Communism vs. Capitalism

[Sense-A]

Precisely as you said it.

Abundance, saturation, reduces profit.

How disgusting is this system where we have enough rice to feed the world, but to keep from driving the price of rice down, rice companies in Britain for example find it profitable instead to dump their reserves into the sea.

Source? Does this really happen? Companies dump their own product into the sea rather than sell it? I doubt that is true. Please post where you get this information.

How disgusting is this system where we have clothing companies like H&M and American Apparel that produce more clothes than they can sell, and instead of giving to those who needed it in the communities they have businesses, they deliberately cut up all the clothes before throwing it in the dumpster.

That is funny, I didn't notice a shortage of clothing in America. Are there people freezing to death because they don't have clothes? Even poor people in this country have clothes. Man you can go to the salvation army and walk out with an entire wardrobe for less than $20. No capitalist country is going to just toss their own inventory if it is still in a good enough condition to sell. That doesn't make any sense.

How disgusting is this system where we have bookstores that have too many books and rather than giving it away, they fill a dumpster of it and set it ablaze so as to not saturate the market and drive the price of their own profit down.

Every single city I've ever lived in in the United States of America has free library access. Free PUBLIC libraries. I can go check out up to 10 books, including movies, magazines, etc. for FREE! FREE!! And I can also get a free public education for free. Nobody in America destroys their own inventory in order to drive up prices!!! What is the point of driving up prices if you destroyed your own inventory!?!?!? LOL

Part of the reason I am laughing is that book burning is something that Communists are notorious for!! In America, we are allowed to have whatever kind of books we want. Freedom of speech. I can buy books on how to shoot guns and I can buy books filled with smut porn if I want. FREEDOM! However, the soviet Union banned LOTS of books.

Censorship in the Soviet Union was pervasive and strictly enforced.
Censorship was performed in two main directions:

• State secrets were handled by Main Administration for Safeguarding State Secrets in the Press (also known as Glavlit) was in charge of censoring all publications and broadcasting for state secrets
• Censorship, in accordance with the official ideology and politics of the Communist Party was performed by several organizations:
  
  • Goskomizdat censored all printed matter: fiction, poetry, etc.
  • Goskino, in charge of cinema
  • Gosteleradio, in charge of radio and television broadcasting
  • The First Department in many agencies and institutions, such as the State Statistical Committee (Goskomstat), was responsible for assuring that state secrets and other sensitive information only reached authorized hands. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Censors...e_Soviet_Union
  
  

And communists are so stupid that they entrust their government to be in charge of the PRESS and to be in charge of all television and radio channels. Communists censor poetry, art, music, movies, etc. etc. You have no freedom of press. You do not have freedom of speech.

All media in the Soviet Union were controlled by the state including television and radio broadcasting, newspaper, magazine and book publishing. This was achieved by state ownership of all production facilities, thus making all those employed in media state employees. This extended to the fine arts including the theater, opera and ballet. Art and music was controlled by ownership of distribution and performance venues.
Censorship was backed in cases where performances did not meet with the favor of the Soviet leadership with newspaper campaigns against offending material and sanctions applied though party controlled professional organizations.

I already pointed out the ironies in that cuban revolution thread about how HIP HOP is censored in Cuba, yet so many American hip hop artists wear che guevara shirts and praise Castro. The Cuban government controls the radio station, and they control the record companies.

In America, I am not censored. I can have opposing political viewpoints and express them. I can burn the American flag and not get arrested. You go burn a Cuban flag in the street outside of Castro's house and see what happens. If you burned the soviet flag in front of the 1950s Soviet KGB, you'd mysteriously disappear.
