I mean, if you look at Russia (how it used to be), the US, Germany (how it used to be) and other countries, why the hell don’t these different aproaches to economical problems work that well?

the basic idea looks good on paper. but in real life, with real people involved, It works crappily. The CEO of Walmart, and a janitor of some walmart getting paid the same can piss some people off.
Here’s a question. Why does mental labor always pay more than physical labor?

because it’s the mental labor that thinks up all of the submarines and the atomic bombs, and it’s the physical labor that just builds the things shown in the blue-prints. It’s kind of stupid, I admit.


and yeah, Human Nature screws up seemingly perfect ideas.

first of all capitalism is a type of an economy
and it is the best system yet discovered. it works beautifully.


communism is a type of economy but you are mixing in government as well.
communism failed because government officials could not run the system. it works very well in a small group.

socialism is a type of government. sweden is a socialists country and it works just fine. socialism is basically a capitalists economy except the government plays a major role. they have high taxes but then the government provides lots of services free of charge for everyone, like healthcare.
