"The system is broken." and "It was designed for property owning white men." are two different positions. One is "the system is broken" The other is "It was designed to work this way." So which is it you believe?

"It was designed to work this way." is more accurate.
But if you want a dialogue you need to offer up something on the topic you’ve raised, rather than just picking at my good faith replies within the comment character limit.
I believe the system is working exactly as intended and needs to be dismantled.
I think it was originally designed for property owning white men. I think we’ve made some real and some cosmetic improvements. What do you propose?
If you’re foolish enough to be proposing any variation on the Soviet or Russian systems, we could not disagree more. They are proven disasters. But the cat rules!
How exactly were the proven disasters? Every country that made the transition to socialism saw a huge improvement to people's material conditions from literacy rates, to home ownership, to caloric intake. The only thing that proved to be disastrous was CIA backed regime change.
And before you jump to it, while the death toll of communism is incredibly inflated from US propaganda (Most notably the Black Book of Communism which all but one of it's authors admitted they were just making shit up), Stalin's period of the Soviet Union was an embarrassment in many ways.
Good luck with that narrative. But if you believe that, then it looks like the Russians are getting their revenge in the form of their agent, fat Don Trump.
Current day Russia is not communist. Not even slightly.
Didn’t suggest it was. I was ironically referring to the turn of influence. Character limit discourages really full discussion.
I mean yeah, you're not wrong there. That's largely thanks to the US's own imperialist belligerence turning the whole world against it.
