If there's 100 starving people and 100 free sandwiches are available, capitalism would be 1 person having 99 sandwiches while 99 people shared the las

the last sandwich. Communism is simply when 100 people share 100 sandwiches. It really is that simple.

No. Sadly it isnt.. As much as I jump on rampant Capitalism, it is the thing that makes 100 sandwiches possible. Communism would produce 70 sandwiches and deliver half of them to the wrong place a day late. The real answer is a balance of the two..And the rich guy will get a slightly smaller sandwich, because he was already overweight..😷

@whowasthatmaskedman that’s just American propaganda

@Ferise1 No.. Its human nature. Gordon Gekko was right. "Greed works". But it has to come with more education for all. It is cheaper to provide those less fortunate with their basic needs, than it is to protect yourselves from them when they come to take it. Health care is cheaper if you maintain everyones health in the first place.Educating everyone provides a better quality workforce and a thriving working and middle class as consumers. (Something China gets but America fails to.) And having the rich contribute in tax makes everyone richer long term. Not just a few in the short term..If everyone understood that, there wouldnt be half the problems America faces more than any other country.😷

@whowasthatmaskedman great. As success depends on greed.🙄 I think Russia might not even be successful on capitalism because of the scars resources.
America succeeded because they have plenty of new resources and hundreds of years of free labour.

@Ferise1 True. So far as it goes.. Slavery is a burden America will always carry as long as their are people. And its legacy is the racial problems they have now.. And thats always going to hold everyone back. The African Americans in a very obnvious way. But everyone else by reducing the potential of the whole country by the cost of everything from poverty, to law enforcement and security.. And who has the biggest drug problem? These arent just black or Hispanic issues. These are everyones problem. Because of the costs..😷
