I'm of the belief that socialism is the ideal form of government, but it is something that human beings cannot succeed at. The people in charge of these communist regimes always end up hording the wealth while everyone else lives "equally". Its's human nature to take advantage of power, and that's why socialism fails. Castro is a man I admire very much for standing up to the US government, but i don't like the fact that he's wealthy. Seriously, practive what you preach! He's extremely rich, but his idealogy insists on everyone living equally? come on. Communism can only thrive on the integrity of those who practice it.
But, we really haven't given communism a fair chance, have we? Afterall, America has been trying to crush communism wherever it springs up since the Russian revolution.
So until coummunism can be used correctly, we're stuck with the immoral capitalist insitution called the United States. Look at where capitalism has us as a society: we have a corporate lacky as a president who is willing to wage unjust war for oil, the mass marketing of sexuality for the purpose of profit, and media brainwash.
Don't get me wrong, I love this country and wouldn't want to live anywhere else. I'm just frustrated with how may problems need to be addressed.
I'm rambling now. wanna discuss more?
