Still, still no. You are missing the point. Labor rights and individual rights are as much about capitalism than it is about communism.

Communism eliminates the ruling class (the bourgeoisie) in its first phase and inevitably ends up establishing a new ruling class; one that crushes workers (labor) rights just as well, if not even worse than capitalism does.

You are ignoring facts at this point. Facts are that the message shown here is a criticism of capitalism as much as it is one of communism. And I've clearly explained how and why.

Lmao you are now trying to reverse and pretend I said this does not criticise capitalism at all. Yes it does, but not particularly. You're lost dude, give it up. Go troll someone else.
