: Communism is the best alternitive. The USSR failed only because of Stalin, wake up and smell the roses!

The USSR failed only because Stalin happened to be leading a hopeless economic system with no incentives to produce. The only way to achieve equality and progress is to accept that people may have UNequal wealth. People act as if "evil" corporations in pursuit of "obscene" profit cause of all world problems, yet if you think a business pollutes too much, or abuses the poor, you can always buy elsewhere. When a government starts taking away freedoms and spewing out senseless legislation where are you to turn?

The anglo-saxon U.S. is the richest nation, anywhere, in all of history; testament of the wealth-generating power of capitalism. Free Market is the logical extension of Free Democracy.
