i believe it is a good system to get started. to get out of problems but then need to be phased out and replace with a system that will allow development and advancement. but cause there are people involve it will never work no one can be the same. you may be paid the same and live in the same houses but there will alway be jealousy, your neighbor my have a better relationship with there wife or son. so you can never be equal. Also if you have people there people will cheat and lie and take what they can. it works on paper but i also cant see how people from democracys etc can say their systems are better than others such as communism or a religious rule. democracy hasnt stood the test of time.
Communism in its purest form is pretty much perfect, its the human will that makes communism inperfect. we, ourselves, are not perfect, therefroe we cant be expected to be a perfect leader over a perfect government. democracy IMO is the best for our world, as the power isnt held by one person, but over a number of people, and the people always have the ability to raise awareness and take action into their own hands (impeachment, etc.) if the government does something wrong.
It's retarded. It doesn't work, anywhere, at anytime. Only four nations use communism today, and they're all crumbling apart. The only reason why they continue is because they're stubborn and don't want to be told that they were wrong.
As many said before, they are trying to get people equal, but that is nearly impossible to do. Plus it isn't really fair to some, because some people work their butts off and then all the money gets taken and equally distributed. This is good for lower class people but for higher classes they don't like. Most of the time the Gov. don't even give all the money to the people. This can also lead to dictatorship, where they will kill you if you don't do what they want. -Darn American History-
in the perfect communist nation tho (which is impossible because of human nature), everyone would perform equal shares, everyone would be paid the same, everyone would essentially be the same. in reality communism is actually THE most perfectly design structure of government, but a government is nothing without the people who run it, and due to the fact that people are greedy and people are lazy and such, it wont happen. the idea of communism is in the right spot, its simply not capable of being used correctly by humans.
Well, you should go back to the first post made in this thread (my own), makes it easier not to type it all. Anyways, its an ideology/concept that makes it that all people - rich or poor, educated or not, etc - are given equal economic rights. Such as they get paid the same money for the same jobs and so on. This is seen to be inefficient because it usually has one man in power (a dictator, usually) and is unfair for the people who work harder and are more educated. Its used by several countries the world over as a government, including North Korea and Cuba.
It sounds pretty good on paper, but doesn't really work out like it's 'supposed' to in practice. So I've voted for 'it sounds better on paper then it does in practice'. On a sidenote though, even when communism works out like on 'paper' I'm not sure if I'd like to live in a country with a government that uses the communist system. Even though it would be a good solution for a lot of problems in modern day society, I probably wouldn't want to live a 'communist' life so to speak .
bout time i check back on this. and its also good to know my posts are blatantly ignored. something only works good on paper if it actually includes all factors at optimal capacity! humans will always be imperfect, and even at optimal capacity, a communist state wont work! therefore, a communist govnerment only works if you IGNORE the human factor, and then it is an incomplete plan! comon folks, lets talk battleplans. lets say the battleplan will work if the artilary doesnt have to shoot in the rain. that works on paper. on the other hand, if the plan calls for the enemy to be engaged at 1000 yards and the artillary only shoots 500 and the plan calls for no rain, it will never work. bad plan. the same is true for communism. only works on paper if you have been recently brainwashed.
The cold war was a BIG waste of money for both countries. There is no evil in communism. If anything, capitalism is far worse than communism. Sure capitalism brings wealth and money, but thats only to the rich. The poor can't take advantage as much as the rich.
communism is great on paper, but in the end will never work, because even if we share all the material wealth, we eliminate material jealousy but there still remains jealousy in the way that a man may be jealous of his friend for having a wife and family... if communism as it is on paper could be practiced democracy would go the way of the dodo
