Leo, can one day America become a comunist nation?

I've been seeing an increasing amount of pro-communist content on YouTube.

I don't see it as a serious possibility.

Very few people would support it. I would speak out against it. All the communists on YT are naive fools. They don't understand the realities and complexities of governing society. These people could not govern a supermarket.

A planned economy, the government controls almost everything.

There's absolutely no way that America will ever become a communist nation. 

First off, the vast majority of Americans have always been too fearful of communism/socialism of any kind of since about the 1900s. Yes, there has been an increasing amount of young people in US who have been supporting socialism, in large part due to the influence of progressives and democratic socialists such as Sanders and AOC. However, even Sanders, AOC, and virtually every other progressive and democratic socialists in the US don't believe that the government should own practically everything. Bernie has already talked about how government shouldn't own the means of production or end of all forms of privitization. In fact, he advocates for workers owning the means of production. Plus, he and AOC have arguably never been true democratic socialists. They have been more like social democrats.

Second, is that most people in America already know how primitive communism turned out to be in countries such as Russia, China, Venezuela, Cuba, North Korea, and what have you. Almost everyone in America knows enough about how authoritarian the country would become if the government owned and ran almost everything including every home, every business, every land, every kind of institution, every kind of media outlet, etc. throughout the whole country. Plus, we all know that communism has always made a country poorer than capitalism or social democracy has.

Yes. I think the same.

Communism is too infantile stage green and fails to integrate stage orange meritocracy.

Unfettered capitalism is a huge problem but we don't want to eliminate the forces of production entirely.

I do hope stage green doesn't conflate the techno-feudalism plans being rolled out by globalists with some socialist utopia.

Lol AOC gonna put us all in the gulags
