Communism or Capitalism

First of all greed is not necessarily wrong. One is greedy when they help another person partially because they get a good feeling from it. You are being greedy in the first place to want communism as the system of government in countries. I am being greedy to want capitalism as the form of government in countries.

Material Hierarchy cannot be destroyed.

(1)It�s against hierarchy and materialistic hierarchy. Hierarchy is a huge element in society. When you�re a tiny tot you will inevitably notice that your parents and older siblings have access to certain tangible goods, which you are not allowed. You also notice that daddy and mummy can order you around. You immediately make a link between power and materialism. And that material objects often contain status symbolism. Communism curtails your ability to expand your material arsenal. If the neighbour next door to you has the same amount of goods as you then who has higher status. Him/She or you? Since communist countries can�t stop their baby citizens from experiencing this they end up implanting this link between material wealth and status. When the baby grows up to be an adult the link is still there but now you cant have any more then anyone else. Now, because the link is still apparent those communist citizens who achieve government office cant help becoming corrupt. Communism is like an apple with a worm inside that slowly eats its way down to the core.

(2) Lack of proper competition

Communism cannot create internal economic competition. As there are thresholds to how much money it�s citizens are allowed to make. The only way for communist governments to foster and nurture this necessary economic competition is to use another country as the competitor. Sadly this may produce racism amongst communist citizens towards their nation competitor. Capitalism Nations have often been used as this economic rival.

(3) Too powerful corporation.

Communism creates a government business that can exploit unethically and charge unfair high amounts to its customers because it has no business competitor.

(4) No economic safety net.

Unlike capitalism when there is an economic depression there is few citizen willing to help the poorer who would be in the most dire of situations of all the income levels, why because everyone in communism supposedly has the same affluence level. While in capitalism if there is an economic slide the rich wont suffer as much as the poor and will be able to help the poor by donating their money. It is the rich who act as the economic safety net. If communism doesn�t have this rich class they have no economic safety net. This system was evident during the potatoes blight in Ireland where many of the wealthy former British families who have title of lord acted like the walking stick for the suffering poor.

And second of all, most of you think communism is bad because you have been swayed by the American propaganda machine.

Clearly I have rational reasons to prefer capitalism to communism.

Capitalism is the superior system at being helpful to its citizens. Communism is an evil disguised as a socialist movement. Communism has manufactured a recurring beat of dictators in denial. And as someone ( not myself) previously wrote communism is a religion, it� leaders are made divine.
