Why don’t you try out Cuba?

Shocking. A poor American kid who wants communism because he can't provide for himself in the wealthiest nation the world has ever seen because capitalism requires talent and effort. .

Your stupidity is boundless.

Oh come on. Plenty of people weren't born with wealthy parents and still managed a working class, middle class, or even upper middle class lifestyle. Stop making excuses and stop indulging in escapism and do something meaningful with your life. Your communist fantasies are just escapism. You use it as an out to blame all your failures on "the system" or "the rich people". You have no idea how it was in previous decades. You sit and watch TV and get a false perspective, thinking you should have a house by age 25, blah blah blah. In the past people scrimped and saved for years to buy their first house. You say you're poor but I bet you pay for a cell phone and internet. in the 1960s or 1970s, nobody had these things, nobody had half of what you take for granted today.

You can work anywhere, McDonalds, Waffle House, a bar and save enough money to go there. You don't really want to go there. You know it's much easier for you in America and that's why you stay. You're a "communist" only because you have the luxury of fantasizing about how it would be in a communist society while living with all the freedom and benefits of a Western Capitalist nation. Face it, communism is a fantasy, a utopian ideal that can't ever work because it doesn't in any way account for human nature and also because it just isn't a great way for people to live. It actually always becomes an intensification of the wealth gap, where pretty much EVERYBODY is poor except the politicians, their friends and family (who tend to raid the treasury of all your tax money and spend it on themselves), and whichever celebrity or sports star that gets some extra perks, such as a two bedroom apartment instead of a one room studio for acting as an ambassador for the regime.

Yeah, there are dozens of jobs that about anybody can get in most cities and I know this because I've done a lot of them. I'm not an idealist, I'm probably thirty or forty years older than you and I've walked the walk and I'm also related to people who went through the Great Depression, whereas you live in a fantasyland that's comfortable for you because you can't deal with the fact that life is hard and nobody is guaranteed a free lunch, including you. Life is HARD. It's hard for the birds, it's hard for the squirrels, it's hard for the bears, and it's hard for humans. The only ones complaining about it and refusing to deal with it are the spoiled humans. You don't see birds hating the world because nobody is giving them free bird seed every day.

You would be back in a week. Try getting a job if you need money, like everyone else.
