I mean doesn't it? It's one of the only systems where you control your own success.

   

alternative to my thread... Way to go! Its good up to a point. But when you got the super rich sitting behind a desk play virtual golf and getting paid for it, and then you have newfie coal miners making 5 cents o pound, you ought to find that rather odd. Cause the newfie is working his ass off and hardly getting paid for it, then you have the corperate executive officer of the company the newfie works for reaping all the rewards, doing nothing besides getting fat. Thats rather rediculous.

   

no in-between vote either eh? aka progressive scocialism?

   

I never thought the world could be so black and white...... only two choices here. We know which country this poll came from......

   

Don't worry about it. Feel free to make another post with more options.

   

I think that communisim is a better idea, it's just that the Soviets took it too far. I think that if countries like Cuba or Grenada weren't shut down by the US, they would have become fine alternative's to capitolisim. The vision and talent was all there, we jsut never got to see the results.

   

the one I said earlier. could also call it semi-scocialism. Or scocial capitalism...

   

You stupid fag, communism has been proven to not work. Why did the Soviets fall to us then? Ya. Again meet me in the breadlines comrade eh?
Now Capitalism is the finest idea to ever touch mankind. In its truest purest form its even better.

   

Communism and Socialism on paper work very well. But political leaders are almost never able to implement it perfectly.

   

Communisim is based on the fact that they have the time to develop. The US didn't give them this time, so communisim failed in the USSR and China. Furthermore, the Communist countries expanded to fast, which is why their econamy collapsed. Explain how that could happen to Cuba, and tiny island? Capitolisim is all about shitting on the little guy.

   

It's not worth it to have years of poverty and mass murder so that these communist nations can have time to work up to some Utopia (which will never be reached anyway.)

   

Greed is good because it works. When a country kills the rich and sucessful people in a country with taxes there goes the brain drain. All the great thinkers and scienctists leave. Why do all the great thinkers come to usa .....because they will be rewarded for thinking a reaching the most they can reach. Its positive reinforcement. If everyone makes the same amount why worker harder thean comrade? America say you work harder? well you make more than, I will reward you harder worker. simple

   

ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. You crack me up.

Capitolism is in no way pure. It brings out the worst in all of us. soviets never did fall to you. they fell to their oppressed people. The people were oppressed by dictators using communism as a tool, not by communism itself. when a person is murdered by another person, and the weapon is a gun, did the gun commit the murder? no, it was in no control over how it was used, the person using it was in contol of how it was used, so they are the ones charged with murder. Same thing happened to communism, it was used by the wrong people, for the wrong reasons. If it was used in a democratic scociety, I think it might actually work.

   

Incentives are key. Is a mule going to till a field for you? Dangle a carrot in front of him and he will.

   

I'm not saying that the USSR was perfect. FAR FROM IT! I'm saying the expanded far to fast for their own good and their Econamy was stretched too thin. This type of thing would never happen with Cuba, it could have been great! Utopian-esque, closer then anything the US has achieved. But the good ol' US of A wouldn't stand for that, now would they?
