Communism is better, in general, than Capitalism

Capitalism is better for people as a whole (not a rebuttal)2. Rise to the top3. Consumer is king in a capitalist society4. Incentive and Reward5. Majority of the world use capitalismCapitalism is better for people as a wholeCapitalism promotes healthy growth of society and safety from oppressions (we are not talking about racism as that happened in both societies). Lets compare some of the most "successful" communist and the most successful capitalist regimes. Mao Zedong and Joseph Stalin were both responsible for the communization of USSR and China under Mao Rule. (1)(2). These guys were great leaders. However, what kind of ramifications did their regime have for their own people? 101 million citizens murdered. 78 million by Mao Zedong and 23 million by Joseph Stalin. (3) Also, lets not forget that everyone except the elite was starving and barely scraping by a living. This is definitely not good for your own people. For comparisons sake, I will take the two of the most successful current capitalist countries (4). The United States and England. The U. S. was established over 200 years ago. How many genocides and oppressions of people have occurred in the 200 years of existence? None. Does it have a functioning and stable economy and society? Yes. Has England has any massive genocides and oppressions? In modern years, no. Is it a functioning and stable economy and society? Yes. From this we can obviously see that capitalist is better for people as a whole. There are no wide scale genocides or oppressions from its leaders. Capitalism is clearly the prime choice for the welfare of its citizens. Rise to the topI am not compelled to write this argument against so I will copy it from a previous debate (5):The most obvious beneficial impact of capitalism is that everybody gets equal opportunities. Everybody, starts out in one spot and whoever is the smartest and most cunning rises to the top. Capitalism rewards the smart. The dumb people stay at the bottom. Have you ever heard of a genius homeless person? No, because if they were a genius they wouldn't be homeless. It's a sink-or-swim system. Capitalism allows for loans, one of the most important principles of rising to the top. How would you get past Harvard with no money? You take out a loan. Other systems don't allow for loans, so you can't rise up. Once you rise to the top, you obviously have more opportunities. But the important thing is that everybody gets a chance to rise to the top. Lets compare this to a communist society. Nobody has equal opportunities. This is because there are no opportunities. Regardless of if you are smart or dumb, you will still be farming the field for the rest of your life. Communism is a class-less society. Classes help the economy. The rich serve as an incentive for the poor to become rich. Loans do not exist. If a person is born poor, they will stay poor. There is virtually no moving up classes. Nobody opens their own business. Everybody goes to the same university. People have no choices in life. Their life is chosen before they are born. Consumer is king in a capitalist societyAgain, I am copying from one of my previous debates (5):One of the most important arguments about capitalism versus communism is that in a capitalist society, the consumer is king. The consumer has all the power. The consumer regulates supply, demand, and price. For example, lets say that many consumers want to eat at a random fast food restaurant. As a result, the demand for the restaurant has increased, the supply has increased, and the price has increased. This is what I mean when I say that the consumer controls the whole business world. By buying this product and not that product, the consumer regulates which products are to stay and which have to go. Since there are many different types of consumer, there are many different brands and stores. Let's compare this to a communist society. Everybody is equal. Nobody has more than the other person. The government has to measure and record how much each person has so they don't get too much. In this society, the consumer is not king. He doesn't get to decide whether he wants an Armani or Tommy Hilfiger jacket. The government does that for him. Nearly all of the clothes that a people wear will be the same. Same brand, same color, same everything. How does this help a society? Greatly. These kinds of choices promote individualism, freedom, and choice. All of these things are key in keeping a healthy society. If people at least believe that they have a choice, then they will be happy. Oppression from communist rule will not promote these aspects. As a result, the people will be displeased. Also, these choices allow the consumer to regulate bad businesses. Nobody wants a bad company selling them bad products. In a capitalist society, they can control it by shutting it down (not buying the products). It a communist society, if the company is owned by the government, the people have no choice of whether to buy from it or not. IncentiveFinally, a argument that I am not copying from a previous debate. Incentives are key in a society. Incentives are what keep people motivated and willing to work. In a capitalist society, there is always an incentive. The harder you work and the more you try, the more money/power/love/any object of desire will come to you. The rich serve as an incentive for the poor. The poor know that they have a chance that they will eventually be the rich people. This motivates society. Without this motivation, people will be lazy and non productive. Laziness=Non-productiveness=Society Fails. This is exactly what a communist system promotes. They have no incentive. You will not move up the classes. You will not earn more money than your neighbor. After all of this, what is the point of trying? If you can make 20 toys or 2 toys, what is the point of making the 20 toys if you can make 2 for x/10 the time for the same pay. Communism lacks an incentive which generates and powers society. Majority of the world use capitalismLets compare how much of the world uses capitalism and how much uses communism. Every single country uses capitalism except North Korea (yes, China uses capitalism)(6). The world population right now is 6.7 billion (7) North Korea's population is about 24 million. (8) 6.7 billion-24 million= 6.676 billion. 6.676/6.7=99.6 99.6% of the world uses capitalism. On the other hand, 0% of the world uses communism. If the whole world uses capitalism and nobody uses communism, then capitalism is obviously supreme. ConclusionCapitalism is more beneficial for the society. It gives equal chance for everybody to rise to the top. It promotes choice, freedom, and individuality. In a capitalist society, the consumer is king. Capitalism provides an incentive for people to work. Also, 99.6% of the world uses capitalism.
