> Under capitalism, individuals are allowed to own enterprises.

I live under this system, you don't need to explain it. I can see how it has failed for millions of Americans while propping up the very few.

> How anyone can support far-left ideology after the lessons of the 20th century is beyond me.

I never said I supported Communism. But Capitalism is a failure for the proles due to corruption, favoritism, and purchasing of the [American] government.

I’m not sure the scale of corruption in US government really compares to the scale of corruption that existed in Soviet Russia.

> it has failed for millions of Americans while propping up the very few

It only “fails” for people that lack the capacity or the will to contribute to society.

Whereas far-left ideology destroys wealth, freedom and happiness for everyone except the ruling class.

And the “very few” you describe is actually hundreds of millions of people who enjoy a world class high standard of living in America compared to the rest of the world.
