Communism/Socialism v. Capitalism - which one is better really?
- Thread starter nnmartin

As has been said, sure you can get paid more if you work, but you're still taking peoples' money that do work when you don't have to. Might as well just stay home, skip school, live without a job, you will survive and possibly have enough entertainment.
Most definitely.
It's simple you see. What's yours is yours, and yours only. If you believe in sharing money, I want to see you give a homeless man your computer.

Heh, funny you say that when Communism is practically the opposite of that. People make money off other people working.

Way to dodge the question.
Please explain to me the process of your monetary accumulation.

Funny you should say that when you've just described Capitalism.
Not at all. Capitalism is not giving other people money, Socialism/Communism is the opposite.
Had them confused all this long?
I think you would've found my answer in there: there is no accumulation.

If there is no accumulation of wealth, then please explain what a dollar is.

You just stated that Communism was where people made money off of others' work. If this isn't Capitalism, please tell me how it isn't.
You misread.
I meant people that don't work or work easier jobs make some of the earned money from the people that work hard jobs.
A dollar is money, when you've earned it, it's yours' and yours' only, not the government's, not the peoples', not anyone's besides yourself.

Serious, sounds like the top crust in Capitalsim to me. Please explain how someone breaking their back at the bottom of the pyramid gets paid less for their work than the CEO.

So money isn't money, and you can't have it given or taken from you... Where does wealth come from?
Wealth: 1. a great quantity or store of money, valuable possessions, property, or other riches: the wealth of a city. 2. an abundance or profusion of anything
So, please, tell me how the wealthy gain their money.
Because without CEOs we're practically screwed? They're more needed. And doctors will get paid not much less, along with firefighters, etc all of them more important jobs.
How does that make a difference though, how does that at all sound like Capitalism? In Capitalism your earned money is all your own money. In Communism/Socialism, your earned money is not all your money.
Why do you say that?
Working important jobs obviously.
Working important jobs.

Now we are arguing philosophy. Who determines how much work is worth?
We would not be screwed without CEOs, we are screwed by them. And Doctors get paid, but not as much as CEOs, and Firefighters, LOL, they don't get paid nearly as much as Doctors...
A society is a total of its parts, if you state that we can't fuction without CEOs, explain how we can fuction without lineworkers.

Realism?
You can't tell me Garbage Men or Fast Food Workers are more needed than Doctors.
I never said Firefighters get paid as much as Doctors, Firefighters are less important.
Doctors are less important than the CEOs
Explain how we are screwed by the CEOs?
We can't easily but they are not as important as CEOs.

You say there is no accumulation of wealth, then you say you can gain money... How are these statements the same?
Thought you meant accumulation by the government, you never specified.
