Capitalism has not been successful either. There are no capitalist
countries in the world. All so-called capitalist countries are actually
mixed systems which override the market with government regulation
and control.
Neither capitalism nor communism appears to be consistent with human
nature as it exists today. Communism fails due to the human tendency to
be lazy and to get as much as possible with as little work as possible.
Capitalism fails due to the human tendency to be envious and to be
intolerant of great differences in wealth and power. These personality
traits evolved during our millions of years in small bands of hunter-
gatherers.
So let me ask your rhetorical question back at you. Why do capitalists
and such attempt to treat communists with such disdain "when they
have never been able to show even one success after all these years?"
Just curious.
