What is Democracy ? Communism ? Capitalism ? Do you really know ?

Face it : Chances are high that you DO think that you know what Democracy, Communism, Capitalism, Fascism are. In fact, you are pretty sure of it. In the end, you are very probably living in a democratic country. Or at least you were taught all of these during your education, right?

Well… Don’t be so fast.

The reality is, even in developed countries, majority of the population can’t properly define any of these concepts. And even the ones who are well-read, college-educated, informed (that’s probably you!) have major misconceptions about them and they make major mistakes when defining these concepts.

    Outstanding Article! 5/5 We are not properly educated on the different systems as to maintain the status quo. Capitalism has used PR or Propaganda to dumb people down into thinking that they live in a Democracy, and a healthy Democracy requires Capitalism. Everything else is of course evil or impossible to setup. Its a complete and utter fabrication.

      Exactly. I refrained from elaborating how wealth conditions people and shapes public opinion and perceptions to the extent that they make them think ‘capitalism is freedom’, because it is another detailed subject.
