    I know we probably have had a debate about this before. I personally believe Capatalism is a better solution to society.

    Every thread ever on this site is a small proxy debate about this. Also can their be a neither option?

    Without che and without kali this might not turn out in another drama threat.

    Neither in their purest form is realistic nor achievable, nor would it be good in my opinion. A healthy mix of both, which we can find to varrious degrees in social democracies, is probably in the current time the best way to go.

    No nation ever reached a pure form of communism, but all that "tried" ended in dictatorical regimes.
    A purely capitalistic nation does not exist either but a rule of big corporations, with a decline of peoples power would proably result in it. Also not worth achieving.

    Actually having Capatalism could lead to the laborers of the Capital getting their own capital and in turn becoming rich. Of course not everyone will get a capital but the laborers can become rich off of working multiple Capital.

    Communism already took the lead. I can't say I'm surprised.

    Most people on this forum are Commies but in the real world the Communist countries today are more Capatalist than the US

    I can't agree with you even if I wanted to. I like to keep my neutrality. I'm basically Switzerland here and I love it.

    Then they aren't communist. I don't consider those you are talking about to be communist even if they claim to be. Personal greed at the expense of others is not a good option to me.

    Well I vastly prefer Capitalism. That being said that doesn't mean Communism doesn't work. There are nations that need Communism and nations that need Capitalism. If the US was Communist things would fail fast. However if the USSR has been Capitalist things would have failed sooner. The point is these are both smart and respected forms of Government that are efficient should they be implemented in the ideal climate.

    It would fail in the US (right now) because the US has been brainwashed through games and media for a long time to see communism as the most evil thing ever.

    I could see a slow acceptance of socialism perhaps, people are sick of the current system and maybe with enough time (decades) and energy America could become socialist. It's not the dirty, evil word it was 20 years ago. It's still a long shot of course.

    We are actually in between socialism and capitalism.

    Right I meant a shift towards socialism over capitalism.
