Would you say that you are a full-on communist or that you are someone that is skeptical about capitalism that doesn't necessarily have a strong convictions either way?
Would others (normal people) consider your life a success by capitalist societal standards? (Decent job/own a home/family/etc) (dont need to hit all the marks)
Given the sample size, examples both historical and current, what is it about communism that enables you to overlook the failure and suffering associated with Communism? Do you simply pretend the negatives dont exist or is there something that is alluring about communism that you can live with the negatives?
Would you agree/disagree with the statement that capitalism, while flawed, is the best economic system created to date?
Would you agree / disagree with the statement that capitalism has lifted the most people out of poverty in human history?
In a capitalist society you are free to get together with a group of like-minded people, buy your own land and live out your specific communist ideals in peace. Are you aware that in a communist Society, that it is an impossibility for others to do the inverse? Is that okay?
What is the measure or bar that needs to be reached in order to convince you that communism is not a feasible way to run a society long-term? Is communism the solution to you or is it just due to a lack of choices?
With honest introspection, if you could assign a percentage, how much of your opinion is shaped by your personal successes/failures.
