Capitalism versus communism debate
Because communism has already become fairly discredited, I would much rather see a debate in which one side argues for democratic socialism, which has been successfully practiced in many countries, and the other side attempt to argue in favor of American capitalism, which in practice is actually a plutocracy for government and neoliberalsim and unchecked capitalism for its economic policies.
The argument that societies have only two choices, capitalism and communism or some other totalitarian form of government, is a false one. Socialism has been given a bad name because if its critics constantly lumping it in with communism, falsely and bringing up the boogeymen of Mao and Stalin... But unfortunately, most Americans are too ignorant about politics and economics, along with being brainwashed by the corporate media, so they fall for it...
