Communism > Capitalism

Judicial System Kefka's refute to my Justice System argument relies on no hard evidence (nor any period of history in the world) that could give his conclusion a shred of legitimacy. All it is looking to me is like a good, old ideological shout, "Some day in the future we will be smart enough to be peaceful with one another." Well, my opponent is relying on humanity to take a shift into perfect, and, well, he doesn't have hard facts that it will. Under the grounds that my opponent can't predict the future, and including that his communist system can't be implemented on current day citizens and still work (which, I am advocating that humanity from now and until perfection can use Capitalism - giving it a one up, I'm afraid), he fails this premise. Currency I never related Communism to bartering - I related currency to bartering. My opponent miss read my above argument. His re-issuing of the trading technique can be re-argued against with my former statements to it. Motivation A person does not blow up the price of something like an AIDs cure, because the profits from selling low would out do the profits of selling high - the demand would be strong enough in whole continents like Africa. Obviously the communists don't make very good businessmen. And if my opponent is ruling selfishness as a wrong doing, that is a far greater ethical debate that can't possibly be fit here for me. In other words, he can not argue that selfishness is a down bringer without providing statistics on such a claim. Education My opponent's argument against this is empty. He knows nothing of the motivations for the countries to use socialist ideals in their education system. He claims that it was behind their motivation, but has zero hard evidence to prove this. He is just blowing smoke and making up motivations. I could say their motivation was garlic, and have just as much proof. If my opponent insists on comparing current day Capitalist and Communist (at their purest form that can be presented in this day and age), he can look to the economies and education systems of Hong Kong (for Capitalism) and North Korea (for communism). He also can't say it is Capitalism bringing down these schools, because the reason the schools are preforming low is because they are run socialistic (your taxes paid for them here in America, and the idea that the government supplies and distributes the money to all of them). He can't present a hard fact that Capitalism is the doubt, because both systems are mixed into the wielding. (But, as we can see with the money distribution aspect, the socialist half is sinking the system). My opponent gave no reasons why supply and demand should not be the system. All my opponent said was that it shouldn't.... Without reasons, it's a pretty empty argument... Also, this is not a battle for which system is more equal (a miss wording that favors my opponent. I could say that Capitalism is a much greater system for quality in this debate, and still not prove that it is best over all-- as the debate requests - but, it seems, this is the only thing my opponent has been able to say all debate). --- I can cross apply arguments if they apply to your redundant statements, thank you very much. --- But, that is quite the thing that is taken away -- a person being able to be greater than another. How do communists view bad actors, or bad painters? Can they provide paintings even though no one will buy them? Can a horrible producer of light bulbs keep producing them and receive exactly what everyone else is receiving, even though he is contributing nothing productive to society? I don't see any real progression in this. Also, atheists prove that humans can act justly when it comes to social contract being implemented -- they are still afraid of punishments -- my opponent has proved nothing here. My opponent has no lawless society that has thrived to point out it's capacity to work. Human beings must transcend their current emotions and humanity in order to act in the perfect way (and produce goods in such a perfect way) for communism to work. Because communism can't be implemented in any other society but a perfect one, it is less than Capitalism. "Capitalism demands the best of every man – his rationality – and rewards him accordingly. It leaves every man free to choose the work he likes, to specialize in it, to trade his product for the products of others, and to go as far on the road of achievement as his ability and ambition will carry him." -- Ayn Rand Regards, Vi
