I'm interested in why this comment is getting so knocked down?

I asked what I think is a valid question and would like to hear honest reactions from people about my observation.

I feel I have every right to be a cheerleader for Capitalism as my father escaped communist Cuba in 1959 as Castro was coming to power and used the US's system and tons of hard work to create a extremely comfortable life for himself, while friends and family members who stayed there lived rather wretched lives.

He never forgot how lucky he was to be able to get out of there just in time and told me time and time again that the US while having flaws, was by far the best place in the world to live, so my original comment comes from this background.

I don't give a flying fuck if the comment gets modded down, but i would like to know just what in it is so offensive to those modding it donw so I can learn something.



I have this weird feeling that you probably think the United States government being overthrown and replaced with the Soviet Union 2.0 is a bad idea.

I suggest "improving society somewhat" so that doesn't happen, but I have a weird feeling that you'd also consider that socialism.
