Pure communism or pure capitalism doesn’t work in theory. The last pure communist country was the USSR and the last pure capitalist country was 1920s US. We all know how it worked out.

And what most people want to refer to is not communism, but socialism.



There has never been a quintessentially communist or capitalist government. That aside, communism is not the opposite of capitalism, please get that straight.

Remember, communism (not in the purest form) can coexist with a great deal of personal liberty, it is just that capitalistic forms of government are more conducive of this liberty than are communistic forms of government.

Dumb people don’t know what capitalism is and think communism equals North Korea. Ignorant people think Capitalism≠communism which is a radical form of socialism.

If you ask Karl Marx he would say that while Communism is the final and end goal, Socialism is a way by which society can achieve such a goal. It does not mean it is a progressive or linear movement towards the goal.

An example of a country that is leaning towards socialism would be India. Putting an “ist” at the end assumes that it of pure essence, which it is not.

Things to note. High taxes does not always mean socialism.
