Communism and Capitalism

Chesterton quote of the day: "You cannot combat Communism with certainty of its defeat if the people themselves do not recognise instinctively why Communism is wrong. You cannot prevent the spread of Socialism if its faults are not clearly apparent. You cannot replace Capitalism easily, if the majority of those around you do not see the principal reasons why Capitalism has failed."

You cannot defeat capitalism if it is posed as the only alternative to communism.

Distributism has some interesting possibilities, but I prefer a mix of libertarian political principles with socialist economics.
