Capitalism is an economic system, involving wage labour, production for sale and minority ownership of the means of production. It is compatible with various different systems of government, but all involve defending the interest of the rulings capitalist class.

In a Socialist world there will be no government, as there will be no classes. Governments exist to defend the interests of the ruling class.

Why is the transition from communism to capitalism difficult?

In a communist setting all businesses and control rest with the government. In capitalism the control of business is given to the person running the store. Without the proper mindset and experience of the store owner, there would be less awareness of the overhead, and maintenance needed to maintain a successful business that was previously addressed by the government should one transition from communism to capitalism.


Is capitalism democracy or monarchy?

Capitalism is a form of economics in which goods and services are exchanged for money. Democracy is a form of government in which individuals vote on each issue. Monachary is a form of government in which power is invested in a monarch (King or Queen). An interesting aside is that America is neither a democracy nor a capitalist society. America is a Representative Republic in which the people vote on representatives who in turn vote on the issues. We also utilize a system of social capitalism in which some goods or services (such as police protection and free public education) are provided without monetary exchange, while other goods and services are purchased. Since economics and government systems are not the same thing. You are comparing apples to pigs (not even the same catagory).
