How many countries can you name that has succeded
in making capitalism work? None if you ask me.

The result is always poverty for many and extreme wealth for few.

How can this be defended?
How can you say that capitalistic/imperialistic countries have made
an effort in the peoples needs except for their own undeserved needs.

And why do everybody think that the eastern block countries ever lived
under communism. Stalin called his country communist, but that does NOT
mean he followed communist ideology when building USSR.

Stalin did never want anything else but power to himself.

Communism as it should be is (and must be to survive) democratic.

It is the only ideology which can provide equal human rights for
all. And that is by eliminating people the possibility to exercise
power abuse over another human. Capitalism will not work if not someone
are left out of the society. Capitalism will always give a few the
right to exploit the weaker.

Before posting a reply to this you must read a bit about marx/lenin/
trotsky/mao too see that Stalin's dictatorship does not include
communism as these people, and many others today, see it in the future.
