It's great if everyone contributes to the system but all it takes is a brief look at any of the communist countries in the world to see how human spirit works in that system.
Actually, we have seen that the communism in large scales does not work. However, it has been proven that a small scale communism could work greatly. There are small towns in Israel that adopted a communist system, and they had great successes.
A couple nights ago, I went to watch a local high school volleyball game and witnessed a very ugly side of capitalism. In the middle of gym was a permanant sign post that advertised a local engineering company. It seems that the high school gym program was a little short on money and took the money from them in exchange for advertisement. In the music building, they were in the process of putting a sign that says "The music program sponsored by such and such corporation" We are talking about high school here. What's wrong with this picture?
