I live in the US so everyone hates you if you think differently or do not support our capitalist economy. Now im talking about economy here so keep that in mind. Capitalism in this country is thaught of as the best and many people think that for good reason. However it does have its downsides such as eratic inflation, and it makes the wage difference of people ENORMOUS. The ratio between what the average person makes in the US and what the average CEO of a big company in the us is something like 1 and 94, that is just wrong. A capitalist economy makes it possible for people to come from something to nothing, that is the way it was set up, but since its been well established the people on top have made it SOOO hard for the little guy that is seems pointless, the American dream has evaporated!!! So through my teenage years, and being a rebellious person as i am, i have become a true supporter of Karl Marx, his original ideas could make society a lot better then it is and perhaps save America from spiraling out of control. Now communism has its upsides and its downsides but i think that if it was initiated correctly it would work very well. So argue with me all you want! i want some long thaught out responses for this discussion!

Capitalism is not bad if it really works. i.e. lack of monopoly, true competition ..etc.. capitalism doesnt mean that a state that would support pour people shouldnt exist.
