 * Three Arguments to Choose Capitalism Instead of Communism**

By Nelva Villalvazo

“History suggests that Capitalism is a necessary condition for political freedom” Milton Friedman. Capitalism is a better social system that communism. Even though capitalism has some disadvantages, it is a better choice. Because communism system does not help society, it must be eradicate. So, another option is capitalism. It offers some advantages or benefits to a nation, also in the world. Capitalism is a better social system than communism because it is against utopian thinking and it respects freedom or autonomy.

Capitalism does not follow an utopian thinking. People who believe on communism have thought about impossible ideas to articulate and purse anything like a coherent strategy for radical change (Garner & Garner, 2011). The Soviet Union is the example that says that socialism is not progressive and its failure demonstrates that progress is an inherently meaningless concept (Garner & Garner, 2011). Communism system does not reflect progress for society. According to Koelble & Lipuma (2006), “Due to the ascension of circulatory capitalism and a new productive order, the received forms of state power and national sovereignty are becoming less politically meaningful in respect to processes of governmentality” (p.606). So, Capitalism is focused in progress by process not only by worthless ideas. For that reason, people on the capitalism is against the communism because this one is focused on utopian thinking

Capitalism respects freedom or autonomy of everyone. “In communism terms such as freedom and democracy have been captured by capitalist ideologues and have been lost to the left” (Garner & Garner, 2011, p.94). In addition these authors think that on elections there is only one party, so people decided to eliminate a set of institutions designed to use the power (Garner & Garner, 2011). In consequence that there are not many parties in order to choose only one, they prefer to eliminate the possibility to vote. Also “Capitalism is producing a global financial market and accompanying social institutions that engender economic constrains and threaten political consequences so powerful that they are coercing the entire gamut of regime types, from authoritarian to adopt a neo-liberal version of democracy favoured by these markets” (Koelble & Lipuma, 2006, p.606). This means that with variety of markets there are more power distributed in many people not only in one person. In addition, having a variety of places to work offers a wide gamut of jobs. Capitalism offers to distribute the power to everyone not in a dictator.

On the other hand, many people think that communism is a better social system because capitalism is based on private property. Blackledge (2009) says, “Capitalism miseducates people to perceive themselves primarily as consumers for whom success in life is increasingly judge through the medium of the successful acquisition of consumer goods” (pp. 869-870). Nevertheless, “The rich countries have adopted new technologies to increase and wealth while poor countries have adopted technologies to increase the speed of production while, at the same time, utilizing in terms of cheap labour” (Koelble & Lipuma, 2006, p.610). Because people who has a communism system does not receive enough money for working, it does not help to the society. On the other hand, people who believe in capitalism promotes to use new technologies, working, and receiving remuneration. Even though capitalism is based on private property, is a better social system than communism.

Capitalism system is better than communism system. Some people prefer one system instead of the another one. Both systems have advantages and disadvantages. But communism have more disadvantages than capitalism because it does not support as well to the society who live beneath that system. From my point of view, I prefer capitalism system because it involves whole the society not a dictator. Capitalism is a better social system than communism because it is against utopian thinking and it respects freedom or autonomy.
