Numbers has read the Communist Manifesto, I think he has a little knowledge of what Communism is

not entirely true. i believe it's problem is that it's based on revolution and confrontation, not compassion like it should be.The problem with communism is that it's too perfect.
On paper everything works out, but once you apply it to the real world, you soon realize that it's something that cannot be done.

also, guys, for the love of jesus, can we be nice to 13537? i know a lot of you dislike him or think the things he says are ridiculous, but he's a person too and he demands just as much respect as everyone else, whether or not you agree with him.
communism is not perfectThe problem occurs when you take a perfect concept and let it be run by imperfect beings. This goes for a lot of things that are meant to provide happiness, but in actuality, cause chaos.
communism is not perfect
My family and I lived in communist Poland.
On paper it is.
and what is your opinion on communism?
Me, my family was originally from Cuba but came to America some years after the revolution. I was born and raised in the US. I'm still getting a steady trickle of distant relatives from Cuba. Nothing they say is good. From Grandparent who was there when it happened, to parent that lived in the aftermath, to just recent relative that just arrived, to just about anyone else that came from over there. The message is always the same, Cuba has become a God awful shithole thanks to Communism.
That is my experience with it, or rather my family's experience. That is why i hate it. That is why is agree with 15357, because S. Korea runs the serious risk of having the same thing happening to them, thus they prepare accordingly. Meanwhile they are constantly having to deal with being undermined by communist sympathizers.
Communism is for cool people.
oh shit i forgot to unban you guys whoops
Ok, Plato.The problem occurs when you take a perfect concept and let it be run by imperfect beings.
oh shit i forgot to unban you guys whoops

Ok, Plato.
Edit:My Idea is perfect. My Idea doesn’t work. Therefore reality is imperfect.
and now i notice the one pm in my inbox D:
lol you three were all 'it doesn't matter, i don't care, its only a day, don't worry about it' last night anyway
and on paper narnia works.
South Korea doesn't run any risk of being overran by North Koreans. The second North Korea makes a move, President Bush will have enough evidence to send forces there ASAP and I'm sure Japan would be right behind the US.
Ennui: No, it's a fact and that's why it was so heavily implemented.
On paper it goes like this: Every citizen will recieve the same as any other citizen, which would mean no crime, no poverty and no war. What do people call that? They call it a utopian society.
Was born in communist ran Lithuania and eventually came over the US. My Dad told me one time about how he got his first car. Basically anyone who was working was put on a wait list and when their name was reached, they would recieve a car, but if you quit or was fired, you had to resign up with a different job. My grandmother worked 17 years and finally, they got a car.
WTF are you on about? Compassion and altruism are some of the central aspects of communism! Communism is the only ideology which actually cares about the people, not the corporations and the capitalist class.not entirely true. i believe it's problem is that it's based on revolution and confrontation, not compassion like it should be.
Hrrm, Bolivia and Venezuela (and to some degree, Cuba) seem to be well on their way It will be interesting to see how these countries progress, and handle the many challenges of forming a true communist country. It will take time of course, many generations .. But I have all faith in them, eventually they will succeed. And then, the world will follow.Communism doesn't work when applied in a real world situation, but on paper, where things like earthquakes, storms, monsoons and hurricanes don't happen, communism works.

Communism is firmly grounded in the love of all things living, and the desire to see these people and animals live good lives, without opresssion and poverty. A life where everyone are given equal chances, a life where no-one is left behind. A life where one doesn't have to pay for such basic things as medical care and school, a life where the quality of your education and housing is not determined by the amount of money you have.
A life where we live in peace with our neighbours, a life where we share the resources of the earth for the good of everyone.
This is communism.
Because, don't you agree that there's something wrong with the world when some people live in enormous villas, while others live on the street and starve? Isn't there something wrong when getting medical care when you urgently need it can bankrupt you? Isn't there something wrong when a board of filthy capitalists decide what a company should or should not do, while it really should be the workers in said company who do that? Isn't there something terribly wrong when people are forced to take two jobs, just to survive?
No, there is definatly something very, very wrong with this capitalist world we live in. And communism is the only solution.

The revolution is inevitable. Capitalism has no chance of surviving
Yeah, perhaps I am naive. But I really, really believe that people are good at heart. Perhaps not the current generation, seeing as we are to infected with capitalist propaganda. But perhaps the next? Or the one after that?I long for the time in which I was naive enough to have faith in humanity.
