What is more evil capitalism or communism?

Answer 1

Capitalism is more evil... as it teaches ppl from birth that their entire worth evolves around 'self'. We see this everyday with our idolizing and rewarding the rich, most of whom inherited this wealth. The ppl who work just as hard all day long as janitors or store clerks are belittled.

We reward the Donald Trumps, the Oprah Winfreys, the football stars, etc... If you live in a mobile home, you are considered trash.

Communism evolves around community where you are valued by how much you put into your community and not by how much more you have than someone else.

Answer 2

You mention two economic systems with no inherent evil in either.

Both need a good system of government management to run well. Both can be run to deprive the majority of citizens of wealth and concentrate it at a top level, or be run to provide a benefit across the board. Without good management and controls, both can grind to a halt.

The greatest flaw in communism is the need to plan for market demand - since the market is not free to reward those who provide the most desired products.

The greatest flaw in capitalism is the tendency of success to breed monopoly - and once competition is crushed - the markets do not provide benefit to the producer who fulfills need, but to the only producer running.

Answer 3

Communism gives you Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot...and Capitalism gives you the greatest achievements of the History of the world in 230 years of the most freedom the world has ever been witness to in an experimental government.

Hmmm...

The fact that you have to ask that question makes me know for a fact that the brainwashing of the communist elites has taken hold in full.

Without Capitalism the United States would have never risen as it did...we would not have become the envy of the world. We would not be the caretakers of the world. We would not be the lone superpower fighting off the parasitic Chinese if it weren't for Capitalism.

To ask the question presupposes that life under Capitalism...a life of freedom and merit and responsibility is just as bad if not possibly worse than the evil of Stalin's Purges and Mao's Cultural Revolutions and Polpots wholesale slaughters...

What is wrong with everyone? Am I the only sane one left?

Answer 4

Looking at the COLD war, Iraq, rise of fundamentalism, Afghanistan, terrorism, global warming, ACHIEVEMENTS of George Bush...
Well, Capitalism is far worse than Communism can become.

capitalism - unequality. there are rich and there are poor. you work hard, you gain lots. you can actually be better than some slacker.

communism - equality. there are equal. no rich, no poor. that means whatever you do, you won't be better than anybody, even the slackers. you get what you get and it is final.
