Communism or Capitalism

Who cares for a longer life, the moment you come to the world your life is fixed, no one can change it so if for example it's fixed to 20, no matter when you are born or where you are born, you will die after 20 years (my thinking!).

Communism with very small private sector(mainly in the agroculture)

         I still remember the cold war and everything that went with it-     Capitalism.

         I have a tape of Animal Farm, whenever I questioned capitalism I'd plug it in.

whenever communists question communism they get a one way ticket to Siberia

non refundable...

What do you mean? Would that imply social programs and the like?

Communist, of course.

Don't compare the USA (rich imperialists who fleece the world, who made vast profits from two world wars) to USSR (poor country, devastated in two world wars). Let's make a sensible comparison instead.

We have the ideal situation: same f**king country under capitalist and communist regimes. Let's compare Russian Federation during Soviet times and Russia today. 15 years after, they are still at 70% of their Soviet era pro capita GDP.

Lies. But yeah, victors write the history. In fact there were no Siberian prison camps in the USSR after Stalin. They were opened by capitalists in the first place, anyway, under Tsars.

Did you know that in the 1980s, you were 1.5 times more likely to go to the prison in the US than in the USSR. Who was the real police state?

Do you know which country today has the largest percentage of its population in jail? Yes, you are right!

US is indeed world's number one police state:

Half of the world's prison population of about nine million is held in the US, China or Russia.

Prison rates in the US are the world's highest, at 724 people per 100,000. In Russia the rate is 581.

At 145 per 100,000, the imprisonment rate of England and Wales is at about the midpoint worldwide.

UK is European leader in jailing its population, but an American citizen is 5 times more likely to be imprisoned. Wow. That's impressive.

Land of the free, right...

The US has nearly 6.9 million people - roughly 3.2% of the adult population - in prison or on probation or parole, a Justice Department report reveals.

Of course they are all poor people, or niggers, so who cares?  

Originally posted by barish Class distinction, social injustice... I believe these are the result of the Capitalist economy. Turkey was never a Socialist country, but its economy was planned according to statist principles. Statism was abandoned here in '50s. All capital owners invest their money in Istanbul, so Eastern provinces remain poor. Uneducated and poor people of Eastern Turkey immigrate to big cities. Since they don't have the qualities for a stable job, they become criminals to survive. Our social structure will collapse if we don't leave free market policy in economics. So... Capitalism

If your country adopted communism you would all become uneducated, poor people.  Communism doesn't help less fortunate members of society, it brings down everyone else making everyone into poor unfortunate people (I guess they are somewhat equal, equally poor).  Regarding these people that you speak of that do not have the qualities for a "stable job".  Do you really think they would become educated/productive members of society under communism?  I can assure you that they would not, they would continue to be criminals (people rarely change).  Perhaps if you educated them though, they would become better smarter criminals, though I don't see how that benefits anyone.

Nothing unites people more than a common enemy.
