gollark: This is a values problem, not an economic system one.
gollark: The expected value of demanding for communism appears substantially lower than that of actually helping people with malaria.
gollark: Yet they do not do this, and instead ineffectually demand communism which would totally make everything great and wonderful.
gollark: Consider: the people complaining about wanting communism could probably work in a well-paying job, obtain money, and donate it to effective charities like the Against Malaria Foundation.
gollark: Capitalism seems to be doing a fairly okay job of satisfying the values of, well, people in places with more resources, and apparently most people's values don't actually involve helping people they don't directly interact with because humans are bad.
