We live in an impure capitalistic world, and the communist movements we've seen have not been communist in the marxist sense.<p>And talking about these as absolutes has no real value- there are other social-economic constructs which we must look to instead of jailing us in two parts based on.. well, nothing.<p>all the anti-communist propaganda still lives on in the hearts of Americans, but nobody can say for sure if Capitalism or Communism is objectively better since we've never actually seen true capitalism or true communism.<p>(and socialism is another thing entirely).
