Can you point to a single instance of a socialist economy working better
than a capitalist economy in the same sort of conditions?  Or for that
matter, of a real communist utopian state evolving out of a socialist
state, as Marx predicted?  I don't know what sorts of attacks on capitalism
te origonal poster was refering to, but most of them that I have heard
involve the "social injustice" of capitalism. They seldom consider the
social injustice in socialist countries, which is certainly much greater
than in most capitalist countries.
