    Good addition to the topic – discussion on BBC
    “Has 20 years of capitalism been good for E Europe?

    On 6 February, Poland marks 20 years since the start of talks between the communists and the opposition, led by Solidarity’s Lech Walesa. Is capitalism delivering for Polish workers?”

    very interesting indeed

    I like these two opinions

    Capitalism is monopolization of resources and communism is monopolization of political power. In most societies the two would eventually become one and one body controls both monopolies. If this body can also fool the people it is also called democracy.
