Capitalism
This entire week we have been discussing the systems of capitalism and communism, and how it relates to the people and philosophy. I've learned that in capitalism the workers don't have any control over the means of production and not even the necessities of surviving. While the rich people who contribute less work get rewarded with the control of means of production and the profit of work. Communism on the other hand seems to be a better idea as described by one of the philosophers, its sort of a robin hood system where the wealth is distributed evenly within the poor people. However no real form of communism have been display in other countries, so there is no telling weather it could be a better replacement for Capitalism. Anyone have any thoughts?

I would not say it would exactly represent a "Robin Hood" system, but I understand what you mean. In a true communist society everyone would be the same and there would not be any poor people to help. Everyone is equal. My question is, what kind of wealth would everyone have?
