A Democratic government has never existed just as a Communist government has never existed. You could go so far as to say they are the same thing."When you ride alone, you ride with Bin Ladin"-Bill Maher

Communism is about a more equal distribution of wealth in society, yes, but by no means is it a strict equality that ignores things like hard work and productive capacity.

Except in capitalism, the people who are paid the least do the most work, and the people who get paid the most, do the least work. If your theory were true, capitalism should have collapsed long ago.Originally posted by JimmyCracksCorn

Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...Comment

Re: Castro Practicing Capitalism?
umOriginally posted by Berzerker
In an interview, Castro said a woman, a former teacher of Marxism, makes twice her former salary working in Cuba's biotech industry. He said she even makes more than Cuba's agricultural minister because she's more productive. Isn't people making varying incomes based on productive capacity a capitalist notion?
socialism - to each according to their work
communism - to each according to their needs
or so we were told.
so socialism means you work your ass off but you get paid for that more than a lazy bum (the only difference is that living off stocks and bonds means you are lazy bum)
communism meant that you could get a ferrari if you wanted one, actually if you felt like one. explained like that, we knew it's never going to happen

LaRusso,
Communism should provide more. It is a more advanced state of economy from Socialism."When you ride alone, you ride with Bin Ladin"-Bill Maher
