    Yes, but that's not what the thread is about

    edit: I think we are suppose to compare a socialist system of full government control of the economy vs. a libertarian style government.

      This thread is about Capitalism v. Communism as espoused by their first practioners. You, for some reason (which I attribute to bias) want to compare a middle of the road system (socialist system) with a far right system. Marx argued for nothing more than an anarchist utopia.

      So, the comparison is between a communist anarchy v. libertarian capitalism. BOTH argued for a lack of government control.

        Well then the outcome should be undeterminable and this poll is very stupid.

          Huh?


          Free market and capitalism (as it exists now) are very different.

          Well then the outcome should be undeterminable and this poll is very stupid.


          Polls are about opinions!

            I was more confused by his remark that Adam Smith was not in support of capitalism.

              It's a witty statement, Duncan. Look outside the box .
