Ok, but that seems like a non sequitur. I don’t understand how your metaphor is supposed to help translate “[capitalism] beats communism any day of the week” into “communism isn’t automatically good because capitalism isn’t”. Those are two completely different statements.
I think it would help me if you connected the dots more when you write things.
Person A thinks capitalism sucks because it has traffic, over saturated consumerism, and healthcare for profit.
Person B thinks that communism has most of those things as well, and makes a point to insinuate that capitalism, while having those problems- is still better than communism when communism has very few examples of actually being any better.
To further explain-
Complaining about something while offering little to remedy the complaint is pointless. Therefore, I simply offered a counter argument that was at least productive.
I absolutely did not get that meaning from your comment at the top of this thread, which was:
Every shitty neighborhood has that one house that’s juuuuusst a bit less shitty than the rest.
But it’s still shitty.

I was being sarcastic.

Ok, I understand what you meant better. Thanks for explaining further.
