"Why do you have to quote others when you can quote yourself?" (Quote by me)
Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent.
Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent.
Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil?
Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God.
You see things, and you say 'why'. But i dream things that never were and i say 'why not'.

Technically a perfect world would be communist because everyone is equal but because the world is corrupt capitalism works more to a general extent

I am for Capitalism because I feel Communism just doesnt work. Just look at all the people from Cuba trying to make it into the United States. They want to make a real liveing and I don't blame them. In a Communist state you really can't do that. Granted you can have a liveing but you can't build your own finacial Empire like you can in a Capitalist society like America. If you want to be successful and I mean make it big in life then you won't be able to do that in a Communist society.

And for me I do want to make it to the top of the corpret ladder one day in art and make a good liveing out of it. You know have a nice home and a family to support. I don't want my Government telling me what to do and what to say or provideing with my needs when I know perfectly what I want out of life and that I know how to go about accomplishing that goal. Yes its great to be equel but where are you going with it? And plus I balieve in individual rights.

So Capitalism all the way for me.

Commusnism only doesn't work because humans, by instinct, want to keep the best things for themselves. For example when was the last time you put over half your money into a charity collection tin?

Thats whats nice about being in a capitalist socity. You have your own rights weather you want to do that or not. You don't have your Government telling or forceing you to do something that you don't want to do. If you want to do that then all power to ya! ya know. Its the forceing that I don't like. And sometimes maybe even most of the time they would kill you if you dident agree with the Government decision like Iraq.

Communist could only work if everyone were part of a collective and thought the same. It just doesnt work.

Small "c" communism is not a totalitarian dictatorship. However, man can never create a communist society. Greed and laziness would make it impossible. Capitalism works in some areas, but fail miserably in others. Plus, it has a strict class system... which is bad.

So I didn't vote for either of them. Capitalism is a double edged sword, and communism is impossible.

I would say communism, but like the responses communism just wouldn't work in our day's society.
