Is There Any Difference Between Capitalism & Communism?

For a start, neither system works-yes, each has had its 'successes' that might prove otherwise, but both, have, inevitably fallen down.

The collapse of Communist USSR and its satellite states in the late 80's/early 90's might well have been the first indicator that the capitalism system, those countries that glorified in the perceived defeat of communism, would surely follow?

As now seems to be the case-Greece, Iceland, Ireland, Italy soon...?

It seems to indicate that the relationship between capitalism and communism is symbiotic and, far from wanting to defeat the other, their needs are for their polar opposites to be strong so they are able to maintain their own position.

I don't think you can have one without the other-so what succeeds both, a modern form of feudalism?
