Capitalism 2

Capitalism is no worse or better then Communism- both systems create unequal social environments for the common person. Capitalism in the USA is the extreme- where even health care is sorted out based on profit- how horrible! The value of any society is how they treat citizens needs- with such basics as health care- in the USA? Nope- Having universal/affordable health care is not socialist- its humane and decent. One has to remember that the USA was the last representative democracy to have unemployment insurance, social security and Medicare for the disabled and elderly. The so called greatest nation on earth rewards the strong, the aggressive and the slimy- but leaves the weaker on the highway like road kill.

Capitalism and Communism are the same. I am sorry, but welcome to Earth, alien from Pluto. In the ninety years since Lenin seized power in Russia, Communism killed over 100,000,000 people. I don't think that capitalism came close. When you leave the the Terran neighborhood, please pass the word.

Ghengis no capitalism does either evil things-like polluting the planet so that greedy oil companies and a plethora pf other corporate monsters can destroy and extract from the planet- yup the commies- those evil commies- but with global warming you will see more fatalities then that.And capitalism is largely responsible for that.....
