We are now living in a society built around individualism and survival of the fittest. There are very few remaining third places and the people are too accustomed to this way of living in order to participate in them. As a consequence, it's more common than ever for people to have no real friends, especially working adults.

It's also the state power to oppress counter revolutionaries and the former high class, often through violence and forced labour. That to me is a form of dictatorship, even if it does provide better conditions and freedom to much more people than the newly oppressed.

I'm not saying it to praise it or condemn it, I just think it's a fact at this point.

He's reaching for the "it's not good but it's the best system we've got" from the lib capitalist playbook

Have you actually read about it from various sources that you cross referenced or are you taking this from your libertarian society that instilled its beliefs on you through culture?

People in Russia and China were much hungrier and unequal before the communist revolution, look it up. Unless you're talking about Cuba, which the US tried desperately to overturn and starve.

Which is a very uninformed (or intentionally misleading) thing to say, because Communism from it's very beginning has always assumed that there are bad actors and always will be, hence the whole dictatorship of the proletariat thing.

It begins with free speech, then you skip a few years and suddenly trans kids are scared for their lives. Speech affects people and has consequence, it is not something to take lightly.

I've written a CLI tool in Rust as a front end to tar with gzip called Targez.

It can definitely just be done with an alias instead, but you can give it a try if you prefer something installable.
