This is a ridiculous argument. You've already established that the idealistic form of communism cannot possibly work. No country in the modern world can survive without trade of some sort or another. Cuba is a dictatorship. I suggest that the main cause of Cuba's problems is that it's a Communist dictatorship. The previous regime was also a dictatorship but with a corrupt leader who cheated his people & dealt with the Mafia & other criminal elements. The fact he was a capitalist seems to make this acceptable. Roll Eyes

Hey I've got a totally brilliant new theory!
Capitalism is basically geography Shocked

Everyone is interested in the movement of little bits of green paper from someones bank account into their pocket Grin

Dictatorships are basically geography! The movement of little green bits of paper from peoples pockets into the Presidents bank account.
So the only thing we can do without interference under any system and without paying taxes is to convert oxygen into carbon dioxide and to procreate!
I'm off for some heavy breathing Wink

There are two types of aeroplane, Spitfires and everything else that wishes it was a Spitfire!

Personally I'm waiting for the Turkmenistan dictator to accompany his ban on Ballet with a breathing tax. Grin

So to summarize...

The communist economy is superior to the capitalist economy simply because a communist economy depends solely upon the concept of capitalism in order to survive.

As i've said many times this evening, true communism doesn't require help from any capitalist economy because true communism doesn't need an economy or money of any sort. But true communism can only exist in theory and so nothing is quite that simple. Wink

I'm not saying one is better than the other. No form of society is perfect. If you forget this obsession with labels they're all pretty much alike. The main difference is between democracy & dictatorships & there's corrupt examples of both. It doesn't make a great deal of difference whatever they might like to call themselves

Yes, WWII was worth it, the reason we are ,in the main, free is because of the sacrifice made by soldiers in WWII.

The likes of the Nazi's must never rise again, alas, we learn so little from our past..... Roll Eyes
