And are you saying that in communism you'd be able to go into a job without the necessary skills?
Shows how much you know about communism :rolleyes2 you can have what you desire.



I'd say I'm glad of a job where I make more money than almost everyone else in the land.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA yeah right with 10 cents a hour, in horrible conditions, 14 hours a day without any rest. Yeah i'm sure you'll LOVE your job when you experience it.



How communism works? Evidence so far suggests it works like 'Revolution -> new government -> dictatorship'. Come back when every attempt at the system hasn't led to cataclysmic failure and we'll talk.
Have you ever been to Cuba? Their living conditions are great, everyone has jobs, excellent education, and free health care. But you'll never hear and see that since your Goverment doesnt permit you to go there.


Most of the people I see in Britain and America are very well off. They've a house, a car or two, a tv or three, some videogame systems, a PC, clothes, food, yadda yadda yadda.
At the cost of other countries . Those countries stole from Latin America , South East Asia and africa what would you expect? They gotta do something to make their people feel great and not result into a Revolution.

The same is true of Australia, Japan, and Europe (Though socialist measures are putting us on course to be a second-world entity within two decades.).
Who the US? Your kidding right? You guys are becoming Fascist http://www.antiwar.com/roberts/?articleid=7556



If you measure wealth only as a comparison against the wealthiest, of course it will look bad. If you're talking on an international level,
It would look even worse compare the US to some country like Western Sahara or Congo.

well the fact is that not everyone started capitalism at the same time. See how India and China a decade ago were all about the sweatshops? Now they are among the fastest-growing economies on Earth.
They still are full of sweatshops genius thats how they became the fastest-growing economies in the world.

Why? Because you can't just click your fingers and solve your poblems, it takes work. They've put the work in; now they're up a level, able to talk about jobs better than manufacturing and resource harvesting.
Their in the same position they were in 10 years ago nothing has improved. All that money goes into the pockets of the Goverment and the Elites.

Edit: And it's largely socialist measures (such as protectionism) which are causing the harm to the third world anyway.
Yeah like how unemployment in Venezuela has decreased by 2% in just one year and 40% more kids are in school ever since Hugo Chavez stepped in as president.



Why should the weaker benefit from the work of the stronger?
Why not?
