both capitalism and communism each have their own flaws and hence are far from perfect, and i doubt that we humans will ever be capable of conceiving any single system which is perfect i.e. no suffering, equal distribution of wealth etc. i believe that humans are created equal for play in this game of life but then as in any game there always are winners and losers.

I agree. This boom-bust of economies and socio-political shifts back and forth between capitalism and socialism have always recurred through out history. The only stable way is a system of balance between capitalism and socialism. But above all is the importance of basic human rights. No amount of money is more important that the human rights of people and that is the point that the people in the video are making.

when economies worldwide are booming and there's an overall positive outlook on things, the capitalists feel like the good times have just begun and will never end, at the same time touting the inefficacy and "repression" of communism. however once the world crashes and goes bust these socialists come out and call for a revolution via a "class struggle" like it's the end of the world and complain about the injustice and "oppression" of capitalism. this has happened every time since the cold war.

It is not as simple as it was when in the cold war.
We have to talk about social justice, human rights( as our friend just said) , economic equality and emancipation for the lower classes. I think that things will happen when we stop being so individualist and selfish . We need to start dealing with ourselves and with the eviroment in a different way. For me it is a matter of values. We have to change ours.

The world is being treated like a frazzled rock-star - years of alcohol and cocaine abuse (crude capitalism and environmental dumping), strange behaviour bordering on mental illness (climate change), yet despite needing help and a complete detox, still wheeled out to do another summer stadium tour (economic model persists despite previous meltdowns). In the end, this rock star will have money, but would have lost the mental and moral capapcity to know what to do with it.
