English isn ' t your first language , is it ? in what way would the lack of incentives make people not want to eat ? I don ' t know where the fuck you got eating from , this is about working . Jobs . Money . That sort of thing . Nobody would die if they couldn ' t prosper more than the other person , instead of telling me to explain how communism can work , why don ' t you actually examine the reason capitalism doesn ' t work ? Um . You don ' t think capitalism works ? Its the only working system right now . If it didn ' t work , we wouldn ' t be communicating right now . Here ' s a list of countries with capitalist systemsBahrain , Georgia , Hong Kong , Isreal , Japan , Kuwait , Macau , Mauritius , Singapore , South Korea , Taiwan , Thailand and United Arab Emirates , Albania , Austria , Belgium , Bulgaria , Croatia , Cyprus , Czech Republic , Denmark , Estonia , Finland , France , Germany , Greece , Iceland , Ireland , Italy , Latvia , Luxemborg , Macedonia , Malta , Netherlands , Norway , Portugal , Romania , San Marino , Slovakia , Slovenia , Spain , Sweden , Switzerland and United Kingdom , Cape Verde , South Africa and Uganda , Barbados , Belize , Bermuda , Canada , El Salvador , Guatemala , Jamaica , Mexico , Panama and United States of America , Chile and Peru , Australia , New Zealand and Samoa . Here ' s a fun fact only 2 . 04 % of countries right now are Communist . And that ' s counting China and Vietnam , who had to use capitalist SEZ ' s to keep their economies running . That ' s done from 14 . 2 % about 50 years ago . Do you know why that number is low ? Because their economies collapsed . They failed . THEY DIDN ' T WORK . The remnants of those countries are now capitalist . Because that ' s a system that works . A ' dangerous ' distribution of wealth in favor of the rich , does not collapse a country . A communist society which forces people into occupations , sets prices , and has a standard wage collapses a country . Communist countries could not compete in the global economy because their entire function is to eliminate competition . I ' m not talking about eating , I have no clue where the hell you got that from . Go take civics .
