Capitalism is when you're good at building car, Communism is when you're good at building train. This is why the Soviet Union was Communist, Japan and China are mixed economies, and why America was capitalist but now is feudal.

There’s nothing like reading about the Palaeolithic to give you a bit of historical perspective. Today I read of a single tool-making culture within the Palaeolithic that lasted for the same length of time that separates the Egyptian Old Kingdom and the Moon landings
