Which one do you prefer?

Both have pros and cons.

In communism, lazy people will get benefits.

In capitalism, poor will remain poor and rich will remain rich.
Personally, I feel like many communist countries are full of poor people because if everyone gets the same benefits no matter how hard they work, nobody will really work as hard and the country becomes less prosperous. Of course there really is no such thing as pure capitalism since the government will always intervene in some form or another, but capitalism in general seems to result in a more prosperous population all around.
I prefer social democracy. It's similar to what many European countries have. It leans more on communism than capitalism though.
There's no such thing as socialism? Tongue

The goal of socialism and communism are almost the same, but socialism is a more democratic type. Marxism, to be precise. But I am a social liberal myself.
A mix of both is good, moderation is always good. I prefer more socialistic qualities than capitalism, but I like some of capitalism's ideals, such as you can go places with hard work.
