Like I said, harpercons, show us one country where communism has succeeded. If you cannot show us then your argument is moot and your claims about it are meaningless.
Although capitalism causes income gaps and poverty, at least it allows for soup kitchens and charity. People in Cuba and any other place that claims to be communist are SOL and they have to provide for themselves and poverty is vastly more widespread than in capitalist countries.


CHINA!
and Cuba which has health and education superior to any capitalist country despite the brutal blockade imposed by American capital.Your standard of standard of living is standard western BS. Show us the one western democracy that does not face bankruptcy at this very minute. The charity of the west is called death by starvation and destitution.

Innovation is fueled by money. Lack of innovation is fueled by money. Were money no object, literally, innovation would be fueled by need.

How is that a good thing that innovation is fueled by money? You're right, that's why all kinds of stupid **** is invented in capitalism to extract profits from mindless consumer bots.

You're accurate. Just compare Cuba to a country not too far, Haiti, one of which as succumbed to the slavery of capitalist rule.

By contrast, the only thing communism can eradicate is itself.
Hows that? Compared to capitalism with its inherent shaky markets prone to collapses, are you being intentionally ironic?

Look who the west demonizes Walter. The greed of the west could not control itself and took the Chinese bait of cheap labour and destroyed it's industrial base in doing so now it may not be able to extract itself from the economic misery that capitalist greed imposed upon its masses. And I have every reason to believe that the leaders of the west simply do not care about its ultimate end.

The murder weapon will be found to be "deregulation"and the phoney "level playing field".
. And you did it to us Walter.

And the posing poster prints that while capitalism crashes down arround his ears.


And who has been helping the Hatians all these years with thier corrupt NGOs and totally fake sympathy and aid?

Game Over: Chevron's RICO Case Spectacularly Implodes as Corrupt Ex-Judge Admits to Making It Up in Exchange for Chevron Payoff


Faced with a likely multi-billion dollar verdict against it for deliberate pollution of the Ecuadorian Amazon, in 2010 Chevron began fabricating an elaborate story of bribery, corruption and ghostwriting to strike back. It claimed everyone and everything against it was part of a scheme – the evidence, the contamination, the Ecuadorian villagers, all the environmental and human rights organizations – everyone. The company spent millions to concoct its cover story. There was only one big problem: it all hinges upon the testimony of a completely non-credible witness who has now admitted on the stand that he lied about it in exchange for payments from Chevron.

lol The aristocracy in China is doing fine. The working class, not nearly as well. And the lower classes? 82,000,000 people China are living in poverty and making less than ¥5 per day. That is 6% of the TOTAL population. I admit is has dropped, but that is still pretty pathetic of a "success". And China has decided it does not think pure communism is the answer anyways.
Cuba does have a great healthcare system. But Extreme Poverty in Cuba - Welfare in a Broke Country
Nope. Communism does not work.

Cuba's domestic policies are unsustainable... that is why they need the US for a bailout.

Yabut, they are the Peoples policy and therefore perfectly balanced, fair and equal to all.

Just ask Castro, he'll tell you that each and every Cuban loves the policies and that there are no threats of imprisonment or death or nuttin' like that 'cause the People wouldn't allow any such policy like that to exist

No, merely observing that most of the countries that professed communism now practice a capitalist-socialist mixed economy, and even those that still profess communism are allowing increasing capitalist "exceptions." About the only purely "communist" country left on the planet is the DPRK.

lolol, probably because when communism was being attempted it was attacked by both capitalists and fascists alike... and there are no such thing as a mixed socialist/capitalist economy. also the dprk isn't communist in the slightest.
