I know you don't agree, that's why I think you're wrong.

Communism is a lovely idea, I support the goals you want it to achieve, and I'm sure there's a species out in the universe that would function quite well with it. Not Humans though, too greedy, too vein, too convinced they are right.

And maybe you think your better and it wont happen with your particular brand, but I know it will, it'll end in suffering like the rest.

I support Capitolism because so far it has allowed more humans in history to thrive than ever before, and I don't need a better answer than that.

Communism does work, though. I am not sure what you're actually trying to say. Moreover, the biggest reductions in poverty have come from Socialist countries like China, meanwhile Capitalism is in decline. That's only natural, as Capitalism decays.

I've never seen it provide the same comfort and stability that a capitolistic system can. Where is communism working?

What do you mean by "providing the same comfort?" What are you comparing it to, peer countries, or Imperialist ones like the United States? China is Socialist and is becoming the undisputed world power, while dramatically reducing poverty. The Soviet Union was better for its people than modern Capitalism has been, or former Tsarism.
