I'm not even going to start. I've done this hundreds of times and been proven right. It just takes too much effort.

When you hear "communism doesn't work"; try to think of how a system "works" then look at all systems and you realise it doesn't work as much as everything else.

And having read several books on Cuba: it works quite well to be honest.

Entirely true. However, communism not working usually results in far more deaths and general human misery than most other systems not working.

Not really. Pure capitalism working will inevitably lead to the exploitation of some by others. The world as a whole is capitalist, and look at the exploitation and death that's come from that. Look at all the deaths in Iraq because Bush wanted to secure the oil wells for his buddies in the oil business. Look at the poverty and famine in Africa. Look at the exploitation of south-east Asia...

First of all, famine is usually a natural disaster, so the blame for the cannot be laid wholey at mankind's door.

Secondly, the majority of problems can be linked to the capitalist world because the communist world imploded just under 20 years ago and is therefore in less of a position to cause problems.

Not if making them involved Boohistory asking them nicely.

No one would refuse that.

I would.

That's because you're an evil capitlist.

Still wrecks your point.

Not really. Because you're not a normal person. You're the antithesis of Boo.

Capitalism and Communism kill people in equal numbers. It's just we aren't communist so this country would talk more about how many they have killed than talk about how many we have killed.

Rubbish, at least half the country's press is dedicated to reminding us how bad we've all been. They're literally selling guilt. :P
