The Difference In the Ism

Capitalism -
Is every man screwing everyone else.
But communism -
On the other hand, is just the reverse.

Good poem but not your own inspiration: Original was by the late Economist John Galbraith - only he had “exploiting” insteas of “screwing” !

The title is smart, the writing is very satirical, everything here, is what I see in you. You are intellectual and a thinker. I liked this, very much. Keep smiling, Sami.
