Hi B.V.,
With great interest I have read your paper “From Capitalism to Communism (Classification of Socio-Economic Systems)”. I agree with proposed classification. But, I would like to express some of my concerns.
All dictatorial regimes in the 20th century, Nazism in Germany, Fascism in Italy and Spain, military dictatorship in Japan before the 2nd World War, and the regime of Pinochet in Chile, the military regime in South Korea in 50-60 years of 20 century eliminated political freedoms (freedom of press, free elections, freedom of different opinions and political parties, etc.) but not concerned that the most important moment in a person's life-private property.
The presence of private property allows you to have economic freedom. When the above-mentioned regimes, there was private ownership of land, housing, property and services. Market relations acted in production and sale of agricultural products, in the production of goods and services. Though Nazism made formal nationalization, but, for example, Krupp remained the Manager of their enterprises.
The only and the first in the world regime, when from all the people as political and economic freedom were taken and abolished the institution of private property was the socialism of Lenin or Soviet type regime. Lenin followed literally the teachings of Marx, who argued that private property is evil and freed from her people to be “happy”.
It was a barracks type of socialism, which with admiration argued in the book Utopia Thomas More. Any private initiative was suppressed, all decisions concerning everyday life has taken the party bureaucrats. It is known that China, Cuba and Eastern Europe went down this path. We are contemporaries of this type of state was economically inefficient and collapsed.
But how many millions of lives have been is lost in carrying out this crazy idea.
