Just look at America vs. North Korea!
America is capitalist, while North Korea is socialist.
And that's why socialists are evil. |

I'd much rather be an anthro than a communist.
And that's by a million. |

Communism is the complete dissolution of social classes and construction of a "social order".
Looks okay on paper, plays out worse than 1D. |

"Communism (from Latin communis - common, universal) is a revolutionary socialist movement to create a classless, moneyless[1][2] and stateless social order structured upon common ownership of the means of production, as well as a social, political and economic ideology that aims at the establishment of this social order."

It looks okay on paper.
But, it plays out as "the incomplete dissolution of social classes (govt. haves and everyone else a have-not), and the government controls all means of production, and the production of a flawed social order." |

| I'm not saying communism works. I'm saying that communism may not be the main cause of poverty and destruction in North Korea. |

Well, it's the government.
Anyway, Animal Farm (look it up on youtube, it has the full movie) shows both how communism looks on paper and what communism really is. |

| For a case study of nearly unregulated capitalism, look at Hong Kong. |

I don't know much about Hong Kong, but apparently it has the ideal economy.
The economy is like the sky there apparently. |

I've seen Animal Farm (and read it).
I think the authoritarian dictatorship is the reason behind the nastiness at North Korea. |

And that's why democracy wins.
But North Korea is also socialist.
And I feel a socialist aura off of you. |

heheh... r u srs? America is capitalist? What country do you live in?
America is very socialist with some capitalizing. We are no where near even close to a free market.
But our markets are, indeed, much more free than North Korea's. |
