I am not here to defend communism which is a dictatorship that owns all business and industry. A failure.
Socialism is no longer looked at as USSR communism since it was discovered that there was absolutely no democracy involved. After World War II socialism has meant fairc capitalismwith a good safety net and always democratic, except in Cold War conservative propaganda more and more.
Today socialism has given us all modern countries except the United States,and probably the final solution to man's government problems. When we get Healthcare we will be socialist, barely...."We are all socialists now!"--Finland prime minister when Obamacare passed.
The ONLY reason you are here is to promote and defend Communism.
That's ridiculous, communism is a dictatorship--socialism is always democratic, just like in every modern Nation but us. Welcome to the 21st century.
Derp.
You should take an introductory history class. I'm sure there is night school near you that offers remedial courses.
Capitalism - the means of production rests in the hands of the people. The role of government is to settle disputes and torts using a system of justices, typically courts.
Socialism - the means of production is entirely controlled by government. The state or king may and usually does appoint overseers for various lands and industries. (Feudalism differs from other socialism only in that is agrarian in nature). The state gives to people as the state sees fit. All assets including the people are the property of the rulers.
Communism - There is no government. This is a Utopian society where all things are open to all. Production is done because people want to produce. Marx based much of his ideal of Communism on descriptions of Aborigine Tribal structure by Charles Darwin. What Marx failed to grasp or mention is that the lives of the Aborigines were short and brutal. That the tribes existed in a perpetual state of near starvation. The fairy tale of communism has never existed, nor will it ever exist.
