Yea tell that to the two million Bolsheviks who died under Communist rule, or the million or so that died during the Chinese cultural revolution, and why is it people are trying to escape from North Korea but not South? And when Germany was divided why did people try to escape from East to West Germany and not the reverse. Only thing Communism does is to insure death, starvation, for all and no freedoms from anyone because when you're 100% dependent upon government you have no freedom.

The only reason that China works better than Germany or the US is because it is not a communist country like Germany. Communism does not work and when China ended communism it took off like a rocket and no one is close to catching up. The US is a capitalist country and is in a slow and inevitable decline similar to the UK last century. The US has nothing to offer its people except for the corruption that the elite receive so those that can are leaving as fast as they can. Anyone with a decent education knows that a tariff is a tax that the people of the country pay and that the US is quickly becoming the most heavily taxed country on earth. The UK is following quickly but those with enough money to leave do so and those are the wealth creators. Neither capitalism or communism can work and the real problem is that ideology is for the gullible. If you see either as a new religion then just as with a religion you only make those in charge wealthy. A good economy must be based on common sense and both socialism to aid those that require help and capitalism to aid the wealth generation. Communism normally focusing on keeping everyone equally poor with no benefit to put your head above the parapet and try to become wealthy so no wealth. Capitalism does not help those that for any reason cannot help themselves and everyone falls at some point, so you lose everything if you have a heart attack or something. The US has the shortest life spans in the 1st world by 10 years so they have the worst living standards.

It is necessary to start with a predefinition of terms.
A commune is a family, a primary group. A very fair system. Everyone gives as much as they can and takes as much as they must. And prestige and power go to those who give more than they take. But the capitalists and the Bolsheviks changed the meaning of the concept. Communism works well in groups of up to about 150 people. There must be transparency in human behaviour.
One must stick to the original meaning. If the definition does not fit the word then a new word must be invented. Because otherwise we will never communicate. The language of science and not the language of the street people.
China today is extreme capitalism. Capitalism is good in the initial phase when there is fragmentation on the supply as well as the demand side. In its later form it leads to capital accumulation by the few. Which leads to oligarchy. Capitalism is like cannibalism, the strong feed on the weak. Capitalism takes away man's time, it takes away our lives. Freedom is the possibility to dispose of one's own time.
