Capitalism allows some talented programmers to start a million dollar game company from their basement. Communism allows... well... no games at all without government approval?
you're in need of some serious perspective if you think the only alternative to capitalism must be communism, and fear any sort of talk against one or the other. capitalism is flawed.. horribly, just like any system of control. at the ultimate end of the rich getting richer, consolidating wealth into the hands of the very few, where do you think that finally leaves ppl like you or I that would bother posting in a forum like this? a wonderful life for all in your ultra-capitalist society? it probably wouldn't hurt to have a look at the options while the riaa isn't suing ppl for it. now i'm not saying thats going to happen in your or my lifetimes, but try to see past your and capitalism's nose plz.
i'm not going to argue whether capitalism has brought forth many things that are good, and of course bad but who's to say any other system of control wouldn't have brought them at a different time in a diff order, perhaps a more reasonable pace, perhaps, perhaps not, but you're a fool and a communist to believe otherwise.
