Communists, go live in Russia if you think America is so bad. I will take my good quality of life in capitalist America over any communist shithole all the live long day.

Communism is only good for impractical fantasy ideas and authoritarian shitholes. Prove me wrong if you can.

I don't know about that but I heard there's No True Scotsmen there.

Alternative option: Communists, move to China if America is so bad.
