Communism has liberated and continues to liberate people from the yoke of western oppression across the globe. That's hardly a failure just because it's not everyone's preferred form of society.

Any real freedom requires capitalism to first be overthrown, and if people don't like communist approach for doing that then the onus is on them to come up with a workable alternative. Our planet is literally dying, and we only have a few decades left to prevent the worst case scenarios which include our own extinction. Smoking blunts and making community gardens isn't going to cut it I'm afraid.

Not going to classify myself as communist or non communist or whatever, but just wanted to mention we may not even have a few decades

Yeah, it's pretty scary to watch just how rapidly the climate is unraveling.
