Would I be a communist in 1900 - 99% that I would be
Would I be in 2020 - almost certainly not
Would I like to see something better than "West" - absolutely
That's fair enough. My disagreement would be that the capitalist/communist divide is historically determined. There is not 'other' (the other would be fascism, but that remains within capitalism. And no, the nazis weren't socialist. Buffalo Wild Wings doesn't serve Buffalos. Camel Cigarettes aren't made from camels)
I can't speak much about Yugoslavia because it's not a historical moment I've studied much. Speaking of communism as a social experiment, both occurred under intense attack by the West, along with their own internal contradictions. The example you cite in Yugoslavia, of the unproductive nature of the economy, I'd say is less an example of what communism could be (I consider all those experiments as socialist, not communist btw) and more of how it degenerates under capitalist market conditions.
Communism needs to be a global phenomenon to succeed. Either way, the nature of things as they are now offer no solution to global climate change, which will soon render this planet uninhabitable to these useless debates
