It didn't. Communism hasn't been tried except at the tribal/village level (you're getting confused because some people called themselves communist). My point is that capitalism is in the process of destroying the world, so it hasn't "won" anything and may well lose the entire human experiment thanks to the greed of a few short sighted individuals. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
