The reason there is so much suffering and poverty in what is loosely classed as the ‘third world’, meaning all less economically developed countries is because of the capitalist nature of the ‘West’. The debt is a made up system, but causes very real suffering – 11 million children die each year around the world, due to debt (according to http://www.globalissues.org/issue/28/third-world-debt-undermines-development).

But there is a simple way to relieve this suffering – cancel the debt. This lack of action epitomises the evil way and greed of capitalism – they still want money from people who can barely feed themselves.

Communism and a communist system in the UK would obviously cancel all this debt, allowing the oppressed to develop and flourish. This is just another reason why communism is a better system, and why it needs to be introduced not just in the UK but worldwide.
