Its not an endorsement, is a criticism of those who consider themselves free thinkers but only follow the what they have been fed.
The fact that it can’t be reversed (by having the media something correct) shows the bias that “free thinking” is only good when it follows our personal bias.
Define “worked”. 1930s Catalonia had a good run. So did anarchist Ukraine. Also: about the majority of the time humanity existed “worked” without private property, money and modern nation states.
I prefer our social democracy.
“Your” social democracy is most likely currently in the process of giving power to fascists (depends on where you live, exactly. But all of Europe for example is pretty much the boiling frog meme of turning fascist.), or preparing to start WW3.
Replace communism with fascism in the meme and sudden suddenly seems stupid.
Free thinking doesn’t mean opposing common views by default, it means you reached your views (common and uncommon) by your own
You didn’t get the comic. It’s a critique of mainstream propaganda. Not an endorsement of the “free thinking” argument.

Ironic how it’s flying over so many heads
It’s kind of stupid though, most sane people know communism hasn’t exactly provided the pinnacle of human existence.
It feels less like a smart comic and more like a propaganda comic; “like communism if you are a smart free thinker”.
You’re the “Communism is bad” guy. In the lower panels.
The thought that communism has been established in USSR, China, Cuba, etc. and has proven to be horrible for human florishing is the propaganda.
Then show me a place where it worked. Oh there isn’t…

As I said: full of propaganda.
