Meme still works if you substitute capitalism for communism
Going out on a limb here, but I'm guessing that's the original cartoon and this is a play on the irony of the post-modern revelation of many of capitalism's failures.
Not only that, this isn’t real X is just a bad road to go down in. You need to define what system you want and judge if you met the plan, not some ideal.

nah not really
How?
You need more skulls for communism.
think of a number that u think communism killed between 1920 and 2020 just whatever u can imagine just add up all the made up numbers u have seen in all ur favorite propaganda and keep that number in mind and open the spoiler below.

last year more than 20 million people died in capitalist countries from perfectly preventable causes such as starvation and disease and thats without even counting how many people were murdered by imperialist countries and their puppet around the world to maintain capitalism.
idk what number u came up with but i grantee u it was less than 2 billion. and ur number is an exaggeration while mine in an under estimation.
Capitalism kills more people each decade than even the wildest numbers capitalist chuds have ascribed to communism, and yet here you are. A stable genius.
Considering the brits alone managed to kill 100 million people in India alone over a span of 30 years, I think you are mistaken. Capitalism is a mass murder machine.
Comrade Yogthos chose war today.
Lemmy.ml is a fun little battleground, haha.
I don't get it.
Capitalism kills millions every yesr despite a surplus of resources and production to meet everyone's needs, but some right-wingers say it isn't true Capitalism because the state gets in the way.
when u point out the atrocities of capitalism to some libs they will say dumb shit like "its crony capitalism thats the problem" as if "crony capitalism" or whatever other excuse they come up with (like trying to separate colonialism and capitalism) was not an inevitable and intended result of what they call "real capitalism"

Yes, centrally planned by the Banks.
'Capitalism is the worst from of economy, except for all those other forms that have been tried from time to time.' - modified Winston Churchill quote. While I know how I use the quote in my head isn't how Churchill intended, to me it means don't settle for something just because it's the best option that's currently available.
The sheer amount of ignorance required to believe this is equal parts astounding and depressing. Here's what currently existing options to this despotic system are currently achieving https://www.worldbank.org/en/news/press-release/2022/04/01/lifting-800-million-people-out-of-poverty-new-report-looks-at-lessons-from-china-s-experience
Ok pal slow your roll. I'm on your side and you're right. I said what I took from his quote not what it actually means and definitely not how it's used in pop culture. I know what it means. You can call me lazy, cause I don't bother to really explain myself well online, but please don't call me ignorant. You come across as looking for a fight and that doesn't make me want to actually engage you in a serious discussion.
Wow amazing, industrialization lifts people out of poverty... never would have realized. The problem with China is that currently, akin to the later stages of the USSR, they're only redistributing the wealth insofar as that means reprivatizing and consolidating in new hands, not actually redistributing from the wealthy minority to the majority, but creating a new wealthy minority.
