Communism vs capitalism milad jangalvaee
The document provides an overview of the key differences between capitalism and communism. Under capitalism, individuals are allowed to own private property and keep the profits from their work. There is no safety net for those who are poor or sick. Communism aims to create a classless society where the means of production are publicly owned and operated. Housing, food and other necessities are provided by the government. Everyone is treated equally and shares the same economic status under communism.
