Quote from: Lincoln on February 02, 2004, 01:00:22 PMSome are good, some are bad. If Communism ran occordingly to the actual theory it would be the greatest thing in the world but unfortunately people are too greedy.Yeah. And people who consider capatilism a success aren't looking at it from other people's perspective. If you are poor, or your business has just been closed down because Wal-Mart moved in next to you... or if your country has just been invaded by another country who wants to privatize your natural resources; then capatalism isn't so great. I think everyone should have a food and shelter. Capatalism can't gaurantee that. Capatalism forces expensive items to be nessecities that weren't ever nessecities before; because the technology is controlling us... Rather than us controlling the technology.

Quote from: Krayzie-Eyez Killah on February 03, 2004, 09:35:12 AMCommunism won't work because it places the "Group" needs above the individuals needs. That's inherently wrong and a VERY misguided view about how people work.Very true. If people could work that way society would be perfect, but it will never happen.

That's inherently wrong and a VERY misguided view about how people work.Very true. If people could work that way society would be perfect, but it will never happen.The way I look at it is this: If you say that the "group needs" are more important than an "individuals needs", dosen't that mean that some people's rights are more imporant than others? That's a fucked up way of thinking. It amazes me that people will preach all day about equal rights, and then go on to tell people about how great communism is.
Like you said about capitalism, it's all about how you were brought up to believe in it. If you were brought up hearing "fucking commies" or "damn capitalists" your going to hold onto some of that view.
I dont think either is more natural than the other.
It's ignorant for people to try to defend something that failed so horrbily.
people should be allowed to live their lives however they wish BUT only as long as they dont impose their will on others
