I'm confused

Firstly, hello again, I've been on holiday.:)

Secondly, on said vacation, over a cumulative 18 hours on a flight, I truly considered communism, Marxism and the like, fully, comprehensively and extensively, for the first time. And, upon a rational, humanistic and entirely logical plane, I am quite enamoured. However, having deplored it for nigh on a year, and having read countless capitalist dissertations, I am now confused as to what I should truly support. Help.

Wow, when I'm on holiday I tend to consider the best way to discretely view the topless sunbathers.

Mind you, if you've fallen in love with Marxism, my holidays are clearly the more productive. :rolleyes:

You could realize that human nature will never allow communism to work. Then I would suggest that you take another vacation and turn your brain off.

Human nature is what prevents any but the most regulated forms of Capitalism from working.

Communism would work
Communism would work well
Communism is the sex

But only if there are ONLY communists around.
Solutions. Seperate commune or country
Kill the capitalists.

It really doesn't matter what you support. The people in power support capitalism subject to more or less regulation depending on which millionaire captain of industry or millionaire politician you ask.

Controlled capitalism.

Limit the gap between the rich and the poor. If you pay your employs x than you can only make 100x. (100 is a random number.) This is only for corporations.

Try initiating a Marxist revolution in this country. Actually, try your school first. If it fails, Marxism isn't the way forwards.

Collapsed eventually, didn't it? Just like capitalism will. Anyway, it was highly oppressive to those at the bottom end of it, and was clearly designed to benefit those at the top. Now, feudalism on the other hand...:p

I'm more of a Socialist myself.

Well, I do have to say that even if you reject communism, you are likely to do so on its own merits, which is more than I can say for the majority of people who reject communism.

I also like to put worchesteshire and soy sauce in my ramen/ramien/ramun noodles.

Different strokes, I suppose.

Well wait...you hated communism and socialism for ages, and then actually thought about it and liked it? Why don't you read up on it even more and then make an informed decision?
