Communism when faced with the fact that Capitalist economies were innovating better; spreading those innovations far more widely and were moving away in terms of standard of living.

Also and this has to be state as bad (and it is) as capitalism lack of care of the environment and it is going to fuck us all. It has remembered that some of the worst environmental disasters in history were caused by communists. Look at the Aral Sea (or what's left of it) as a great example

Are you fucking serious right now? Are you really fucking serious? BP, Chevron, etc? Are you fucking serious?!

The Aral sea used to be the worlds 4th largest body of water; Its gone now. Chernobyl is famous as a nuclear shit show and what not to do. Lake Karachay, Kyshtym disaster, the city of Dzerzhinsk. So on .. there are many many ecological disasters caused by communists.

Not saying that Capitalists are better you can find all manner of ecological disasters caused by private companies, private individuals and capitalist countries. I'm just saying before you start preaching look in the fucking mirror my guy your horse isn't as high as you think

Capitalism is literally destroying the planet right now.

Yeah and let me remind you that the communists played their part. No one gets off scot free and if you can go around and talk about BP Deep Horizon in 2010 and other ecological disasters caused by capitalism you should be able own up and talk about the ones caused by communism

Capitalist economies don't innovate better. Capitalism stifles innovation because competition forces people to keep their ideas protected before they go into production and then companies have to reverse engineer things to figure out what the innovations were.

Um if they didn't the Soviet Union; China before it turned capitalist in the 80s and other fellow communist states should been able to keep up right? So show me at any point when a communist nation was able to out innovate a capitalist economy. (Not talking about vanity projects)

What kind of innovation are you talking about? The innovation of selling junk and destroying the environment? Cuz capitalism does that extremely well.
Or do you mean putting the first human in space? Or developing a worker-led government? Or having higher literacy than the US currently has?

When you look at the Soviet economy is the 1960s for example this is when the space race was going on. Computing power was at its infancy and this was around the time that Communist countries came the closest to matching Capitalist countries in living standards

Now lets look at industry in most capitalist economies by this point IBM and other computer manufacturers had made computing accessible enough that private business could use computers to automate tasks and enhance productivity for first time (for many of them)

The US and other capitalist nations were the world leaders then in semi-conductor research and implementation. The Soviet by contrast (despite vanity projects might I add) had vanishingly few computers in the 1960s and whatever computers were available were reserved for military use
