The Big Failing of Communism is past.

The Big Failing of "Capitalism That Thought It Was Rich Enough To Afford Some Communism" is happening.

Unfunded pension guarantees? Governments ordering banks to make loans they can't afford? The failure of government corporations like Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac due to being disconnected from the market? Massive nationalization of debt in response to the crisis?

Very little of this crisis is "capitalism" in any sense of the term. Government meddling is present in every aspect. Nay, _massive_ government meddling.
