Communism is no different from full-blown capitalism. I don’t get why people choose I have to be a either capitalist or socialist. There are certain things that some elements of socialism can be good for, like having free healthcare. However, when it comes to the market, you want as fewer restrictions as possible without hurting the customers or companies growth, as that can be bad for the economy.
I don’t know why the Pi is so expensive where I live. It is like $200 USD equivalent.
