Capitalism or Communism?

Postby cm_punk_fan on Sat Nov 24, 2007 11:33 am

which do you think is a better system? (in theory)




for me i like the idea communism offers, everyone has healthcare everyone has everything they need, no one better than anyone else.


so post what you think

thats the problem communism only works properly in theory.
but couldnt governments work to get everyone proper healthcare for no charge, and the same with education with capitalism?

Are you taking over? Or are you taking orders?
Are you going backwards? Or are you going forwards?

Communism works in theory, not in real life. Ironically this is because of capitalisms influence on the communist leader :lol:

i see what you guys are saying and i agree but i guess i should have put in theory which is a better system. and yeah a capitalist gov. could give everyone free(or atleast cheaper) healthcare and educations.

hell my doctor bill for my finger was $2000.

Exactly, and that is what happens with an entirely capitalist government. That's why Norway rocks. We've had a socialistic government for the last what, 60 years? (Of course, right sided parties do have a lot to say, but they generally don't get a lot of prime ministers etc.) Except for maybe 3-4 prime ministers... And, look at that! A big surprise! We're one of the richest countries in the world ;)

Norway is Socialist isn't it?

I'm pretty sure their health care is free just like Canada's, Britain's, France's, etc...

Good old UK....

Although saying that, when I "sprained" my ankle, the hospital just told me to go home. I couldn't walk, and when I did it, I felt and heard something snap. But they sent me home anyway....

I rested up for a couple of weeks, and could then limp.....

I can walk around fine now, but it still hurts like hell sometimes, and makes these weird ass grinding noises when I walk downstairs first thing in a morning.

Anyways, Communism fails in real life because it always ends up corrupt. The theory may be noble and all that, but in the real world, it just doesn't work.

Capitalism, whilst deplorable in many respects, is the mainstay for a balanced economic system.

Granted, other countries manage non-capitalist economies, but they are in the minority.
One of the advantages of horses that people sometimes point out, is that they very seldom explode. Almost never, in my experience, apart from that unfortunate occurence in the hot summer a few years ago.
