I think that it is pretty much known now that communism did not work. It suffered from the same issues as capitalism in that it benefited the ruling elite far more than the proletariat. There are benefits to both systems but they must both be tempered with something else. What do we do? Responsibly controlled capitalism? Communism with consumer control? I really don't know and, as that is one of the questions that has been worrying the top economic minds for centuries, I don't think it is going to be solved by soap box politicians on a folk music forum.

In my opinion.
