100% agree, look no further than current communist, and ex-communist countries.
Even ones which succesfully "decommunized" still have that ex-party member class which still lives off fraud, and economic crimes 30 years after.
- bserge 5y agoYou actually think the political class is not full of thieves anywhere else? It's a career path that attracts this kind of people, like flies to shit.
- baybal2 5y agoI am calling countries in which communists are no longer the political class, but even when turned into a social underlayer class, these fellows, and their offspring, or even their grandchildren cannot vean themselves off economic parasitism, and economic crime. They are becoming a multigenerational class living off economic crime.
- bserge 5y agoYeah, I often hate doctors myself. Doesn't mean the majority are bad.
- kelseyfrog 5y agoI can't help but laugh because your last line perfectly describes inheritance, a practice whose abolishment was demanded in The Communist Manifesto.
- shitloadofbooks 5y agoI think you're forgetting (or deliberately ignoring) all the great political and economic frauds that have happened in capitalist systems too. I don't think any political/economical/social system can ever be immune to fraud and sociopaths.
- rc2634 5y agoIt’s true that fraud and corruption will always exist but it’s also true that it’s less prevalent in a capitalist system because it’s more (not completely) transparent than any other system that has been tried by humans so far.
