Which can solve poverty created by capitalism?

Question

Socialism? or Communism?

Answer 1

Capitalism is freedom and liberty. Socialism and communism (Marxism) are oppressive and dictatorships.

Capitalism encourages all to do their best. Marxism knocks down the best, reduces the wealth of all, and the country descends to oppressive poverty.

Capitalism is honest about poverty to find a means to help people. Marxism hides the misery and oppression of its people, and uses mindless slogans, and double speak to put up a false front.

I want to be free and live and die by my own efforts. If people are crippled and can not survive, I contribute to charities to help these people, for but for the grace of God go I.

Please remember, the USA is not capitalistic. Over 50% of our earnings are used for government purposes, much of it socialistic in nature. These programs did not come about due to the heart-felt sympathies of politicians. Each politician cynically used the emotions of the multitudes to get elected by promising them entitlements that they did not deserve, but could not refuse. It is easy to be Santa Claus, and hard to do the right thing, and be looked at as being hard and cold, when you are trying to help a nation grow in independence and responsibility.

Anyways, these are my thoughts.

Answer 2

Capitalism and the free market is what put a end to wide spread poverty. Socialism and Communism are the same thing. Both hold back and weaken the economics of any country and slow growth and will only make poverty the normal for all, not some thing that is due to the lack of self motivation witch is why any one is poor in a capitalistic country.

Answer 3

Trick question right?

Capitalism solves poverty. Poverty is created by socialism.

"Deutscher, Lenin, Trotsky and Marx all staked their claims on the belief that socialism would produce abundance and freedom. A terrible history has shown us irrefutably that it doesn’t. Socialism is really a theory of economic theft and what it produces is poverty. Socialist systems are unable to even keep pace with the technological development necessary to sustain a modern economy. Moreover, they are fundamentally incompatible with human liberty."

- David Horowitz

Answer 5

There is poverty in any system. At least in capitalism you can get out of it whereas with the others, you are mired down in it.
Communism and socialism are great ideas until you add one little thing to the equation.....human nature.

Answer 6

capitalism did NOT create poverty...poverty is in all nations and all forms of government...but in capitalism there are more opportunities for the poor if they try hard...less unemployment..etc...besides if you think socialism is the answer why are many young Europeans protesting to have a capitalistic society rather than socialistic...China's gap between the rich and the poor is 100 times greater than our own...people in the cities can make about $100 or + a day while people in the countryside make $100 or - a month...if you want to help poor people fine...but don't spread the lies about capitalism...

Answer 7

Democracy in the workplace (call it what you want - democratic socialism, council communism, anarcho-syndicalism). If the employees of a company decide to assume democratic control over it, then the government should not intervene to prevent them. In this way, people that choose democracy can live it, and people who don't like democracy can continue to live under the dictatorship of traditional corporate structures.

It's probably more likely that people will choose democracy. Big shareholders will no longer be getting big pay outs for doing next to nothing. CEOs will have to justify their big salaries to the rest of the people in the company (assuming they still want someone with the title of CEO).

Corporate democracy won't guarantee that everyone will have equal pay, but it would probably be more equal than it is now. As the gap between rich and poor decreases, the market for luxury goods will decrease, resulting in more resources available to produce goods and services for everyone else - resulting in greater supply and lower prices in non-luxury goods. People will no longer have to work as hard to buy the things necessary to survive because more of it will be available.

Answer 8

Depends what is meant by the labels.Poverty could be solved in a capitalistic society if there were some social safety nets like we have in Europe.A global minimum wage would be a good beginning.And debt relief for the developing countries.Labels are only harmful here.

Answer 9

Neither Socialism and Communism can solve poverty, but they can lessen the number of poor by killing them by the millions.
However, all people become poor under both systems. They can't kill everyone.
