Neither capitalism nor communism is the solution

Opinion from the Internet on communism, socialism:

“Each New Generation brings issues. The less Communist/Socialist Countries, the closer to World Peace. A dictator, does not allow people to decide their own fate, but forces them to do it their way.

We will always see conflict within each Nation.

People who cannot accept the fact that their mental and physical state relegates them to a certain type of job and income, will expect others to expend money and energy to make them equal.”

I am sorry to disagree.

You discard basically most of Human history, how we destroyed - and still destroying - civilizations, nations, cultures, enslaving the masses through colonization, reckless capitalism, grabbing power, profit for a small minority.

Communism, socialistic ideas are relatively new, they came as a reaction to the completely inhuman attitude of “the weak are meat, the strong will eat”, or as we misinterpret Darwin, that the “strongest bully” has the right to survive.

Since inherent Human nature is raw capitalistic, self-serving, self-justifying, individualistic and exploitative, this kind of arrangement - the stronger, more egotistic minority exploiting, enslaving the weaker, less egotistic majority - is the most prevalent theme of Human civilizations and the recurring destruction.

Even our present Western civilization is self-destructing for the same reason and the nostalgic dreaming about socialism, communism is a reaction again.

Communism, socialism is not the solution either - as we already know - since the above mentioned inherent Human nature will distort, corrupt it the same way, oppressing, enslaving the masses for the benefit of the few.

We will find true solutions only when we understands our inherent Nature and start changing, fine-tuning, upgrading ourselves, learning how to adapt the inherently raw capitalist Human into Nature's fully integrated, interdependent “Communistic” system without coercion, oppression, misleading propaganda.
