How is Communism even great theoretically? There is no up or down, everything is static.
Communism isn't such a bad idea if you think about it

indeed.
the idea in itself offers a great perspective, but it will never and can never be executed in its highest potential.

There has never been a true communist state. In order to be a real communist state, it has to come after the country was industrialized and post capitalistic.Russia in the 1910's and 1920s was in shambles and the communist regime tried to catch up industrially from the 1930s but never fully put it all together.The USSR ate itself because nothing ever worked right and the numbers were just fudged to make it look right.

What guy in here said that Hitler wasn't a great leader? I would say that a lot of people here aren't great READERS.

In theory, communism is good...so u are correct.......Likewise, capitalism is also good in theory............However, when u take into account the fallacies ofhuman nature (such as greed and the negative affects of competition) many problems arise in both systems.

during the height of the USSR it looked something like:
- no unemployment
- free housing for all. imagine never having to pay rent or a mortgage
- free health-care
- free education, university (no student loans)
- job placement/ job guarantee
- no homelessness
- virtually no crime
- No drugs
- equality in the workplace in regards to men and women
now granted there were problems as well, there is no denying that.
Like for example, many things weren't available to them sine it was a closed market.
However, some of the major problems that we face today
in America were almost non-existent.

no communist country in history has ever pulled off true communism so we haven't therefore seen what Karl Marx's vision was, it was always in timemanipulated by a dictatorship/ totalitarian government.

Another crappy anti-communism argument.

That would be easier than turning the United States into a communist country. It would also be a lot easier than convincing people who haveexperienced the advantages of Capitalism that Communism is a good idea.Originally Posted by Carlos Tevez
