What's the difference between Communism or Capitalism ? The way I see it the rich get richer and the poor stay poorer under both systems.
They are both bad. America was great when it had a mixed economy, now its going too far towards oligarchy and fascism and we will probably be a full blown monarchy within 50 years with no rights or money for 90% of the people.
Capitalism is financial system that works best when men are free to collaborate on the laws of the land

In Soviet Union, we knew that under capitalism, man exploits his fellow man, but under communism it is other way round.

Does Capitalism take from people? No.
Does Capitalism tax people? No.
Does Capitalism tell people what they can and cannot buy? No.
Capitalism is not a political system. Capitalism has helped more people out of poverty than any other economic system in the history of the planet. Capitalism allows people who are willing to take risks to achieve great things.
Their war against civilization as we wish it, when it comes for us will likely have hints of Josef Stalin, Pol Pot or Mao tactics.

And yet, Soviets became a super power in 205 years?
What's the point when ether both systems can lead to the same extreme...the inequal distribution of wealth or authority power in the hands of one or few.
O wait one can dream, while the other can't for its health?
Good old theocratic rule.

The Soviets didn't become a superpower in 205 years with a communist government.
Nothing you're saying is true.

They gave us a run for the money during the Cold War.
It may have turned out differently if we did not use the rest of the world as our piggy bank with the petrodollar.
Why are we so defiant on protecting the petrodollar with the largest global military in the world if capitalism is so great?
Antony Sutton wrote a bunch of books on stuff like how Wall

Capitalism is bad, communism is bad, socialism is the middle ground.
