RE: Socialism versus Capitalism - Darkstrait - 05-06-2015 Capitalism has, repeatedly, thrown economies into chaos. The least you can say for communism is that the standard of living doesn't change much. The most you can say for it would be that it's the perfect, ideal, utopian society. (I don't say this, because I'm not a communist. I consider myself to be a democratic socialist, which is in no way the same thing.) Although both systems are flawed to some extent, capitalism is worse. RE: Socialism versus Capitalism - Ryccia - 05-06-2015 I consider it to be the entire opposite. I would rather reach for the top for me and my family. I don't want to help a complete stranger. I rather help my loved ones. And although it seems ideal, I want more. More in my life. The most I can get. A life I, not the community, can enjoy. For myself. I don't care if Im greedy. I want to live life to the fullest. Socialism versus Capitalism - ProfessorHenn - 05-06-2015 So you'd turn your back on morality and ethics?

And hey, I can help others. But that's my choice. Mine alone. Not the community's. I don't want to be a slave of the community. RE: Socialism versus Capitalism - Darkstrait - 05-06-2015 So you're justifying doing whatever it takes to get yourself to the top, even if it means letting others who are not so lucky starve? No. All people should be equal. It may not be great, but it's better than what you're describing.

Im not THAT extreme! I get to the top, but I wouldn't leave a starving person behind! But not all people should be equal. What about a lazy person who does not work? Do I have to share my food with that person? No! Socialism versus Capitalism - ProfessorHenn - 05-06-2015 All are equal. Sacrifices must be made with both sides, with capitalism, it is the abandonment of morals and the establishment of greed.

In communism, Im restricted. Restricted. I don't want to be restricted. I want to be free. And also, state your manifesto. What you believe in, etc. I'll see if I agree with you on something. Take your time, please. Socialism versus Capitalism - ProfessorHenn - 05-06-2015 You first, I need some time to refine it. Jasper Henn RE: Socialism versus Capitalism - Ryccia - 05-06-2015 For me, this is my manifesto:
Ask me my opinions on other things, if that does not clarify my beliefs |
