Who does Communism hurt: workers or bosses? - Christian Skeptic - 02-28-2013 07:43 PM
What I'm asking is this: was the Cold War fought for the preservation of the United States, or the preservation of class distinctions, in particular the social and economic status of the nation's wealthy minority?

It hurts both.
Communism hurts everyone because it leads to artificial poverty.

No one.
Antie Pantie, just what is artificial poverty?

Communism hurts all who wish to live in freedom.

Everyone, if we look at the long term results.

Everyone, because it doesn't promote the progress of some country. It leads to stagnation and misery.

Those at the top want supreme control and whatever system allows for that is called is only secondary. The US was only anti-communist because the nations that have embraced communism were part of an empire in opposition to the American empire. For example, Vietnam is still communist but you don't hear a peep from the media about them ever unlike China, NK, and Cuba. The Cold War was fought for the ruling elite of the West so they could maintain their power and control on their terms. Even in Communism the top heads of government live a lavish and wealthy lifestyle.

Well, it was fought for the preservation of capitalism. You can twist capitalism however you want, communism just slows economies down ramping up inflation.

Neither.

This is interesting question; see my question about Chinese labor and how they are treated.
Communism hurt all involved and fear US is turning into a Socialistic government and it is no longer a free nation.
