Question about communism...
 

Why is it that "everyone" (US, Britan, etc.) hates communism?

I personally don't hate communism. It's just that I don't think It works.

US is capitalistic and commies arn't oOo:

Is it working for cuba?

On paper, communism is just great, but it just doesnt work.

Communism induces laziness which results in lack of thought which results in lack of achievement.

Yes, but why do other goverments hate communism?

exactly. Everyone would have to think the exact same way for evryone to be happy. And that just won't happen.

Its not the Idea of hating communist. its the Use of communism as a crutch that allows tyrannical rulers to come to power. Thats why communism is most often hated and associated with evil and evil ways.

And not only that people dont like having to have the same everything as everyone around them. What is there to work for. So people stop working hard and the country stops producing. usually resulting in chaotic streets which are often combated by over autoritarian rule where people are rounded up and shot in the streets to be made examples of.

Yes, like I've been always told, for example...
Some guy works his ass off all day and then there's this other guy who just sits there jerkin himself off. Now...who deserves deserves more food, supplies etc???

Well the hard working dude deserves more food and crap but the other dude i would say would deserve more hand lotion to increase his arm strength.

I think the US does not so much hate communism as the fact that we feared a communist expansion throughout the world.
While on paper communism sounds tempting, it does not work and has led to dictatorships forming in comunist countries. Also communism would ruin the existing economy in the US.

Also, Stalin waas a pretty scary chap, he raised hell with the USSR's own people, so naturally the US was a little scared, we helped put on tyrannical nutcase out of business, having another would be bad.

I dont hate communism, its just that its leaders are corrupted by their absolute power. In theory, communism sounds nice, but would never work because humans are, in nature, greedy. Personally, I think capitalism is much better than communism regardless because I believe you have to work for what you get. If on the other hand, I see my neighbor struggling to survive I would of course, help him. But I dont like people telling me what to do, let alone share my things with. Communism isnt laziness, its just too idealistic in my opinion..

No.

What do you mean the us doesnt hate communist? The corner stone of filthy bolshevism is world revolution, we hate communism because it goes against the economic foundations of the west, is anti religon, and preaches world revolution. Filthy communist.

religion is the real root of all evil.

In my opinion , it's about Freedom.

A communist government does not allow for indivuism and basic freedom.


As a supporter of freedom , I understand why people would " Hate " communism.

“FROM EACH ACCORDING TO HIS ABILITY, TO EACH ACCORDING TO HIS NEED.”

Close enough... let's re-arrange it a bit:

“FROM EACH ACCORDING TO HIS ABILITY, TO EACH REGARDLESS OF HIS NEED."

The productivity falls on the same few's shoulders and they have to give
away the fruits of their labor ? No.

mwah:

perfect communism is a great idea but the one thing to get in its way is greed, so it would never work

Exactly. On paper, it's great. In practice, it licks ass.

True communism has never been implemented on a national scale.

Every attemp has degraded into a socialist dictatorship at best.

Plato's Republic had it best, IMO. The leaders have no possessions. They live communally and their needs (and little more) are provided by the state. Their only luxury is the ability to rule. Remove the ability to gain financially from the rulers and their decisions are less clouded.

Did you ever pay any attention at all in school?
If you did, you wouldve known the cornerstones of communsim by now.
The revolution is just one form that the communism might take to reach it goals. Notice that 'one way'? eek:

I disagree. It licks ass on paper, in practice, and as an idea.

When you do not have freedom, it will not work.

God knows that I don't want to defend Eames, but I just have to correct this statement.

According to Marx, the only way to achieve "true" communism is through revolution of the lower classes.

Which is not to be taken litterarly. What he is saying is that the lower classes should not longer be lower classes, but the walls between the classes shall be removed, and a society of equality will form in time..

fuck america got demorcracy through revolution...everything needs a fucking revolution.

Marx's teaching (more like rants) were all very time and location specific, can easily be taken out of context and dont hold up to the test of time. The basic principles are more long lived. He wanted the "revolution" in france, but found a more receptive audience in russia.

Freud was right.

Uhm.. I think he only missed the comma after the fuck...moron.

you.
fucking.
twit.

that was my point

You say you want a revolution, well you know, we all want to change the world. rock:

I never said that :S

I guess I needed a comma between the two words or something.

Why edit my post?

does anybody know what a freudian slip is? oOo:

Yes.

Zone = psychology major

A Freudian Slip is where you inadvertently say something that you were thinking, which sheds light upon what you actually feel toward a certain subject or person.

Example, Clark Griswold in "Christmas Vacation" when he's in the department store with the beautiful sales clerk, looking at lingerie.

"It's a bit nipply outside."

Or that Time I was at work and this smokin blonde came in and I walked up to her and was going to say "Hi, Can i help you find anything today" but I said "OMFG YOU ARE TEH SECKSAY!...Buttsecks PLZ"

I said it just like that cool:
Her clothes practically exploded off of her body

"Tis the season to be merry"
"well thats my name!"
"No shit?"

LOL rock: rock:

Yep. Happens all the time, dude. biggrin:

Wife: Could you pass the salt, honey?
Husband: YOU'VE RUINED MY FUCKING LIFE, YOU HARPY!! Oop...Freudian slip...
