[A83] Re: One more statment from Hays Games Company
Actually, communism is more than just an economic system. Totalitarianism
is a government that holds all power, not just political
controls. Socialism is an economic system marked by collective (ie.,
state) ownership, most especially of industry. Communism is both of these
together. There are many countries in Europe whose economies are to a
degree socialistic (not necessarily a bad thing) and have democratic
governments (or some form of constitutional monarchy), and there are also
many countries around the world that have totalitarian governments but do
not practice socialism. Don't get them confused. Btw, if you're at all
interested in this sort of thing, I would highly recommend reading 1984 by
George Orwell - its quite a statement about communist-like philosophy (and
also proves my point about communism being both a political and economic
system). Later.
