i think capatlism responds better to our primary urges
+
communism doesn't have too good a track record (and yes i realise there r more communist countries than russia... such as china, north korea, cuba, other countries here and there from europe, south america, etc.).
its a great ideal, i'm just yet 2 see great evidence of how taking people's individual freedoms away for the sake of the collective has ever worked.
we need a balance of both. capatalism with a soul, i like to call it.
also, my issue is not so much with communism but with marxism. the guy had some pretty freaky ideas that i don't quite agree with.
so "its obvious capatalism is not working". could u pls give me some examples of this (just for the sake of discourse) so i can compare them to examples of communism not working? (i want 2 c which examples r worse, but also, how each of these examples relate to the "true spirit" of capatalism/communism)
