    That's because Roger Moore is a provocator - his goal is to incite debate, argument, and recieve lots of flak in the process. In conclusion, the man's an arse. A fat one, too.

    The trick is to find the sytem which is least broken.
    You see, Capitalism is an economical method, which works best under democracy. Communism is more than that - it engulfs a lot of areas, and it talks a lot about how a government should work, how it shouldn't, the values, etc... Socialism, on the other hand, is the equivelant (yet rival) of Capitalism. It doesn't talk much about the goverment system itself - but rather, economic resolutions and stuff like that. Many of those conclusions make sense, at least to me.

    Communism, however, is extremely faulty, especially when attempted on very large groups in the format of country-ruling. Time and again it has proven itself to be impossible. The largest group you could have Communism work with is a few hundreds at the most, and they'd have to be very devoted to a certain cause, be willing to sacrifice much for things to work, and most importantly - to know one another. That's ים' the Kibbutzim worked here for a lengthy period of time, untill even they evolved and grew up, their members yearning for more, more money, more freedom, to advance beyond what the Communist system allowed them. To have their own private posssesion (the old 'it's my car - no it's ours' atgument, etc), to have a bigger house, to give their children better or different education, and generally to be independant and not always depend on one another.

    Solidarity is very impoprtant. Even in a Capitalistic country, people shouldn't forget about one another. A powerful man can help many others, change the way the country runs, the way the world works. I still believe the strength of humanity is personal quality, not mob-mentallity.
