Is Socialism ( not communism ) the only cure to the bondage and slavery that Capitalism creates?

The fault in your thinking is that Communism existed long before 99 cent stores or even before Walmart. In fact, Communism existed long before we started trading with China and we never did trade with Communist USSR.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
