Where there governments successful?


 * <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">The Cuban communist government is very successful. It is one of the only governments that has been communist and that has been under the rule of Castro for a little over 50 years. Whether it's success is good is another thing, but it's defiantly successful.
 * <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">The Cuban socialist government is also very successful. Socialism is when ones government controls businesses and it Cuba, though the people might not be happy socialism is indeed successful.
 * <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">The United States is a Capitalist society, a very successful capitalist society at fact. There are millions of business' that are owned by private owners who do make a very large profit.

<span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">Out of the ideas of communism, socialism and capitalism, I would have to agree with the idea of capitalism the most. Capitalism puts the power in the hands of the people. Communism and Socialism would both deprive me of my opinion and any self success. When the government controls everything, where do the people come in? Where do our opinions come in? Where do our rights come in? Capitalism is one of the few types of government that lets the people live off of <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">their own success. However, I would hate to live in a completely capitalist government, because not many people would succeed, so a combination of capitalism and socialism would be ideal.
