Both in many way have true evils about them. We here in the USA have gone back in forth from a socialist/ capitalist for over 200 years. It has seen dark dark days for sure. Communism which in true never be actually truly acheived - has brought million and millions of deaths in histroy and even recent times. Communism failure was in USSR for sure but in truth it was a dictator ship in many ways. Similar to Cuba which is claiming to be Communistic but Casto is still dictating. North Korea as Communist country is as dark and evil it ways as any other place in time. China for all its might as a claimed Communist nation - Capitalism is working heavily behind the scenes - undermining its very core. There are many individuals that are gaining weath, creature comforts and freedom they would never have found in a true communist land.

To pic Communism even in it true form really goes about the individual. It goes against acheivement. The collective not the person make choices for you. Freedom is lost and liberty is destroyed because if what you do questions and disrupts the collective then it is removed.

Capitalism works and communism doesn't. It might make sense to wish for an even distribution of wealth, but it could never happen in such a way that keeps people productive.

Hands down, it would be Capitalism, where those who are willing to put forth the most effort are the best rewarded. Granted, that may not always be the case, but there is always the chance to get ahead. Communism, as socialism, or even the perfect case of communism, does not give that opportunity.

Communism! Because those million or so Ukranians didn't REALLY die, they just went to Siberia!!!!
I'm a big fan of Groucho Marx: "The Dictatorship of the Proletariat is the Most Ridiculous Thing I've Ever Seen!!!"

Taken to their idealistic realizations, I would prefer communism over capitalism. However, we have never seen a truly communist state.

God bless the free world! As you can see, The U.S.S.R. didn't win the war with their views on how to treat their people. Look at the numbers of people that died and sufferred under the communism rule. It's discraceful....

With Communism, it is man exploting man.
With Capitalism, it's the other way around.
