Ask a communist economist
#9
RE: Ask a communist economist
The Barefoot Bum - I know some answers but you probably know better than me - How would you reply to these capitalist arguments (numbered)?

1 - Capitalism is better because it promotes growth and wealth trough competition and gives people incentives and reasons to actually work

(I think pointing out the URSS put people into space is a good start to counter...)

2 - Capitalism is the only system that has proven to work correctly with human nature

3 - If you have quality products and services, you only need to think capitalism (technology, healthcare, et.c)
Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you
