The komunist kids of lemmy like to outrage one another by invoking big bad capitalism, but always seem to side-step the fact that any and/or all forms of government/economies- when allowed to run unchecked, will exhibit similar results.
Look at both China and Russia. As authoritarian as it gets and the poors there suffer the same as we do, all all so that their elite can thrive just as ours does. And they like to pretend it’s not happening while in between the doom-scrolling on their capitalist-produced smartphones and watching corporate sponsored blowhards on YouTube their grubby little fingers point ever outward.
China produces ~65% of global smartphones. At worst US companies simply re-brand products from overseas OEMs, at best they’re using Chinese produced semiconductors and components to create original products.
The rest of the consumer electronics market is pretty similar. If you believe modern China is communist then they are “doom-scrolling on their communist-produced smartphones” through a communist produced network infrastructure which you are, most likely, reading through a communist-produced screen.
I would argue however that modern China largely split the difference between the USSR, which you are McCarthy-ing about, and the modern Russian Federation, which explicitly reformed into a liberal democracy with a capitalist market economy.
Wow… it seems you missed the point by a long-shot, so let me simplify:
You all circlejerk your hilarious hate of capitalism using protects created by industries that exists as a direct result of capitalism, (iPhone, android).
Don’t think everyone doesn’t see all of you taking part in consumerism granted by the existence of capitalism while you while and complains about how it’s ruining everyone’s lives.
Per my previous comment which you conveniently ignored in favor of manufacturing your own-
These smartphones were purchased with money from capitalist companies, thereby fueling the very machine you hate- while also using, and paying for- capitalistic internet services in order to bitch and moan on social media services that also allow connection to and from l capitalist countries.
But by all means. Keep using it to whine about how it’s ruined your life.

Hypocrites, all of you.
Let me simplify: iPhones are built and designed by, what you consider, Communists.
Android is capitalism appropriating the largely anarchist project of Linux. Which if capitalists had their way would’ve been strangled in its cradle.
Aaaaand, you believe this to be true….
Aaaaand, you have no arguments to the contrary…
Reality serves as its own argument to that nonsense. I don’t exercise futility.
Per my previous comment, reality disagrees with you.
