Communism/Socialism - No Excuses

[Pompey Bum]

This discussion reminds me of an old joke as to what's wrong with communism.

Communist: ' Comes the revolution and we will all be driving a Rolls Royce .'

Non communist: 'But I don't want to drive a Rolls Royce.'

Communist: 'Comes the revolution you will do as you're told.'

Heh heh.

This thread reminds me of the old Cold War joke: With Capitalism, man exploits man; but with Communism, it's the other way around.

Not sure what you mean Kev67, because if Capitalism isn't the most perfect system ever for allowing "sociopaths, those with high intelligence, high risk taking personalities, and high self-regarding attitudes" to get to the top, then I'll eat my hat!

Yeh capitalism is so terrible... we've only seen living standards improve for the general population and working classes at an unprecedented rate, never equalled in all of human history.
