Are you sure it’s not socialism? Or maybe it’s antifa. Oh, I know! It’s Hunter Biden’s laptop! Yes, price caps are because of Hunter Biden and his nefarious laptop.

Why? It’s all over Google: www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-1-d&q=pric… Isn’t communism you wanted?

Communism is not price controls, Jesus. It’s the state seizing assets from wealthy people and nationalizing businesses. Regulating how businesses can operate in a capitalist system is nothing new. You could call it socialism and even that’s a stretch.

How do you have price controls without prices? Price regulation is explicitly a phenomenon in market economies.

and this is how the starvation starts. With caps on prices, it becomes unprofitable and they just reduce supply. Talk to any survivors of communism and low food supplies has always been an issue.
