There's always the argument that communism can't succeed until capitalism is destroyed but it looks like that theory isn't going to be tested soon. Unenlightened despotism is on the rise all over the place. |
Here's a man who knows what he's talking about.
Looking over these forums, I saw a couple people who seem to fall into the unenlightened despotism camp themselves.
People who advocate unfettered capitalism don't seem to realize that that doesn't work either. It's called fascism, and it has never fared any better than communism. The way we've worked out our societies, we're going to require both, because if all we focus on is the economics, very few people will do well while the masses suffer (which always ends bad for the fat cats). Conversely, like I said earlyer, human nature will always prevent communism from working.
