Communism
Vs. Capitalism
a.
Ownership of means of production
The primary point
of difference between capitalism and communism is regarding the ownership of
'means of production' or resources in general. Communism shuns
private/individual ownership of land or any vital resources. Instead, all the
'means of production' like land and other resources should be owned by the
state. All land and resources which enable the production of goods and services
will be owned by one and all. Everything will be shared. All decisions about
production will be made by the whole community by democratic means. There will
be equal wages for all. All the decisions taken will be according to what is
good for all.
On the other hand,
capitalism believes in private ownership of land and means of production. Every
man will have to earn his worth. The major share of the profits earned from a
business will go to the person who owns the means of production, while the
workers who are responsible for running the business will get a small share.
b.
Individual Freedom
Capitalism gives
more importance to individual aspirations and appeals to the inherent selfish
nature, which is inherent in all human beings. This inherent selfishness, is a
result of the instinct of self-preservation.
Communism appeals
to our more saintly side, wherein we think about others before ourselves. It is
a noble thought, which goes against the inherent selfish nature of most people,
though it is appealing to their generous natures.
