Yangtze Dam: A Split Towards Capitalism I

Let's face it, there has never been a truly communistic country.  Sure, there have been countries that consider themselves communist, but by human nature the ideal of a communist country has always been corrupted.  A true communism is not one for all or all for one, it is all for all or none for none.  This puts responsibility on everyone, but at least the burden is spread out.  This is opposed to capitalism where much the decision making power is distributed to the most influential and wealthy, while the poor bear the brunt of the labor.  That is human psychology for you.  Thinking can be too hard for some individuals, so they give up their power in exchange for security, at least for a while.  But it is too easy to forget this exchange and often those in power thirst for more and press on those beneath them to extract what little value they can at a much greater cost.  There is a paradox involved with the Yangtze dam, however.  The dam is constructed for the good of the country and provides electricity for many homes, but at the cost of the homes of the poor along the river, who receive little compensation for their great sacrifice and contribution to the country.  At what point does hurting the little guy hurt the country?  This is a numbers game, I would not like to play because it deals with human emotions and lives on which I dare not place a specific value.  But decisions must be made, so what are the ethics we should go by?  The Yangtze dam both hurts and helps the ideal of communism by displacing the poor and providing electricity to many homes.  However, if we were to look at who benefited the most from its construction, I am certain we would find a few individuals who received much more for their labor than would be justified in comparison to the meager amount payed to those displaced.  This is the power of corruption and it inherently exists in any capitalist system.  Too many capitalize on the broken backs of the peasants along the Yangtze for it to be anything close to true communism.
