Everything good is capitalism and everything bad is socialism. Socialism has never worked and capitalism can not fail, it can only be failed. ![galaxy-brain](https://www.hexbear.net/pictrs/image/fa05d4fe-f163-40e0-a03d-912cd48096ad.png "emoji galaxy-brain")
Is that the same comment that blames the city for making downtown more walkable too?
yes siree it is
Walkable implies people living there and there's like no one on the streets
The streets were empty back from 2007 to 2019 and it was pretty clear the whole time that it wasn't sustainable, but back then the bars and clubs were blamed
The top comment blames socialism. This country is so fucked ![sicko-wistful](https://www.hexbear.net/pictrs/image/397348a3-d5bd-4b5b-94d6-2048118e5238.png "emoji sicko-wistful")
Just wait until they see China and find out it's communist building real socialism ![sicko-flipped](https://www.hexbear.net/pictrs/image/574a7551-c4f0-4459-b394-ef8cb06b1310.png "emoji sicko-flipped")
Edit: All seriousness, though, it does suck. We've got quite the fight on our hands here, don't we.
Best we can currently do is continue organizing and increasing political, historical and cultural literacy wherever possible.
If Americans don't like communist California and New York, they can move!
It's not just your country, this kind of understanding of politics infects the entire Western world, no doubt thanks to the cold war, and especially modern social media that spreads brainworms.
“Those damn bike lanes, affordable apartments, and light rails.”
Ruin of the working class results in the common ruin of all classes.

If capitalists were job creators then you'd think they would eventually create some better fucking jobs.
![porky-happy](https://www.hexbear.net/pictrs/image/b47fa3ca-2a2c-4dff-9375-62a7abb0d512.png "emoji porky-happy") - Better jobs would affect working people positively, which would affect my profit ambitions negatively. That's an interesting idea, so it's against the rules.
Capitalists only create jobs. The lazy, ungrateful "workers" lose them. It's not the capitalists' fault.
Having no suburban-tier treats is like having communism, so this must be communism's fault. ![marx-joker](https://www.hexbear.net/pictrs/image/e03eb568-1549-4d5a-b288-65c7df19dd8e.png "emoji marx-joker")
All the old taquerias are still operating and thriving there, though, thank the lord
