Communism works the same way, except the party leaders are the ones on top

Therefore the best system is the one that directly rewards the most horridly destructively greedy assholes around without the slightest obligation toward the rest of society!

It's not an either/or situation, there are more alternatives available.

Name them, Captain Smug. Tell us about whatever quaint Northern European social democratic paradise that you got excited about after reading about it on Reddit, that compartmentalizes and outsources all the suffering you don't want to know about.

I refuse to believe that someone who calls me 'captain smug' is seriously interested in my opinion.

Fair enough, so without any name calling, please name some of those alternatives you mentioned.

EDIT: you commented continously for 11 further hours after this post, without answering anyone in this thread, so i would safely assume you deserve all the name calling and more.

I'm not and would prefer you just fuck off, but since you're still here, NAME ONE OF THOSE COUNTRIES THAT HAS A SYSTEM YOU CLAIM IS BETTER.
