Why Capitalism is Still Viable?
Recently, there has been a backlash in the economic sector of most countries with citizens crying foul of how capitalism is unfair to the system. The question is to know whether it needs regulation or we need to switch to communism and socialism.
Modern day Russia, previously the Soviet Union, is famous for building concentration camps during the Soviet era. They were inhumane and put people through adverse living conditions. Alksndr Solzhenitsyn describes the situation as the "Gulags of the Archipelago." People were used as slaves and put in small tiny rooms with no light, minimum food, and those who opposed the system were assimilated and locked further away from the rest of the people or taken to the fields and tortured to death. During Alexndr's stay in the Gulags, he learnt that humans would beat their morals and become animals then try to justify their actions by stating the ideologies which they served under. Anybody who visits the historical "gulags" which are now museums is utterly shocked and would not want to associate with socialism, having seen what innocent people went through to live under such a system.
