The only place that communism "works" is the family unit because children are not capable of supporting themselves so they must be given everything. It stops working outside of that.

Capitalism actually works in practice at any size and has worked for hundreds of years.

No, taking anything from communism is not the solution to the problem.

Capitalism isn't working now, and it sure as hell wasn't working when socialism was invented, else socialism wouldn't have taken off and made the gains it did.

"Yeah capitalism's failed, but that's not REAL capitalism!"

It was shit for workers before central banking as well, btw.

The truth is that pure calitalism AND pure socialism are untenable and lead to vast income disparity and concentration of power in thr hands of a few. See 1890s america and the communist " experiments" of the 20th century. Real shared prosperty is acheived with a system of free commerce, well regulated by a limited government of the people with a bit of a safety net, largely administered at the local level. The key is to prevent excess power accumulation in either the state or large mega corps.
