Where the hell is communism recieving international support?

And capitalism IS being distorted in some ways.

According to Max Weber, he presented an opposing theory to Marx so you should like him Cas, the spirit of capitalism is that instead of people working for consumption, they work for profit. And unlike consumption, where you stop or slow down when your full, profit has no 'full'. So when people have maxmisied their profit in the rules of the game that they set out, they start to bend and break them because they seek further profit.

So Capitalism is being distorted at one end to protect those who are already rich and to allow them to get even more rich, while it is being fully realised by the poor. They have no barriers to trade, or subsidies, safety regulations or even piffly things like human rights to stand in the way of capitalism.


Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.
Winston Churchill
