
There's no comparison. What exactly are you arguing for? You one of those AnCap types?

I'm saying that communism is a fucking strawman. Every time you mention it, you're just feeding the neoliberals ammo to keep on robbing all of us. If you're not willing to discuss how to fix capitalism, then you're part of the problem.

If he was an AnCap, he wouldn't have anything ill to say about capitalism. Just like AnComs have nothing ill to say about communism.
