[SIZE=12pt]"You propose to establish a social order based on the following tenets: that you're incompetent to run your own life, but competent to run the lives of others-that you're unfit to exist in freedom, but fit to become an omnipotent ruler-that you're unable to earn your living by the use of your own intelligence, but able to judge politicians and to vote them into jobs of total power over arts you have never seen, over sciences you have never studied, over achievements of which you have no knowledge, over the gigantic industries where you, by your own definition of your capacity, would be unable successfully to fill the job of assistant greaser.†[/SIZE] Ayn Rand Atlas Shrugged
The Soviet Union and China both industrialized and had smog and pollution. They also had much more poverty than any "capitalist" or more correctly state mixed capitalist economy.

James, you can just replace 'communism' with 'collectivism'. This would be universally applicable, and without a ______ leaning label, people would feel less inclined to defend collectivism simply for the sake of playing devil's advocate or making economic arguments.
especially when they have no idea of what the fuck theyre talking about, and couldnt really tell you any real fundamental differences between the two parties, or why there arent any in the first place. Enough posts, now meme's:
Without the socialism vs capitalism discussion this thread would be 260 pages shorter. Arguing with homelessness? Really? But it's nice to compare socialism with capitalism when they don't exclude each other. But it's all good since the US was the land where milk and honey flow when the republican non socialists where elected....wait? what? It wasn't the best ever? Shit, what if it's all the same bullshit and they only use those images to make you guys hate each other? No, that would be impossible!
sorry starvation in africa is caused by governments. Both corrupt african governments and the legacy of European Imperialism. If they practiced free market capitalism they wouldn't be starving. Africa is filled with resources.
