The Difference Between Communism and Capitalism

What’s the difference between a capitalist and a communist?

A capitalist believes the people should have the power… the economic and financial power. A communist believes the government should have all economic power but lie and tell the people that they own everything as a collective; it’s just managed by the government on their behalf. 

What’s the difference between the result of capitalism and communism? 

Under capitalism, over the last 100 years, 90% of worldwide poverty was eliminated. When issues arise and people are taken advantage of, representative governments of the West pass legislation and use the system of justice to hold wrongdoers accountable. 

But if communists get power, the answer is clear thanks to history: millions of people die. It’s not funny. These people cannot get power in our country. 

When communists, specifically men, speak in a violent, aggressive, or threatening way about women who believe in economic independence, stand strong in their own convictions rooted in freedom and empowerment of all human beings, it’s a sign of their emptiness. 

When our opponents speak this way about us and carry the values they do, it’s a sign that we are righteous in our pursuits. 

In simpler terms- when a communist wants you silenced or dead, take it as a badge of honor. It means you’re doing something right.
