Ignoring everything else wrong about your one sentence, a dictatorship needn't be helmed by a single person. Brazil was a dictatorship from the 60s to the 90s, and had 6 different presidents during that time.
Grade-school level history: I didn't need to ask which country because all of the possible countries were puppet states of a single other country...
Because a 100% of communist countries became dictatorships [...]
There are a total of 0 communist countries throughout history. Your lack of very basic knowledge is starting to make me cringe.
I’m happy now somewhere in the middle in this terrible, terrible capitalism.
That's irrelevant. If you're happy while I'm driving a nail through your eyes, does that make driving a nail through someone's eyes a good thing? The fact that you are privileged doesn't make a difference.
Oh, and I’m free to leave anytime I want
No, you're not. Your statement is so completely uneducated, I couldn't even guess where to begin dismantling it.
It's obviously not based on good intentions... how can you be this naïve? If a conservative says "but think of the children", you know fully well whatever they're proposing is not for the wellbeing of children.
Funny how that's a fallacy, and there have been countless largely communist organizations of human labor over history, which lasted just as long as capitalist society.
Is the US socialist because nVidia is a public company, therefore the shares are owned by the public? [...] The ownership of the company is shared, so it must be socialism, right? I’d say no, because it’s not shared evenly.
How did you mess up this badly? A "public company" [sic, the correct term is "publicly traded company"] is a regular private company where the owners are hundreds or even thousands of individuals. A publicly owned company is one where every single citizen owns the company simply by being alive or every single worker owns the company simply by working there.
What if a single individual owns a single “mean” of production, but everything else is owned by the state
I don't even understand what you mean by this...
Modern economies are mixes of socialism and capitalism. The people (through the government) own certain things, and individuals own other things.
No, they're not, and this shows a very serious hole in your knowledge of economic and social systems. While, informally, it's sometimes said to be the case, that's strictly an oversimplification to communicate a different idea. Countries like the US simply use a government-assisted capitalist model. Places like the Nordic countries have a more transitional system, but are ultimately still just capitalist.
There will always be broken people with pathologies like sociopathy or narcissism that wouldn’t agree [...]
And dismissing their way of perceiving the world is a choice which we make, not an objective mandate or imperative. We do it because the benefits to us ("normal people") seem to outweight the loses.
[...] at least if they had the rights and freedoms to express themselves and the education to understand and not be brainwashed
And how do you determine who falls in this category? Again, by a set of parameters which we've chosen.
[...] nonsensical since it destroys meaning itself [...]
Which is a judgement call you've externalized, again not an objective reality. You have chosen to believe that meaning is important, that self-destruction is bad. There's nothing in the universe that inherently holds this as being true. Whether one person or one billion people choose to believe something as true has no bearing on whether or not it is actually true.
You cannot argue for the elimination of meaning without using meaning itself, and after the fact it would have shown that your arguments were meaningless
You needn't argue for the elimination of meaning, because meaning isn't a substance present in reality - it's a value we ascribe to things and thoughts.
The silliest thing is that even YHWH was once but one of the Israelites' many gods. He just slowly ate away at their pantheon until there was nothing left but anger and jealousy.
