[citation][nom]chaohsiangchen[/nom]Wrong, I am plainly explaining what capitalism and what communism are respectively. And, yes, communism is about class warfare. Karl Marx wrote in his words (class struggle), in On Capitalism as well as Communist Manifesto. Capitalism is not without its flaw. One major flaw of purest form of capitalism is lack of foresight on how losers in economic games can cause so much trouble. Just like Democracy, capitalism isn't perfect, but just better than any other model that has been tried. The one of the direct results of communist catastrophe is Chinese commies are still putting censorship to Chinese dissidents, FLG, Free Tibet and other things they don't like. Generally speaking, the freedom of speech is still better than the day of true communism, when even slightest oral discontent will make your way into Laogai camp. Commies are now on the defensive in all front. They can no longer arrest people for oral discontent. They have no power to dictate how people should think anymore. That's just how economic freedom has changed China in the past 30 years, and you haven't seen the real change yet. This is actually a living model of how economic freedom will eventually leads to political freedom.[/citation]
My biggest advice to you is that you try to more objectively view the 2 topics (Capitalism and Communism) as you seem be very polarized in your view of the 2 systems. I wholeheartedly agree with you that Capitalism has been far more successful in practice than Communism but you seem to think of Communism as such an evil effort. Try to think of it as another religion, there are plenty of awful events that have occurred due to individuals claiming to act on behalf of their faith but really, its not what their faith is about. The most prevalent faiths all have honourable intentions as their "model" but in practicing that "model" certain individuals have committed acts outside of it. For example, military oppression isn't part of the Jewish faith, suicide bombing isn't part of the Muslim faith, the Puritans acts weren't part of the Christian faith, etc. Communism falls around the same principal, its not something that was intended to oppress people but to protect them against the potential injustices under other economic models (mainly Capitalism), it was meant to be an answer to it. Is it? Of course not but its goals are for the people, not the benefit of politicians (as it is in practice).
