They take over in "your name" and make decisions "on your behalf" and rule the country, it's the same government bull****, it's how it works.
There have been no pure communist or capitalist societies that work.. they just can't.. corruption is a human trait.

I don't disagree with what you've said here, but rather your comment that "communism works"

EDIT: you may also be forgetting that China is the most populous country in the world, not that I think you did, but in a system that is led by totalitarianism, not everybody gets satisfied. It's kind of hard to cram billions of people in a small area (the majority of China is mountainous, inhabitable) and make everybody rich and happy. The US is like.. what.. 1% urbanized? There's not even enough people in the entire country to fill one major Chinese city.

And that's why Democracy and free enterprise will ALWAYS be better than Communism.
Your level of satisfaction/success in America is directly related to the amount of effort you put into it. That philosophy doesn't hold true in communist societies.....as you stated, "not everybody gets satisfied".
