When companies fail, people pay the price in terms of lowered living standards and grinding poverty.
And you can point at Russia all you like and say communism doesn’t work, but that is meaningless, as it was NOT properly applied, as people who have read Marx would know, You should know what it is and what its intentions are before you criticise it, if you do that’s fine but otherwise pointing at Russia and making assumptions is not good. Much argument is based around the fact that “it will fail?” Where is the evidence for this? (I repeat Russia/China was not communism as Marx intended) the evidence for the failure of capitalism all around us, it is in Afghanistan, it is in the 3rd world and it is in the companies we work for and in the people who govern us, try reading some of the theory and thoughts of Marx and thinking up your own meaningful ideas of great significance as to why communism would fail, if it was applied on a global scale without the capitalist elements needed at the moment for outside trade would it really fail? You probably do not have enough facial hair to understand or appreciate communism, being clean-shaven only helps the capitalists.
