What Kind of Capitalism?

Conservative beliefs are really very close to the actual practice of Communism. That's why I say that Conservatives Are Communists. In Soviet Communism, most of the wealth was concentrated in the hands of the 2 or 3% of the people who were the leaders of the Communist Party. Everything else was spread among the remaining 97% of the population, who ended up with very little. That's why the Soviet Union finally collapsed. Conservatives believe in the same kind of narrow concentration of wealth here in the United States. This kind of disproportionate wealth distribution can only bring our nation to a similar economic collapse as the Soviet Union. We're seeing signs of such a shake-down right here, right now, after eight years of Conservative rule. Liberals believe in laws which further a broader and more equitable distribution of the nation's wealth. It's not Darwinian Dog-Eat-Dog Capitalism. It is controlled, regulated Capitalism. That kind of economic system will help keep our nation healthy, wealthy and wise.

Somehow, I find you slightly missinformed. When a worker in communist russia made the same whether he produced ten widgets or two widgets, he had no motivation to improve his productivity, an act that would have made him more valuable than the other workers next to him or in the other factory. What led to soviet collapse is the inspiration that comes with the freedom to increase your personal productivity for personal gain. everyone was essentially living off of someone else's effort. The difference in what happens in America today and what happened in Russia then was not disproportionate wealth, it was the difference between the efficiencies of a free market and central control as run by a government. A government that sets the prices for a good cannot be efficient at determining the value of that good.

I don't think you understand conservatism. Or communism. Or how to use paragraph breaks.

Conservatism in America IS NOT conservatism but a perverted political thought based only on foetus and no gays and blacks.
