It's so Chinese for communism to be the solution to everyone's problems.

@Mozzarella Sticks i mean i guess. It would work in the real world too. EXCEPT for human greed. In this manhua there are gods and whatnot that arent greedy and can police people. In the real world there are none so communism sadly fails
@Choco true
@Choco That's a little like saying that purpetual motion would work except for physics. You can't build a system for people if that system is built irrespective of how people work. This is why capitalism works much better, because the system expects that people will seek after their own interests first and that self-interest coincides with other people's interests as well (i.e. you serve the client well because you want the client to come back again).
It was an interesting manhua but I'm done. I can accept magic and gods and even a system, but the idea that communism is the universal solution to everyone's problems without first modifying the core of human nature is frankly pushing this too far out of relatability for me.

@Prinzinc no. they become slighty anti communist later. gotta pass the CCP's checks first. ya know?
@Prinzinc capitalism also does not take human nature into account in the way that would solve it. It encourages it beyond what a normál society should have. Because why care about the customer if they have no other option but to buy from you? And they have to buy from you because you bought up all the competition.
Just because it lasted longer than communism it doesn't make it superior. It's the same corrupt people leading both

@tormasi Again, that's like saying that a flawed system that works isn't better than a flawed system that has never worked. Of course it's better.
Forcing people to buy from a single source isn't capitalism, it's a monopoly. Monopolies aren't capitalism because capitalism requires free trade and monopolies are inherently the death of free trade.
Seizing the means of production and demanding that the state runs most/all institutions is how socialism and communism work. That's how your get monopolies. That's why capitalism has safeguards against forming monopolies and socialism/communism requires them. If you really hate monopolies as much as you claim, then you have to hate socialism and communism more than capitalism since capitalism is the only one of those three that actively fights against monopolies.

@Prinzinc the only safeguard is wether or not the goverment is corrupted yet and has a chad FDR in charge
@Choco Again, monopolies are fundamentally illegal in capitalism but mandated by socialism and communism.
