Communism isn't really that bad. Socialism isn't really that bad. Capitalism is good if you're a high class person.
People teach you that Capitalism is good because the bigger "Fat Cats" as a phrase Tommy Douglas likes to use, are enjoying all the money they rake in. In a Communist system, or a Socialist system, their wealth wouldn't mean as much.
Capitalism is greed. But it's not good, school is like a brainwashed system, enforced by government themselves.
The great depression happened because of greed. People put money into the stock market, (the rich people)... And when everyone bought, and it hit an all time high, they sold out, and took all of the money themselves.
Communism is good in theory but it hasn't ever been executed very well in the real world, whether you label them Communists or Capitalists, the same greedy people always want more when they have more than they could ever need.
