Why are capitalist views the most popular views today?

Capitalistic views seem to be most dominant economic system across the globe but why is that? Capitalism promotes motives towards the people under the economy which in favor boosts that country’s economy. Not only will the government be appreciative and like capitalism but so will the people under the rule. Capitalism is primarily the only economic system that actually works for both its people and the government.

Could true communism exist today?

Some countries to this day claim they are purely communist but obviously have their flaws. Is it possible today to even have a true communist country? An example of an issue that renders a pure communist country impossible would be the no leaders policy. The country is to be run by the people. The problem with this would be the difficulty in exchanging negotiations and trade agreements with other countries. Another problem with it would be finding a representative for the country in events such as UN Meetings or the Olympics. If there is a representative, would that country then still be considered truly communist?

What if Mao ruled like Stalin?

Mao was a communist leader that is portrayed as less brutal than Stalin. But what if he was worse? Instead of cow sheds, what if he had his own prison like the gulags Stalin had? If Mao were to have a prison, like the Gulag, how would it have affected today’s China and would the prison still be around? I believe China may be in a more true communist state today if Mao enforced his laws more brutally. The more strict laws would impose more obedient citizens and change how we would look at China today.

Cuban Missile Crisis

The Cuban Missile Crisis is an event that affected the US/Soviet relations in a really negative way, almost causing these two great superpowers to go to war. The USSR  had just become Allies with Cuba because of the US deciding to invade Cuba in an attempt to overthrow Fidel Castro. Cuba was so close to the US, so they decided to take advantage of it. The USSR sent their missiles to Cuba and gave them first strike capability which scared the US. The US took quick action on this by asking the USSR to take the missiles out of Cuba immediately because that will lead to war. People were really tense because of this and were thinking that war was inevitable. However, the Soviets and the US didn't really want to go to war so the Soviets and the US tried to reach to an agreement. The Soviets said they would take their missiles out of Cuba if the US promised not to attack Cuba. The US agreed and the USSR took their missiles out of Cuba relieving all tension. This was a significant event, but luckily, the US and the USSR didn't go to war.

Non Communist China

Today we have the UN, but before the start of WWII we had the League of Nations. Now we know that the power struggle in China began just before the start of WWII when Japan invaded China. We also know that the League of Nations did nothing to stop Japan. But if the League of Nations was actually able to stop Japan from invading would China have come out a different country then it is today? Also do you believe that because China is communist the worlds economy is better?

British Inventions during WWII

Britain the one country who fought for the entirety of WWI and WWII ( Unlike the Americans), wasn't seen as a super contributor to WWII. People say the only reason the Allies won was because of the US. Yet Britain did a lot more then what people know. One of the first things invented in Britain at the start of WWII was the radar. Yes the British did in fact invent the radar. They used this technology to their advantage during the Battle of Britain in the 1940's. The Brits also built the first computer. And no the well known U.S. company Apple did not, I say did not invent the first computer( so hah ten points for G.B.). The computer first computer was in fact used to crack the German code. So all in all Britain was a huge contributor during WWII.

What If Hitler Didn't Kill The Jews

What if Hitler did not try and exterminate the Jews. Would the war have ended differently if Hitler instead of trying to kill them had them volunteer for his army? Germany most probably could have won WWII if it wasn't for the mass extermination of Jews. Think about how many strong young men where sent of to death camps just because they where Jews. Do you think Nazi Germany could have won the war if they had recruited the jews instead of trying to kill them?
