Are you sure we disagree? I was responding to the idea that communism is flawed (and I think it is). Among many other reasons already previously mentioned, I think it is also flawed because isn't it true that you can't really fail or succeed in a communist society? What I am saying is that if you *knew* Big Government was not going to step in and take care of you, you might be a little more motivated to work, go to school, study more, and reach for the stars.
I agree that success requires hard work.

ALL forms of government are flawed. Each country simply lives with what they have... or changes it at some point ... or WE step in and try to change it for them, sigh. |
