@ Dagne,
I agree with you after many arques,
Communism start as an idea, revolt or occupation, and ended as a conservative system of a nomen class, the communist party, wich at its late became a Dictatorship.
the problem was that the party divide the 'milk' and 'fat' equal, but never the meat which was sold in black markets.
they learn the people that they have to live with an equal glass of milk, so everybody should be thankfull, but nobody was willing to do search, to develop, to produce,
that why even today the 'mother' of communism Russia stayed far behind industrial and technological, while all brilliant minds 'eascape' west.
The 'german minds' at the times of WW2 escape Nazis or taken by USA and Russia, they manage to raise the lavel of technology to both,
I remember Russia was the first who travel to space, etc etc, but what after 65 70's 80's
East Europe has fine internet due to the 'weighth' that communists gave to communication's from the times of 'cold war'
but after that? so military/industrial developement was done to show their abilitties, but the ship sunk, cause the party become a class, and slowly the rulling class until it became dictatorship.
'Let them closed, let them hungry, give a good meal every since and then, give them a fantastic show/event , they are quiet'
on the other hand Capitalism,
Capitalism is old, based in a free economy where merchantise follows the needs, where merchants can be rich or broke in one day,
but after WW2 Europe followed Caynes logic, we build state and national corporations with our taxes
search many according our needs, we progress daily living, and we produce 'rich or capital' from our hard working hours and searches,
and suddenly we decide to deposit our rich in tanks named banks, and took pappers
and we study the free system in universities from the times of Adam Smith but very hard after 1950's and we manage to create the monsters,
The Bankers, The Corporation,
which from a national treasure become international terror.
we destroy countries to feed the monsters, we kill people so us the monsters survive,
we even sold our national treasures like water, electricity, health, to the monsters.
for those who do not understand,
it is an example from India, in an valley where water was enough, a refreshment company open a factory to use the water, giving some jobs,
they put huge pumps draining major quantities of water, living almost no surface water, and very deep level in wells
the result was, bottled refreshment to cost cheaper than a glass of fresh clean water
that is capitalism
capitalism survive longer than communism due to 'mercenairies', the ones who kill, beat, use chemicals when i want to protest,
but capitalism is a bubble, it can easily 'boom' and needs years of 'caynes' to rebuild it.
PS
All I want to say is that in every system, we must work, we must protest, and we must ask for fair justice, and goverments for the people, not them shelves (Communism nomenclattura) neither for corporations/banks (capitalism's monsters)
