        Media sensationalism is par for the course. Taking sensationalism seriously takes skill.

Build your funeral pyre; beside it, my carpenters will build a gallows. You may follow your custom. And then we will follow ours."--General Sir Charles James Napier

          Che, socialism is a form of capitalism since the aim is to generate capital and then redistribute it according to the need of society. You understand this right ?

            I'd be more interested how other forms would stack up in a poll.

              Che is a spasmatic communist though, not a spasmatic socialist.

                    I'd think that the "everybody works but me" economic system would come out on top, but that wouldn't explain why communism (extrapolated from this article as "capitalism is awful" = "communism is awesome") scores as low as it does.

                      Because it is in the nature of a human being to actually decide for yourself what to do with the bit of capital you generated.

                                The main point has been addressed-- The poll questions are such that even I, generally a supporter of capitalism would pick the " has problems that needs to be addressed"-- I am not blind to the inherent issues with a capitalist system nor with the problems that arise in any given country with how that country regulates things.

                                So the 11% number is a garbage number. The more interesting number is the % that thing capitalism is fatally flawed.
