- Capitalism and Alternatives -Why do we need to label it Communism?In Reply to: Communism, only hope for the future... posted by R.D. on July 20, 1997 at 00:10:22:
Communism has had many labels placed upon it. The true problem in making a system work is obtaining the right mind set for the people who want to make it work. The problem occurs because there is two mind sets egoism and altruism. Each of these focuses on how we interact with the people and objects around us. Egoism is the belief that one can only make his/her self happy by loving his/her self. Altruism believes that one should find his happiness from the ones that he serves. Each of these beliefs brings one to his/her perfection, but may also bring others misery and pain. In a world filled with each of these aspects of human interaction, we then need to decide if we want to edify ourselves as a god and become an egoist that seeks money to compare to his/her accomplishments or humble our bodies and lose ourselves in the service and much needed help to those that are sick and afflicted. None.
