    Where have you seen capitalism work? Or what are your metrics for “it works”? And which states do you consider being failed communist states? And why did they fail in your opinion?

          Well, everyone seems to think communism hasn’t been effectively enforced in any country. So, no, nobody could say that and keep that argument valid.

            it’s worked effectively in small socially isolated religious communities with rigid social codes. Amish, Kibbitz, etc.

      Ah, but all those states aren’t TRUE capitalist states. That’s why we can’t point to a successful example.

        That’s funny, because Capitalism doesn’t even work when you try to make it less agressive by implementing rail guards.

        But sure, looking at states like the USA makes me believe that Capitalism is doing good!
