I'm now 53 years old, and english is'nt my first language, and when I was young, we did'nt learn that much in school.
I was young in the late 60- and 70-, and became a communist when I was 19, at college.
Until the late 80', I was quite "red". It's not a period I want to talk much about, but I learned much there - but I also closed at lot of doors in my brain.
I have'nt been active in politics since early 90's, and from then, my social situation allowed me to study a lot more.
The first thing I read, was "The Wealth of Nations". I think the book was quite facinating, and I began thinking about my point of view. Is communism the answer?
For several years, I've been frustrated. The answer for me is either communism, or pure capitalism. Recently, I have'nt voted, because I don't belive in a "hybrid"-system - communism and capitalism combined, which all major partys support.
Now, I don't know. I somehow support the freedom aspect of capitalism, but I also think "Das Kapital" is the best text ever written to explain the market.
Just now, the thing that I hate most, is all the political parys that think communism and capitalism can be combined.
Can anyone tell me - why is capitalism better than communism, if a system which Marx describled, existed?
