While it's fine and dandy that US-Americans begin to hate capitalism after -- apparently -- circumstances of living have toughened for many due to war-related expenses and public and social system cuts, I don't think I want to see the USA turn into another USSR. We already had one of those.
And although, partially, of Eastern German heritage, with relatives who lived in the GDR, I hope I'll never see other countries becoming what the USSR became.
The USSR was big and powerful, and people had limited, but considerable freedom, and apparently were living quite well.
Yet, I still think dictatorship is not a good model of ruling a people. Even democracy proves to be corrupt when it shouldn't.
To me, there's only one way true freedom can be accomplished. And that is by using the capitalist system to create a world of unity. Then, money and regular forms of government could be removed. Local councils and no central government (which equals anarchy).
Doesn't that sound better than that old de-facto type of communism?
