True, but in principle they believe that communism/socialism will bring equality. By contrast, free markets are based on competition. Of course we know that these beliefs have not exactly translated into reality whenever they've had a chance to implement their childish ideologies.

That's the thing though, even a cursory exploration reveals that these systems always fail to improve the lives of anyone except the few who are in power. Someone is knowingly spreading lies. Those who have the power to spread these ideas know better, they do it anyway. The question is why do THEY do it.
