Go and check out the Master Maja Rushie at work. This is a great interchange between defining actual communism and defending capitalism.Here are some gems. First, on how the girl could discuss what a real communist society would look like:
RUSH: Here. It's very simple. It wouldn't take much work. It would be accurate.
CALLER: Really? Okay.
RUSH: Yeah, you could do it on one page. "How to Create a Communist System."
CALLER: Okay.
RUSH: To create a communist society: the first thing you do is you build a wall around wherever the people live, either the country or the county or the city. Then you put security checkpoints on top of the wall at various places and if anybody tries to get out, you kill them.
CALLER: Okay.
RUSH: You take away every bit of freedom that they have. Everybody that works will work for the state and will make the same amount of money. It won't be much. There will be no achievement allowed, no excellence allowed. The only people who will make out will be those who lead this community -- its president, its Politburo; I've got to use the right terms -- or what have you. It's misery. It is forced misery and death if you try to escape it. It's prisons. It is mind control. It is denial of free media and truth. It is suppression of any statement that opposes the government. Do that, and the guy ought to give you an A and probably think you have a good future.
Then, in talking about defending capitalism:
RUSH: It is people who propose alternatives that need to defend their failures. Capitalism has brought more prosperity to more people in the history of the world than any other system. Every other system has brought misery, disappointment and failure. But capitalism, this country, is the richest country in the world. We feed the world; we feed ourselves. We defend the world. We defend ourselves. Our population has the largest life expectancy in -- well, it's close to the largest. We do have problems. It's not perfect, but we do things as a country, as a younger nation, than any other civilization has accomplished in however long it lasted.
There is more commonwealth produced in this country; there is more opportunity in this country; there's more prosperity than the human race has ever known.
Go and read the whole thing.
