Little difference between Communism and Capitalism?

Post by _ldsfaqs »

Just choose what works?

Buzz wrong....

First theres nothing that "works" about Communism. (be sure to watch the video at the bottom)
Second, they are vastly different systems as the article and video shows some of.

The two ideology's are not like Jet Kune Do where to be the best you choose what works best from anything and everything and/or system. As the video shows, Capitialism already has "socialist" aspects to it because there always will be those in need to help because of choice, or issues, and freedom, yet in capitalism there is the money to be more "social" and thus help those people, through some taxes and the charity of the people and business.

Wasn't Jet Kune Do the guy who did that martial arts video, Gangnam Style?

I believe that Jet Kune Do is the name of the North Korean National airline.
This, or any other post that I have made or will make in the future, is strictly my own opinion and consequently of little or no value.

President Obama never said "There’s little difference between Communism and Capitalism." He didn't imply that in that either. At minute 2:40 of the video in your link, President Obama said, "The most successful societies, the most successful economies are ones that are rooted in a market based system." Do you disagree with him about that, ldsfaqs?

The fact of the matter is, Obama never said nor implied "there's little difference between communism and capitalism." That is a lie, and you are a liar.
It’s relatively easy to agree that only Homo sapiens can speak about things that don’t really exist, and believe six impossible things before breakfast. You could never convince a monkey to give you a banana by promising him limitless bananas after death in monkey heaven.

Lie is such a harsh word. What if we say it was a transient ischemic attack brought on by the overexertion of martial arts dancing and leave it at that?

Please use the word martial carefully.
We have a search bot on that word.

The article he linkes goes even further than that. It goes from Obama saying that socialism is A-Ok to Obama endorsing the death of 200 million people. Because being a socialist = being Ok with Stalinist purges.

You mean infowars and Alex Jones put something in "quotes" that was never actually quoted?

Imagine that.
