If you need to see the difference between Communism and Capitalism, just look at North and South Korea.
An identical people, with identical culture. South Korea is thriving, exporting sophisticated products, becoming rich. Producing computer parts that compete in quality with Japan.
North Korea is completely dependent on gifts from other nations, exports only prohibited weapons and drugs, and 2 million of its people may die of hunger this year.
I don't know if North Koreans feel this "collective freedom" that you speak of. I know there will be fewer of them to feel anything soon. I know that free countries do not suffer famines and that India produced enough for its people only after it de-nationalized the farmers.
