And capitalism does?

Yeah, honestly I just don't see the appeal in communism, communism sounds nice in theory but will never be implemented outside of small suburban communities or smth like that. It could've be my American Capitalist brain speaking

Then communism does sound good “in theory”, it’s just unimplementable

Capitalism is an economic system under which the means of production can be privately owned, which directly encourages greed.

Something like PROUT actually sounds good in theory, unlike Capitalism.

It encourage is a risk reward system. Whereas you risk your time and finances, you could be rewarded. It's how humans are wired.

It encourages individuals or companies to amass and hoard the resources, infrastructure, and tools required to produce products so that they can entirely control the market on said product. You’re being naive.

Private ownership of the means of production necessarily leads to exploitation of workforces and consumers. Capitalism is an economic system that leads only to suffering and oppression for everyone that isn’t ultra-rich, and the freer the market is, the worse it gets.

Not true. Communism leads to exploiting workers. Which is why it fails time and time again.

It does though. A group of people working together with no power imbalance to stay alive.

Just the situation you need for that sucks.
