Adhored, The same model of communism can not be practised everywhere IMO. Most of the former socialistic countries failed due to trying to imitate the communist model of previous era. I believe in 'progressism' rather than absolute 'communism' and I saw that on Obama. And the 'Change' thing is arised from that philosophy. Although I have very few knowledge about the differences between capitalism and communism in terms of capital theory but my option will go for 'less' differences between upper class and lower class.

And about the freedom for speech and humanrights, I opt for basic needs(food, cloth and shelter) before going for further fancy life. That's why the model of socialism is different depending on many parameters of a country. And the 'communism' only does nothing unless the 'communists' follow and rule correctly.

Anyway it is nice to read your thread.
