Is Communism better than Market Capitalism for the planet?
Market capitalism encourages a frenzied rat race in a competition for survival….the fittest leverage material resources best and enhance consumption beyond all sensible limits….. Communism cuts out the rat race as it gives everyone only what it perceives they really need and results in low material consumption. In the hey days of the Soviets the only wing of the state consuming large resources was the armed forces because they were in competition for survival with the US and the West, the rest of their economy was happily slumbering with per capita material consumption only a little higher than undeveloped countries. May be the world needs to turn back to Marxism for solutions to its present day self inflicted problems….
