        Repeating your answer doesn’t help much. Have you studied any economics?

Communists have heads, hands, and environments. So do socialists, and feudalists, and aboriginal tribes, and, well, everyone.

Of course they do, but they aren't allowed to use them to their full potential. I don't think you have read your own links. Hint: read the first sentence of your wikipedia link. And yes I have partially studied economics and have family members who are trained economists.
