Can someone debunk the stupid “communism only works on paper” argument? (lemmygrad.ml)

I vaguely remember a user debunking this claim but I cannot find that comment and I don’t remember what post it was on.

someone who was born there long before the 90s

Then you must be aware that the vast majority of the people living in the USSR wanted to keep it.

I find it interesting how every single anti-communist was apparently born in the USSR and/or had their family there who all escaped evil persecution.

Every. Single. Goddamn. One. All of them. They always trot out this argument like some kind of gotcha. They do it so much, and so consistently that it honestly makes me doubt the claim at all. 90% of the time you can go through their comment history and notice how they don't actually talk like a 50-60 year old at all, and in fact talk a lot, lot more like an edgy teenager.

On the other hand, I doubt someone would ever do something horrible like lying on the internet.
