What's Wrong With Communism?

[Wraithhawk]

One think I would like to say about the current 'communist' states, is that they in fact are no longer even a huge perversion of communism they are in fact the ultimate form of capitalism. There is a small group of people who control all of the countries assets and they can keep people from over taking them because they have all the power. This is what would happen if Capitalism was to reach its ultimate potential one group would take control one way or another and it would become a world much like Korea and China. Though at first there would be a point in time where prices would be insanely high and there would be a large amount of death in the lower classes because there would be a large lack of jobs and affordable anything after a while this would 'stabilize' and fall into what is called 'Communism'

Communism and Socialism are great- in theory. The only thing truely wrong with them is one thing in particular- people. Yes, people. Not one person that I could think of would accually spread all the money equally to everyone, at least not without skimming a little off the top first because come on all people are equel but some are more equel than others. And I guarentee that no one could truthfully say that they wouldn't take advantage of a system like that.

Obama is taking away our guns and wants to get rid of the presidential limit of 4 years. sounds bad to me.

But why should i work hard if i get paid the same as everyone else. If I work hard and run and run a good business then i should get paid more than the janitor at my business.

How about do switch to a mixed economy like in Canada where we get free healthcare and education AND industries and money are not controled by the government so you con't get corrupt governments... for the most part at least.

True communism is an ideal, that due to human nature, will never come to fruition. And that's what makes me sad.

um... it makes you sad that we aren't all little drones, replacible with gears or ants? personally, I think that free will (the bane of Communism, which asks us to leave thinking to the state) is a part of us most of us that, like alchohol, is the cause and solution to, most of our problems, but besides that, it is a part that most of us take for granted, and I find that sad.

that's what mixed economies are for. best of both worlds.

Just take a nice long look at its humans right record and 2 other facts 1 it will result in the banning of fun in all forms, 2 its a scam made up by the jews to take over the world. ( and let the hate mail and extra hate shit hit me.)

Too many Americans are afraid of it.
AND, others believe that Obama will make America a communistic society.
But, i see no problem in this. Communism is a great idea if a country already has a stable economy, and hey, free healthcare would be great. It's a great idea it's just been used wrong.

So really, what's wrong with Communism?

Nothing, it's used everywhere, sorry to say. Capitalism is still an abstract form of communism.
We're given the illusion of choice, but really, the government owns everything. Freedom of speech no longer exists. You say something the government doesn't want you to, publicly and you're a dead man. Just accept it and move along like good sheep, don't try and buck the system, don't try and invent something that could help the world's economic climate or unsustainable fuel problems. The government won't let you.

Wow... a paranoid git against capatalism, how original XD

Everything we had drilled into our skulls since elementary school. America doesn't want it's citizens to think of communism as a good thing.

I had to go right ahead and fix that for you.

Everything in American society seems directed toward making people NOT think. From poorly funded schools to the annoying "U.S.A." chanting during electoral speeches.

 

[GOATOFRAGE]

communism is not an ideal lifesyle but i personally would rather live in a truly communist country than a truly capitalist country

 

[GoldenCondor]

For some reason, the U.S. has had an issue with even the word "Communism". I don't know why. Maybe it has to do with those old propoganda films that say "If you buy such-n-such from somebody, you are buying.. COMMUNISM!".

Huh, I never heard of that. If you provide links I would like to know more about those films!

 

[Troublesome Lagomorph]

Because, like Anarchy, it doesn't fucking work.

In a perfect world?
Sure.
But we don't live in a perfect world - never have, never will.
Admittedly, I don't make a great study of these things (politics are boring,) but as far as I'm aware,

Communism on paper is a great idea, but it does not translate well into reality (unless you have a very small group of people who you trust). It only takes one person who decides to take advantage of everyone else and things start going to hell.

this.

This.

Human corruption is what's wrong with Communism.

LOL I will.

Every country shows its form of patriotism. Whats wrong with Chanting "USA" Should we get mad at the brits for singing "God bless the Queen"? It's just part of their culture
