Neo-Communists argue that capitalism, despite its successes, has inherent flaws such as income inequality, exploitation of workers, and environmental degradation. They believe that these issues can be addressed through a more equitable distribution of wealth and resources, which is a fundamental principle of communism. However, unlike traditional communists, Neo-Communists often advocate for democratic political systems and respect for individual rights, which they believe were lacking in 20th-century communist regimes.
