    Yes it’s still going on today. You can see it with developers and builders’ employees. The employees are mostly whites they might add some other female ethnicities to separate elite whites and ethnic men. If they see an ethnic male's family, they will treat you different maybe sell you the unfavorable lot for example first corner lot or much inner by the main and biggest street while whites get the cul de sac section. Is also in the customer experience treatment. Next, the HOA are control by mostly whites who hire their own white friends skimming from everyone while treating non whites worse than policy meaning issuing minor violations to them while whites do worse and are some how exempt from the HOA rules especially how its enforced. You also see this with white payrolls targeting other ethnic men the worse as tenants. Some might make an exception with ethic women but most skip whites because of race.

We have liberalist ideas, socialist ideas, capitalism and state owned things too. You gotta find a good mix. Having educated population and democracy so the people can pick and chose the mix/direction of the combined system can then create a great system, gotta have low corruption too.

    Don't forget capitalism has instilled autocracies, dictatorships, fascists, more destruction combined than Mao and Stalin's death toll. For one, they were misappropriated, secondly, a violent revolution is needed to have been done in Communism so the deaths were somewhat necessary, but Communism should've been implemented much later today when the modern era began, and... these were despots. Communism hasnt been tried, because it was forced. The French Revolution was a close example of what Communism is in the overthrow of the Bourgeoisie...but it missed the mark. If you look at the history of the world, it is undeniable that Capitalism has wrought and killed far more deaths, including the ones that Stalin has, especially as soon as Stalin established a dictatorship, it was NO LONGER Communism, but military dictatorships, because one man took power. Why is it that the United States didn't do so on their own citizens? They did, but they covered it up, and like part of the coin, they didn't want to be seen as the offenders, so they decided to change their circumstances by bringing capitalism to the world. All this talk against Communism... the truth is, it's just a couple of dictators in Communism and thousands of dictators in capitalism. You wonder why the soldiers follow their leaders and not revolt? Same thing with the soldiers in capitalistic countries. When you look closely at the differences between both countries that implement their ideologies, if you're critical about it, you'll realize there's no difference. Both enslave, for one, by capitalism you die out apathetic. You live to see greed take over humanity. For communism, you live to see a few people get greedy and rule over politics as well, same as the rich elites of capitalism. The rich elites don't bother with politics because they buy politics. They put on a show, because they use us as workers. Whereas in the modern socialist regimes, the status quo is ruled by a select few that have power over both politics and economical systems, which in literally, what Marx says in the Communist Manifesto, they don't do that. They help the Proletariat, but the Communists don't establish a party of their own and rule over others. If they do establish a political party of their own, it's to help the proletariat, the workers essentially. Mao got it wrong. Stalin got it wrong. But the capitalists want to detract that from what Marx said by saying its about classless societies. It down plays its own destructive, unnatural mechanisms that it brings forth it's justifications as "natural". Well, I guess capitalism is as natural as what animals hunt each other, and drink water then, and cooperate. Capitalism is a hidden few owning the government. Communism is the exposed few owning the government. In the end, the global death toll still stands with capitalism racking up the highest. It just doesn't need humans to shoot one another, except to starve, isolate, indirectly steal, steal directly, make pariahs, shoot directly, bomb, morally justify, make the worse criminals, etc... I can tell you throughout history, capitalism has its numbers by the billions before Marx arrived.

    The thing about communism is that in the west communism is portrayed as a bad thing. In reality it's not and is the ideal way to lead to a better and more functional and fair society. At the moment communism doesn't work because of how corrupted the system is within countries. Capitalists generally rule over most country's and are exactly like what Karl Marx said, they give the idea that working 9 to 5 is good and that everything runs fine. That's how the world has been run for thousands if not hundreds of thousands of years and the main source of payment is money. Money is bad across all borders, it's a horrible way of making payments, capitalists have forced people to work their asses just for the smallest of money and then have to give back to them and then pay for everything else just to repeat this process over and over again Communism creates a society where everything is almost completely fair, no upper or lower class, no money, work is still needed but used differently and don't need to pay for anything. If we were to just start a communist world it wouldn't work because we wouldn't know how to deal with all the problems at once so the world would need to take it in small steps, for example just by making bread free and not cost anything would make a huge difference. But in order for communism to actually work the world would need to come together and work with each other. However because of hoe different each snd every country is it would most likely not work or would need a lot of time. I am a communist and I believe that if we try hard enough we can make it work but it would definitely be tough and needs time.

You misspelled "Beurocracy" twice in the video when it should have been spelled "Bureaucracy". "Lennonism" when it should have been spelled "Leninism". "Maosim" wasn't even capitalized.
