I think communism is a fantastic idea but don't think it's truly workable in practice, regrettably. True democratic socialism seems more realistic, but also has problems. But being a communist and then just defending all communists regardless of what they're doing is problematic.
Wait until you find out capitalism doesn't work in practice
Yeah exactly. I don't mind people who read about communism and think it's a good idea. I used to think communism was better than capitalism when I was younger as well, although I was not at all as well read up on it as some people here. But a subset of them (who I refer to as tankies) appear to support all kinds of horrible regimes because they used to be "communist" like China or sometimes even Russia.
