Communism of course, but not Stalinism, only real (utopian) communism.
Dictatorship is not a part of original communism, it's a form of totalitarian socialism.
Capitalism is the worst form of exploitation.
Out of these, capitalism. But I'd rather have a generally free market, with a bit of regulation to prevent monopolies and such, with a welfare state.
I’m a common Commy. Deal with it.
Of course communism

Compare capitalist countries with communist ones and give me an answer.
Even Cuba removed communism from their constitution.
European countries don't have democratic socialism, unlike Bernie Sanders and his supporters say, they are capitalist economies with large welfare systems that they can only afford because they have largely outsourced their national defence to U. S. via military alliances.
u Under communism, there are no lower class people?
It doesn't sound like you understand the difference.
Capitalism rewards a person's work. If you are a lazy piece of shit, who doesn't want to learn, go to school, or make any effort to improve yourself, you will probably end up poor in a capitalist society. If you work hard, educate yourself in a good field, and make good decisions along the way, you become financially successful. Capitalism = equal OPPORTUNITY. Basically, you can choose to do whatever you want, and those decisions will reflect your outcome.
In communism / socialism, everyone is basically given welfare. It is enough to live off, but you will never live a wealthy life. In communism, the government owns the means to production, and you get a basic income.
Think of communism/socialism this way... Take an exam in school. And regardless of how hard you study, or how well you perform, every student gets the average grade. That means everyone gets a C+. And there is no possibility of you getting anything better, because communism/socialism = equal OUTCOME.
As you can see, over time, the high achievers who would have normally received an A+ will not study very hard. Why would they? They're only going to get a C+ anyway. While those who would have normally failed with an F are happy with their C+. Over time, the entire class effort declines and declines... they get lazier... but they still get their C+.
If this were applied in the US, that may mean that everyone gets the same average household (2 people) income is $60,000. Under communism/socialism, each person might get $30,000 USD for working a job. The gov't definitely isn't going to pay every citizen lavishly.
So the question is, would you be happy with communism if it meant you get to own nothing, and you had to work for a shitty salary with no means to advance your position in society?
Why do you think the USSR collapsed?
Why do you think people in Venezuela are starving to death?
It is because of communism/socialism.
Capitalism is only a cancer to lazy people. They have the opportunity to be successful, but they do not take the opportunity. And when they end up on the low income bracket, they are like the student who gets an F, and then claims to prefer communism/socialism, so that they receive that C+ instead.
As someone from an ex-Soviet country, I would say capitalism is a gift from god.
The Soviets wiped out several natives under the name of communism, countless famines and forced deportation, at least 1 million people died here because of communism. When you look at the most prosperous countries they are all capitalist. Don't give Scandinavian countries as example, Danish PM in the USA said Denmark is not communist.
Our Soviet Union subjugates the whole world
Like a gigantic bear from the East.
The sheep wander aimlessly, without any cause,
Yet the Soviet bear's on the hunt.
Our brotherhood's a good life, Our generosity is without compare.
All those with us are strong,
All those against us, beware.
It'd be a shame if we had hardships.
To all those around us, it's not worth your while
If we were to turn you to ashes.
We thank you profoundly, and bow to you deeply,
From the mightiest nation in all the world.
Communism=fear that people steal
Capitalism= Free to do what you want
Problem is that in many capitalist countries the laws are changed to help people at the top like in the USA or turkey or Saudi or Mexico etc.
However, Japan, Sweden, Germany, Norway Dubai have all shown that capitalism IF DONE right gets people better off.
Bad capitalism is the reason why communism exists.
You need to google "Venezuela". Socialism does not work. Capitalism may be sub-optimal, but it doesn't generally lead to people starving and fleeing the country in droves.
Capitalism is best. Communism (and it's "man-bun stepchild", socialism) punishes productive members of society for their hard work and dedication and rewards people that would rather stay home and polish their couches with their asses. Communism and socialism are stupid, STUPID systems... in ANY form.
I hate you all so I want communism so we can all equally suffer :)
Neoliberal capitalism is probably the biggest blight on society today. Communism for all it's ills, gave you a home, food on the table, your health looked after, education and work.
Liberal Capitalism has lifted billions out of poverty.
If i had to choose between the two i would choose Communism
i could not choose Capitalism. Right now i couldn't choose either.
If true Communism as described by Marx and Engles had ever been implemented, we could compare. But since that has never happened, I don't know.
Hmmm... not the sort of intelligent conversation one can have with a 19 year old who is probably still living at home. I agree with LesbianBusinessWoman , and damn, I wish I was a lesbian !! :)
Definitely capitalism.
5 minutes in a communist country is a quick teacher.
National Socialism.
Capitalism/Communism are two side of the same kosher shekel...
Between extreme communism and capitalism, i'd take communism. In moderation I think capitalism is better
Uh, capitalism, obviously. What kind of dumbass question is this?
Capitalism coz when it's helping rich then it's also helping poor.
Communism as long as the leaders are not tyrans.
