"Communism doesn’t work" and capitalism does?? The problem is that people look at countries like China and North Korea as examples of communism, the truth is these countries are no more communist than the USA. They claim to be communist but are really capitalist, there is not a single communist country in the developed world and there never has been. Capitalism insures poverty and social inequality, which is what communism stands against. Capitalism also insures that democracy is impossible where as true democracy is no only possible but an essential part of 'TRUE' communism.
