Soviet 'communism' generally wound up incorporating a strong state. True Marxian communism would be stateless.I fail to see how it can be a true anarchy, Communism incorporates a strong state, not no state whatsoever.
Yes.do you support the government helping the poor and the such?
People are helping, but poverty still exists.there will be poor if people dont help![]()
Yes.
Socialism will not work because people like me are not willing to give up their standard living for the better of the whole.
is it not true that the nations that are not purple have a higher standard of living?
Is it not true, that the more power government has, the less freedom the people have?
so in other words, you want a golden middle, not too captalist, not too socialist.
In the United States the upper class, also referred to simply as the rich, is often considered to consist of those with great influence and wealth. In this respect the US differs from countries such as the UK where membership of the 'upper class' is also dependent on other factors. The American upper class is estimated to constitute less than 1% of the population, while the remaining 99% of the population is either middle class, working class or "steerage/under class." The main distinguishing feature of the class is its ability to derive enormous incomes from wealth rather than work.[1][2][3] CEOs, politicians, investment bankers, some lawyers, heirs to fortunes, successful venture capitalists, stockbrokers as well as celebrities are considered members of this class by contemporary sociologists, such as James Henslin or Dennis Gilbert.[1] There may be prestige differences between different upper-class households. The actor Bruce Willis, for example, might not be accorded as much prestige as former U.S. President Bill Clinton.[2] Yet, all members of this class are so influential and wealthy as to be considered members of the upper class.[1]
"Upper-class families... dominate corporate America and have a disproportionate influence over the nation's political, educational, religious, and other institutions. Of all social classes, members of the upper class also have a strong sense of solidarity and 'consciousness of kind' that stretches across the nation and even the globe."
The "human nature" argument is just pure nonsense, the only reason we need to act this way is because that's the way capitalism works, not because it's the fundamental way humans are created.However, free market capitalism makes the mistake of working completely WITH human nature,

does capitalism take into consideration the human nature? isnt that why it works? because it knows people make mistakes?
