1. It worked in some countries. But capitalism in quite some more countries.

    The system ain't the problem. Greed is. We are all greedy in one way or the other. What do we expect? To have it better each year? Some days are better than others.
  2. All those people who prostested, here in Holland, are or not smart enough to get a good job or to lazy to get a job. It really irritates me.
  3. Communism light, aka socialism can work.


  4. I think the reality is that pretty much any system can work, as long as everyone works together and everyone keeps heading in the same direction. Both of which dont happen very often or for very long.
  5. Originally posted by Mr_TrekI saw one of the protests. They had banners in support of "The Communist Worker Party of Iran".

    Communism, DOES NOT WORK.


    Communism does not work and capitalism obviously does not work too.

    Yeah, greed is the problem, but it's the system that allows that greed and has no intentions to stop it.

    I saw all kinds of banners, because in this situation people from both left and right wing are protesting together.

    How do you stop greed? We cant / shouldnt condition people in a way the system sees fit.

    Maybe in your country this is happening, but definitely not here in the US. It's the left protesting on Wall Street.

    100.000 in Rome, 350.000 in Madrid, even 10.000 in Zagreb where I attended the protest in support of Wall Street protest. There were more than 750 protests around the world on 15. october. Yeah, that's very little.


    Maybe overseas, but in America? Not so much.
  11. Any system can get ruined when douchebags, start spending money they don't have, on things they don't need to impress other douchebags that they don't even like.


  12. Any system requiring you to be dependent on the government for your every need, and desire is an instant failure.
