Why does communism have a bad stigma when it assumes humans are altruistic, whereas capitalism assumes greed?

Answer 1

"A democracy is always temporary in nature; it simply cannot exist as a permanent form of government. A democracy will continue to exist up until the time that voters discover that they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates who promise the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that every democracy will finally collapse due to loose fiscal policy, which is always followed by a dictatorship."

"The average age of the worlds greatest civilizations from the beginning of history, has been about 200 years. During those 200 years, these nations always progressed through the following sequence:

From Bondage to spiritual faith;
From spiritual faith to great courage;
From courage to liberty;
From liberty to abundance;
From abundance to complacency;
From complacency to apathy;
From apathy to dependence;
From dependence back into bondage."

Answer 2

Because communism is built on a lie. Capitalism is a vague term, since everyone, including the Communists use capital.

The are two forms of capitalism: Monopolistic Capitalism and Free Enterprise Capitalism. Communism is a form of Monopolistic Capitalism since all capital is owned and controlled by the state, or rather the individuals who contro the state.

The Free Enterprise system is based on the idea that people do what they perceive to be in their own best interest. Even in totalitarian systems, like Communism, the free market exists. It is called the Black Market.

Civilized people with religious values do best in the Free Market. They realize that they, as individuals, have an obligation to take care of those in need. That is the system that our Republic was founded on.

Liberals think that the state is responsible for the welfare of the poor. This results in corruption, more and more of the poor, as they gain entitlements.

Answer 3

Communism, in reality, does not view humans as altruistic, because it views the entrepreneurs and business owners as evil oppressors who need to be annihilated and have their property forcibly taken from them and distributed to others.

In Capitalism, the successful entrepreneur is viewed as a person who is able to provide what is most needed for the people, in the most convenient, efficient, inexpensive, and highest-quality way, and thus they are rewarded the most in the system.

Completely unrestrained economic behavior is, of course, a terrible idea. Monopolistic companies who use their power to annihilate potential competition must be stopped. However, in general, a capitalistic philosophy results in a greater standard of living, and meets the needs of all of the people the most. America's poor have access to so much more aid than the starving in communist China did.

Answer 4

Communism is not usually free, it is dictatorial or at the very least autocratic under a capitalist system it is normally a free nation or at least it is some what democratic. under communism everyone is supposed to share the same, (that doesn't happen) under a capitalist system you get what you earn. The harder you work the more you have. Have you been listening to some one Else's demagoguery, the discription of capitalism, "assumes greed?" Does that mean that under communism it assumes lazzyness? Or just unwillingness?

Answer 5

communism fails because it is unrealistic, and it doesn't have to be altruistic. capitalism doesn't have to be greedy, and, in econ, we call it self-interested. only when people are self-interested, they will be motivated to maximize their utility, satisfaction. that is the major reason we have property rights to stimulate innovation, investment, and education. In communism, no property rights but centralized power employed by the selfishness of a small group of ppl. That is why communism fails.

Answer 6

faith is approximately blindly believing something that can't be shown. we can tutor there is not any Heaven and Hell, in this measurement, and our planet revolves around the sunlight. base line, there has on no account been something to assert Gods exist, and technology disproving ninety 9% of non secular ideals has for sure not made an stunning adequate effect on society. there is not any thank you to tell if Gods are alive, lifeless, immortal, or nicely in the event that they even existed. i think of the main rational rationalization is the huge Bang concept, observed with Evolution. we can tutor the familiar public of those theories.

Answer 7

Communism has a bad stigma because it does not work and relies too much on executing dissidents or shipping them off to forced labor camps.

Answer 8

Neo-classical Economics assumes that, on average, people are rational and self-interested. I would not necessarily equate this to greed.

Answer 9

At the top, they're all on the same side and they're not academics.
