Topic: What do you think of Comunism? (Read 5477 times)

communism is good ideology, they want to they want to remove oppression, but misused by many dictators.

Communism itself is impractical.

Communism emphasizes a classless society which is ruled by direct democracy, instead of governments. No borders should be drawn by the so- called “governments” to classify a certain populaion as a “country”. This is, in other words, anarchy. Without governments and laws, it is impossible for egalitairanism to be carried out at all.

Communism requires a full abundance of resources such that egalitarianism can be practised. Without such, communism cannot work at all, especially in the present world, where there is a scarcity of resources, which is unable to achieve the unlimited wants and needs of contemporary humanity. Communism also emphasizes social ownership of the means of production. However, there will be no incentive for people to work hard for the community.

Communism requires the total annihilation of human nature. Communism needs its participants to neglect self- interest and only think about the interests of the community. This is against human’s natural instincts for survival. Egalitarianism also goes against the current belief of gaining what you have worked for.

Communism emphasizes no religion. As Christendom has had a firm foundation in history, it is impossible to be wiped out. Furthermore, many people view religion as a kind of spiritual support. Basically, communism goes against basic human rights.

I think communism is come kind of religion and both are bad for intelligent people

For communism to work we all would need to like the same things, have the same priorities, think the very same...
So, because that's not how we are, communism is just another ridiculous and pathetic excuse of a bloody dictatorship.

Couldn't agree with you at all buddy, I will have to say that the system that was developed by Marx was something that looks wonderful and all on paper but didn't really account for how human nature is and how people really on when they gain power.

I'd say one of the biggest things I've learned all around life is going to have to be that once people obtain power, even a little bit of it, they change and will abuse this power in order to help themselves and only themselves.

Communism in actual affect (to what we've seen to this day) allows for an elite to arise that is going to be above everyone else, which is usually the Communist party in government. This replaces the 1 percent or whatever they call them in Capitalism and the amount of abuse that happens with the government officials is disgusting.

Checks and balances are almost never seen in this type of government (which is usually seen in Democratic governments)

So in the end, it looks good on paper but will never work due to human greed.

Communism breeds only one thing and that is dictatorship and the violation of human rights

It's an acceptable idea in theory but as with any system when there is people involved chances will always remain it will fail.

It's not so much the system as it is the people that get corrupted by power.

Communism is a pipe dream...it is based on the premise that all the people are perfect and will follow all the laws established for the good of the society. The problem is that we are not perfect and humans are still greedy and selfish even if the government system is changed. When communism tried to erase religions from the face of the planet...they committed the biggest mistake...and that mistake was replacing religion with communism's ideals and vision of a godless society. Communism failed and any variations will fail. Though we can adopt some aspects of communism that can be considered to be good and use them for the improvement of democracy. There is no perfect form of government and democracy is never perfect but nothing is better.

All religions in fact were communist in the beginning as protest against elites. Judaism - against egyptian nobility, christianity - against jewish, islam - against tribal nobility.
In their origins most of the religions are socialistic.
I was living in USSR with communism, in Russia with wild capitalism (unlimited) and in Norway (welfare state as golden middle). In communism smartes and most professional people have no motivation. In wild capitalism it looks very much like a lottery - someone gets all and someone nothing.
I can say Norway and overall Scandinavian models are the most wise and well balanced.
The poorest people are supported through progressive taxation of rich people, but  capitalism and private property are not prohibited. So, no people dying from hunger and no people pissing to golden lavatory (at least not showing it publicly). So there are rich people in Norway and basically no poor people. System is very efficient and therefore is very stable. Some families control industrial and city-based business for 100-200 years, while in outside of the cities - many control large plots of lands and forests since vikings.

Communism a ideology very intelligent, full of scathing criticism, many great figures who inspired by communism. Ir.Soekarno example even though he was not a communist, but his thinking is inspired by Marx as the founding father of communism. knife to dissect the thought of a bureaucracy and social class by Marxism. Michael Bakunin as anarcho also inspired by the thought of Marx, although there is a conflict as well. the collapse of the feudal system in Russia is also not out of the revolution that made Marx. This might be the same when viewed in the French revolution.

Yes, in Islamic countries or countries with majority Islamic population would be very opposed to communism because it did not consider God, they are atheistic ideology. Sometimes communists deny that their ideology atheist, but I'm sure it's just their way to get sympathy. Seeing communism always do in any way to achieve the goal (including violence). In my country until now strongly opposed to communism, my country has a dark history with the communists. But now in my country, communism began to appear little by little, and began to indoctrinate young people to join with communism. This is very evident in my country.

My country Islamic countries, the applicable law is the law of Islam, the most common view is the view of Islam. So most people here regard communism is not that good. Communism does not believe in the existence of God. And here is God's presence is highly recognized. In Islam explained that all that exists in the world is God's creation, except God himself. the Quran is explained that God does not give birth and was not born, but God does exist.

I think communism is good, but now it's impossible. Now the majority live on the principles of profit and income at any cost.

Do you even read bro?
Where do you see complete communism and redistribution?
That's why we're talking about a mix...

Will not work. Why do you think that those who produce the goods I want somebody redistributed? Why do you think people will want to go to work in the farm if the rest will work in the office? No it is a utopia. I am sure that communism is not feasible.

Probably.
Let's take the entrepreneurship of capitalism.
The wealth redistribution of socialism.
The production means collectivism for necessary fields.
Mix them up through direct democracy.
I'd be proud to live in such society.

That sounds expensive to implement. 

Communism failed. Our private lives will never be "equal", which is the basis to communism.  

The only way to achieve a more equal society is through great parks, wonderful streets, fantastic sidewalks, bicycles, health, education and opportunity.  We need to look at equity and how we treat our most vulnerable populations. I believe socialism, not communism, achieves these aims because the State is not in control of production and we live better lives.  Places like Denmark, Norway and Netherlands are great examples.

I do spend a lot of time at France (mostly waiting on endless queues - if I'm lucky, otherwise I've to fly back due to some strike - or really unlucky and even the airport got to strike meanwhile  ). I just took a few practical examples from my experience, I would have much more.
Don't get me wrong, it doesn't mean I don't like France or have a general bad impression of it, but the system is outdated and too bureaucratic, mainly faulty at public services.

Total Communism will fail..
For human life to do well we need all 3   socialism capitalism communism all mixed together..

Any one on their own will fail..

Total socialism no good

Total capitalism no good

Total communism no good

Mix the 3 in a blender and we have a nice soup ..
