Could they be sustainable? by Milota Sidorova

We're not living in era of any consistent political system. Communism as well as capitalism changed and even if media speak of „communist“ leaders or „capitalist“ models and free market, it don't really exist. It's been all changed and hybridized, influenced by new models. On the other hand, some of the greatest philosophers suggest that no idea is sustainable in human society in long-term. If we want to speak of social benefits of communism we should better lower down the scale and talk about it between individuals and even in this case it would be far far ago. If we want to talk about communism, it's better to talk about Marx. If we want to talk ab! out capitalism and so called „free market“ we should better come back to history as well, since our system remains more of corporation ridden hybrid capitalism. We are living in era when governments generously support any bigger corporation, prevent it from bankruptcy, assuring free flow of taxpayers' money that in the most extreme cases lead into deepening debt laid on several more future generations. We are far from times when anyone could make up his own business and challenge rivals thinking it would go that smoothly. The questions remain – how will this all end? Where is the fragile boundary between healthy social politics and corruption and unproductive dependency on state funds? Where is a sense of possibilities for creative and responsible business and lobbying killing not only business rivals, but deepening unemployment and having serious consequences on environment? If we look at our so called „political system labels“, we won't be c! ertainly not surprised by Fidel Castro's quote : „commun! ist mode l is not working in Cuba“. Castro and the whole government realized the fundamental change in Cuban society and named it out loud. He says in the time when his brother Raul Castro reports major changes and cutting steps – reduction of state employees, and decreasing some traditional funds. It will be the first change seen in the light abandoning the message of „revolution“. But still, it would be far from any capitalist solutions. How could we talk about capitalist solutions if the most serious damages were caused by international business embargo, ridden by „capitalist“ U.S.?
