It was working minimum wage jobs while studying economics that made me a communist. Because the math of the myths of capitalism doesn’t work.
It’s one reason I laugh whenever some libertarian tells me I need to learn basic econ - because buddy, I learned basic, advanced, and I usually know your theory better than you do. It’s why I know it’s dogshit.
If you think communism is a solution to your problems, you’re dead wrong. You’ve been told things you wanted to hear, not the truth how communist state looks like in real life.
“Been told” lol. I’m reminded of back in high school when I told my parents I thought gay people should have rights and they responded “who’s putting these ideas into your head?” It is, in fact, possible for me to come to conclusions on my own.

And what do capitalist states look like in real life for those not in the 0.1%?

OK economically, while still enjoying nice things like criticizing the government.
