They have broken promises because they are incompetent. That is why we have a bad economy because that is how socialism and communism work in a capitalist society.

You misunderstand me, I wasn't implying communism results in prosperity, I'm saying the idea of 'communism in a capitalist society' is inherently contradictory. In communism there are no markets because the economy is centrally planned, and the state controls the means of production. A country with a market economy and non-state owned corporations is still practicing capitalism regardless of whether taxes are high or low, or how how much social services they provide. I'm not gonna try and tell you those things are good, but they aren't communism

Communism fails period. It is contradictory to Economics. The Free Market works things out like Medicare Part D insurance companies offering free silver sneakers gym passes to members so they can exercise and get less sick. That isn't communism it is welfare capitalism.
