Why Is Capitalism Better Than Communism

Capitalism and communism are the most popular economic systems. Wars have been fought over them, people have dedicated their lives to study them and in some places, simply being a supporter or follower of either of the two can get you jailed or killed. The ideologies are the opposite of each other.
Firstly, in capitalism, the basic things like labour, capital, land resources, that an individual needs to sustain himself is owned by the individual himself. And he is free to make use of it however he pleases without any interference from the government. But in communism, the resources and other means of production are owned by the government, and are given to you to make use off, but not to own or sell. In a communist society, the profit made from a business is shared equally among the people. But this is the opposite in capitalism where the profit made belongs only to the owner of the business. In this way you can see that in communism exists a classless society with equally distributed wealth, whereas in a capitalist society the rich get richer and the poor get poorer.
You are allowed to vote for whoever you want and the government doesn’t watch over every aspect of your life. the individual is free to focus on his life and personal progress. But in communism, a totalitarian form of government exists, where the government has complete power over the individual, very few rights and the individual is not free to pursue his personal progress. But rather his focus should be on the progress of society as a whole. In capitalism exists the notion of every man for himself and if you don’t succeed you have no one and nothing to rely on. But in communism the government provides everything for you. Jobs, health care, houses
