Capitalism & Communism - What Next?

Are we headed towards a redefinition of values after the main economic system, capitalism and communism, failed to provide happiness and self-fulfillment to people in general? Just wondering what next.

To people like slip and pink, happiness will be found in the next world. If ever there was a more inhuman and selfish position, I would like to hear it.  Please tell your wise words to the people who watch thier children  die in front of their eyes as they have no food to feed the hungry,  no medicine to treat the sick and homes to shelter the homeless. When the system destroys the local ecomony and speculation drives food prices up denying the fundamental human right for people to have food and water, happiness will not be found in misery. The workers that come here from the 3rd world have left their families and freinds due to socioeconomic circumsatnces. They work in hard, dangerous and sometimes back breaking conditions. You line of finding happiness within is nothing more that meaningless nonsense. .

socialism is for a more just and even society where wealth is held in common by the preople who produce it as apposed to now where power and wealth is concentrated in the hands of a few. Socialism as advocated by Marx, Engles, Lenin , trotsky and Luxenburg repluses authoritarian rule such as Stalinism. You will find complete rejection in marxist literature. Socialism will never be allowed to emerge  in any country especially the poor countries where the rich need to exploit. Look at history, Chile, Indonesia, Vietnam, Congo, Nigargua, Haiti, etc etc. Look at the venom today by the corporate media towards Venezuela. Any policy shift slightly to the left that will transfer some wealth downwards instead up is unacceptable to the few that are in control. Socialist principles such as direct democracy are key to a more equitable society. We are now in a period of limited resources where things that we once in andundance are now scarce. The current system of so called competition is now unsustainable. We are in a time where its all about co-operation.

Its impossible to find an Utopian system any where, as you really can't make everyone happy.

 I feel, a democratic form of government with a mixed economy ( economy controlled both by private investors and the state ) is not a bad system under the present times. State should have its entreprises in education, health, core sectors, energy, transportation etc. to moderate the market and check undue rise in prices.

True communism / socialism is also a good form of economy in which the government is fair to its subject and there are no corrupt bureaucrats.

COMMUNISM AND CAPITALISM

NEXT ON THE AGENDA!

SPIRITUALISM!

There is absolutely no way that you will ever find happiness within from a political agenda. Like what Slip and Pinkyhr have said. From the inside my friend! It's like wandering around in a dazed and confused state and then oneday it just doesn't make sense anymore .... The world is abound in food and resources yet there is so much greed and turmoil over these bountiful resources. How could we allow these greedy few to cause us so much strife and allow ourselves to be deceived and lied to?

Just a thought........ Leave it over for someone else to add to this I guess.

Peace.

No system can provide happiness or fulfillment. It is up to the individual to attain these for himself/herself.
