Quote by: Soylent Green In fact you insist that communism comes up with a Utopian model while being happy to accept capitalism, warts and all. |
You seem to be missing the point... "warts and all" is irrelevant if you're not at least marginally successful. Once upon a time there were about 50 or so communist countries. Now there's two... North Korea and Cuba, neither of which seems to fit the description of a worker's paradise.
China, Vietnam and Laos are still listed as communist, but in reality they've all "Evolved"
backwards towards market economies.
And forget the United States... too many warts still. The
"Happiest Nation on Earth" is socialist... little Denmark. Followed by Switzerland, Austria, Iceland, Australia, Finland, etc. The U.S. ranked about 16th.
And the common key to happiness seems to be not necessarily money but personal freedom combined with a degree of security. A socialist economy.
