I don't disagree but I see Capitalism/Communism as two sides of the same system
with us presently in the phase where Eastern Communism merges with Western
Capitalism which will be destined to collapse into the new world system.

There will always be the haves and the have nots, elites and non-elites. This
will occur in all systems old or new which have been authorised for our use.
