lots of people are telling me communism did not work. this is true. but also they say: in theory communism could work. i was just wondering..what do they mean 'it could work'? do they mean that yes, in theory, communism would create a sort of utopia? in my mind, a country in which you cannot improve your social or economic status however hard you try (and therefore have nothing to aim for, or wish for, or bother to live in hope of). basically, i just don't see why anybody could ever be happy under communism. am i making any sense?
why DO people say that in theory it could work? what do they consider to be 'working'? because i suppose i was only taking into account people's happiness?
but then i thought the whole point was that everyone would be happy if they have the same. maybe it is just that i disagree with that completely.
so basically : i'm confused. please help!
