Yeh, i know they tend to discuss Capitalism in economic terms and Communism in social terms, i think this is one of the problems we have in society on the understanding of them because both Capitalism and Communism are actually both economic/social systems/ideologies however they fundamentally differ. I woyuld beg to argue the opposite with your second paragraph and can give a couple quick examples. When Howard reduced state control and de-regulated our Aviation industry i remember ticket prices falling by up to 90%, a Brisbane to Melbourne flight could cost a grand before the de-regulation and after 100 bucks. If Albo hadn't banned Qatar i think it was, customers could have paid less for plane fares not so long ago and we would have had less inflation. When Telecom industry / Telstra was de-regulated and competition was allowed consumers paid less for the services. There were no wage cuts with all these things and everyone got more for their money, i don't see this as destructive at all, i see it as beneficial for Australians because they got more for the same money, one could afford to catch a plane more often to go see relatives in different states for example.

Iran, Libya, Cuba all distributed substantial benefits to citizens with little taxation. All were blockaded out of economic advancement or overthrown. could it be that an insatiable, predatory capital empire wanted to the destroy those systems (and discredit that ideology so much people would never allow it again) and take the countries for itself?
