I'm not a communist - I believe in the free market and that entrepreneurs should be allowed to take risks because it creates wealth and jobs, but I draw the line at people risking other people's money. That's deplorable.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I'm not a communist, of course. But I do think that everything is down to economics. Capitalism doesn't change.
If you start free trade with a Communist country, allow them to develop their own businesses, they don't remain communistic. They become a free society when they're able to make money themselves, and we increase trade with them and allow them to really produce products.
I'm not a communist, just a media theorist.
I'm a capitalist. I believe that people take risk, and there are rewards if they do well; they should lose if they don't.
The communist model does not work economically, we all realised that, but the capitalist model in the modern world also looks to be unsustainable.
If you look at the fact that the best chance we have for a good economy is the private sector. The government cannot create jobs. If the government could create jobs, then Communism would have worked. But didn't work. So what we have to do is allow the private sector and the entrepreneurial spirit to lead us back to a job-filled recovery.
I've never said I'm a communist.
There's something about China and its rush to capitalism that I find confusing. At the same time, we live in an America where capitalists oppose any government interference with free markets, while in China you have a very controlled, state-planned market where economic growth is better than ours.
In the end, I think that people that are not willing to take the risk to fail are not true entrepreneurs.
I'm still a communist in the sense that I don't believe the world will survive with the rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer - I think that the pressures will get so tremendous that the social contract will just come apart.
