Communism essay
Capitalism vs Communism a comparative essay by che piccone
Communism- A theory or system of social organization based on the holding of all property in common, actual ownership being ascribed to the community as a whole or to the state. Sounds reasonable enough so why has it never worked, well lack of support from predominant nations, but mainly a lack of moral strength in humans. Humans are naturally competitive it is a genetic component of our natural behavior. Even if it weren’t humans consciously or sub consciously condition there children to compete with one another it is a simple enough concept, who gives any attention to the mediocre who praises average, mundane no one cause it is commonplace it is the ordinary we see it day in day out, when everything is uniform, no one is special no one is individual. Everyone wants to be special everyone wants to be individual. A system of government based upon no one being individual or special was doomed from the start. Without challenge without adversity we have no push no drive to defeat and achieve. It is worth noting that the communism envisioned by karl marx was never achieved anywhere more of a bastard totalitarian version
The current or past Communism is or was only a kind of capitalism, except an even more defective kind, defective because people cant get rich but they still die of hunger, a fitting title for modern communism is not communism but commu-capatalism, proof is the former united soviet socialist republic.
Communism is a virtuous concept but in order for it to work there needs to be a significant change in the human psyche. If you really think about it, presently comunism does not exist all governments that classify themselves as communist deep down at essence really arent that different from capitalism. There are still people in positions of power, with more money, in better social standing and with better jobs that require less work for the same pay true Communism does not exist, it will not exist anytime in the foreseeable future. For it to work it would require our human nature to change from one that is based in greed, self promotion and ego into one that is basically altruistic.
Humans are basically selfish, they dont care about the common good there is a tendency to freeload and take comfort in flaws ingrained within the system. Human nature is based on survival of the fittest disagree??
well the only reason you exist is because you were the fastest or fittest you made it to the egg first.
It is readily suggested that America’s capitalist society thrives so well due to competition, ego survival of the fittest the pursuit of happiness
According to Sigmund Freud, humans are born screaming for attention and full of organic drives for fulfillment
Capitalism
an economic system based on private ownership of capital,
Capitalism relies on people putting there own needs first, the point of it is that if you work hard you will succeed, prosper, actualize your wish and goals, get to the top and do pretty much whatever you want.
Regardless our governmental system wanderings have stumbled a system whereby, on paper, those who put the most effort in garner the most gravy. But, it dosent quite work that way. why?
Well One of the biggest faults in this system is the basic axiom that if the general public tries to procure as much material wealth as they can the interest of the masses would be served. This only seems to create a sense of extreme selfishness, selfishness
