Capitalism or Socialism?

 Having not seen it (Apocalypse Now) in forever, not sure if I'd like the Communist message that critics said it had.   I'm a Ann Rand believer in capitalism.  Trips to St. Petersberg and Cuba just hardened my view that the "pure" socialist or communist ideology just makes the ruling class very rich and everybody

else poor as dormice.  Capitalism just allows (or should allow) anyone who wants to, to work, save

and get as far as they can, many try, many fail, and many who have failed a lot, went on to provide

amazing things for the rest of us.  But I hate crony capitalism, that's unfair too and isn't capitalism 

at all, providing special favors to politically connected or lobbyists who get special favors for their 

company.  Look at all the car companies that failed in our country in the 1st half of this century.

And look at how good cars are now, mostly because each car company is in a "war" to make the 

best for the buck car they can.  Thousands of choices.  Cheap small cars, and crazy expensive 

luxury modes, something for everyone.  Under socialism, you get the Trabant (east german piece of shit car).

In a world that Bernie Sanders would have us live: "You don't necessarily need a choice of 23 underarm spray deodorants or of 18 different pairs of sneakers when children are hungry in this country."

So in that world, one deodorant, one brand of sneakers, one Trabant car for everyone.

we'd all be poor...but equal!  But Bernie would still have 3 houses....just not you.
