what is the main criticism of capitalism by communists?
Recessions/depressions plague capitalism. Capitalists are always trying to make the working class less powerful (like in Wisconsin with union busting). Furthermore, there is an unequal education system. Some people get a top notch education system, and get all the opportunities for success. Others receive an education which doesn't prepare them for success. Under capitalism, poor people are constantly prosecuted for petty crimes (drugs, gambling), while rich people aren't prosecuted for white collar crimes which have a greater negative impact on society. Lastly, under capitalism it is harder for people of different classes to relate to each other, because they have such a different upbringing, and life experiences.
