    Your description of communism is pure fantasy. The weakest (laziest) do fall in capitalism, but more importantly, the brightest are allowed to shine. This is one of the key reasons communism fails. The best are held back and forced to support the weak. The best society has to offer will NEVER go for this for very long. Even the average people, who are willing to work, will not stand for doing all the work to prop up the weakest and having everything they worked for stripped from them. Communism is a pipe dream that when applied to reality always fails.

    In communism everyone shares equally no matter how productive you are, the lazy get the same as the productive ones. It makes the productive ones want to work less, because what is the point of working your ass off if Lazy Larry ends up with as much as the productive ones. The Soviet Union had a really bad problem with productivity for this reason. Nothing ever got done, because the workers were too busy trying to out-lazy the next guy.

    America is a form of communism with its sliding scales of everything. Larry Lazy doesn't work, so Larry can't afford a cell phone. No problem. The government will give you a free cell phone. Same with computers, internet service, utility bills, rent, food and medical. Some of them feign illness and get free maid and taxi service.

    Then at the other side of this equation, people that do work hard have to buy their own stuff, and pay taxes so Lazy Larry can have a cell phone. This is kind of a Robin Hood, except they rob from the productive and give to the Lazy Larry's of the world. It is BS.

    Anecdote: I pay 950/month for my place. I buy my own food, pay a 20% deductible for medical, pay full price for my internet service and my utilities, buy my own 'toys'. I do not have much left over after I pay all my bills.

    On the other hand, Lazy Larry is on Section 8 and doesn't pay anything for his apartment, even though it is as nice as mine. The government buys his food, toys, etc. Lazy Larry doesn't EARN much money so he gets a discount on his utilities and such. Lazy Larry is also a pot head. He has enough money left over from the cash stipend he gets from the government that he can afford to spend $200/month on pot. That is a form of communism because our government is forcing the productive ones to subsidize the lazy and unproductive ones.

    My children work up to 70 hrs/week and get a good portion of the money they earn taken out for taxes to subsidize other's laziness. That isn't right, nor fair, and it goes against the grain of survival of the fittest. What we are getting is a huge class of people that would never make it in the real world because they are lazy. These people are the ones having all the children; and the lazies are breeding lazy children. My kids don't have time or the money to raise five kids the way they should be raised. Not many mothers and fathers that work do have the time to have broods.

    I know I've told this story before, but this sliding scale thing that my children end up subsidizing irks me to no end.

    Communism is a discarded relic of the 19th century, though of course, it does have a small following of dedicated dead-enders.

    My assertions about those nations were quite accurate and you cannot refute them hence your dismissal of them.

    You are younger less wise and less informed than I am silly boy.

    Stalin did not invent the term Marx did and you misstate what he wrote. Incidentally is not a smart move. As I said it is not about from each according to his labor but according to his need.

    There is no exception exploitation exists under socialism as well. The surplus of production has nothing to do with exploitation one way or the other. In other words ones labor can be exploited and no surplus created as a result.

    If capitalism is so bad then who's responsible for the computer you wrote OP on?
