Capitalism is the system that has empowered "third world" countries to join the "first world", or in other words, has enabled wartorn, impoverished nations to become major global economies, as in the case of South Korea and Taiwan. Since China adapted de facto capitalism it has become arguably *the* global superpower, when the Maoists were in charge millions of people were starving to death. Maybe you wanna think about the cost of slavery, because thats what Communism amounts to

I am assuming, since you have access to electricity and the internet, and since you have adequate leisure time to write youtube comments, that you live not only in a "first world" country where standards of living are fairly high but in a democratic one, where your freedom of speech is protected by law. I am assuming you have never tried living on <600 calories a day, or received medical care in a hospital without electricity. Nor have you seen people executed for voicing dissent

The "big multinationals" have nothing to do with freedom, corporations are motivated by their own profits not by any ideological, let alone moral, considerations. Capitalism can coexist with democracy (as in South Korea today); it can just as easily coexist with dictatorship (as in Chile under Pinochet.) Communism, in contrast, has only ever coexisted with dictatorship (in terms of existing historical examples.)

The division of the world into "first world" (developed, prosperous) countries and "third world" (impoverished, underdeveloped) countries is NOT the result of capitalism as such, it is a long-term effect of European colonialism in the last two centuries. Keep in mind colonization was a process Marx viewed as historically necessary, and which mostly benefited the State (Queen Victoria, Leopold II) not individual capitalists.

@TheTollundWoman Well I dont know where you live but I think youre from the so called first world. The first world is the cause of all poverty in the world, without the poverty theres no gain for the big multinationals that support your "freedom", today theres enough resourses to everyone live well. While you and I have internet more than 50% of world's population havent made or recieved a phone call (not cell phone). Maybe you wanna think about the cost of your freedom.

@TheTollundWoman I think you have no power to say what he ment when he wrote the song, that by the way youre destroying it. In my opinion he wanted a change but with no violence ("but when you talk about destruction..."), I think its a rejection to both sistems and to the power they had, but all this is just an opinion the truth is that is a very beatiful song and whats beautiful about music is that a song can mean diffent things to different people.

Capitalism isn't perfect. But personally, i like freedom of speech...

If you go carryin' pictures of Chairman Mao,
you ain't gonna make it with anyone anyhow.
Not much ambiguity there. This song is a rejection of Communism.
