The Difference Between Communism and Capitalism

Whilst hanging around in Lenin's Tomb the other day, I was privileged to witness a convocation of weighty intellectuals from across the world engaged in erudite contention.

Two broad coalitions strenuously pursued the conclusion that their favoured sociopolitical paradigm could beat up the other side's favoured sociopolitical paradigm.


The main comparator was, by unspoken consensus, to be the historically recorded number of people that had died under each system, virtue being inversely proportional to the number of dead. It was a no score draw.

This seems a poor way to pick your politics.
