I would live in a Capitalist country

For homework my cousin asked me to decide whether I would like to be woken in a capitalist country or a communist country. I found this rather difficult to answer. She only asked which one she did not specify when as in what time period. If I was to wake up in a communist country now it would not (in my opinion) be as good to wake up in as if I were to wake up in it say fifty or a hundred years ago.

If I were to wake up at around the beginning of communism's takeover then it would be better. If I did not work at a very high level I would make the same amount of money as everyone else! I would be able to survive without having to work very hard. Of course that does not encourage productivity but I wouldn't care. I'm sixteen I would go work at McDonalds or whatever was around back then and make the same amount of money as say a doctor.

If I were to wake up in a communist country today though.... Well I'm not even sure. Yeah people defend it all the time but I don't know enough about it to make a good decision. The only thing I know is that I would not want to wake up in one today because I would be in big trouble. I am a Christian so I would at the very least be sent away if not killed especially if I have a bible.

On the other hand though if I were to wake up say a hundred years ago in a capitalist country it would mean no school. I would have to go to work at a factory everyday. Which would be much harder than living in a communist country. Long hours, no breaks, very little money to live. I would not want to go through that. Depending on the class I was born into though I might have to.

Waking up in a capitalist country today though is different. No big factory to work in, and freedom of religion. Still though my job would depend on how much money I have for schooling. The upside to this though is that once I go to school though I will make more money to support myself. If I had to choose I would pick this one because that is kind of the country I already live in. I have nothing against the other countries but I would always choose the capitalist over the communist.
