| VGPolyglot said: Isn't that exactly what capitalism is doing? Mass starvation, endless wars and environmental catastrophe are all occurring under capitalism. So I can understand when people say that communism doesn't work: obvious it would never be perfect. However, it seems like that it's implying that capitalism does work, and with all of the ongoing problems I would say that it does not. |
The point is what captialism. A true democracy, so not those 'democracies' with an authoritarian president like Zimbabwe or Venezuela or Iran, will almost never engage in a war against another democracy and if it does that, those wars will not be very bloody wars because of the popular opnion. The worst nightmare of a politician is to lose his voters. It's called the Democratic Peace Theory.
For the starvations, no democracy ever has underwend a famine, ofcourse my examples of Venezuela and Zimbabwe stand out because of their lack of freedom, both are centrelised socialist states with a killing bureacracy and corruption going through the roof. The theory of Amartya Sen is here a must read.
But you know.. communism, capitalism.. They are all systems of bending nature. Nature is unfair, nature doesn't care.
