Do you think the USA can get rid of it's social and cultural problems if it turns into a Communist country???

Question

The most important principle of COMMUNISM are as follows: -

1) Equality among people, abolishment of Class.
2) Equal distribution of rights and property.
3) All power to the State
e.g. Land, Mineral Resources.
4) Abolishment of private property,
e.g. Land, Mineral Resources.
5) All rescpect and power to the Workers, both doing Mental and Physical labor.
e.g Scientists, Workers, Laborors, Farmers, Engineers, Soilders, Doctors etc..
6) Those who do not work, must not eat
7) Work according to Ability and Capability.
8) A complete class-less society.
9) There is no God
10) Abolishment of religious practices

The great Soviet Union (the USSR) and China follow exactly these principles!!!!!!!!!!! The Soviet Union is alas, no more.

Answer 1

Earth to you! Earth to you!

Communism was tried, and IT DOESN'T WORK!!!!

Communist countries can't feed their own people. It's a big lie, it's slavery. China has become capitalistic. The USSR failed completely.

Come back to reality.

Answer 2

The USSR was a miserable failure. The people are still recovering from the "utopia" that they were forced to endure.
There are still classes within communism, the bosses are the ones who tell the peons that they can't keep what they have worked for (#3 all power to the state). There will never be a Utopian society on earth. Humans have a sin nature (God tells us that) so we will never be perfect, until we get to heaven (not everyone wants to spend eternity with the Lord, by the way, and those people won't be there). How many children have to be taught to lie, steal, and be selfish? Not a one, we come by it naturally. We have to learn to be kind and generous.
If you really think that communism is so great would you want to live in Cuba, China, or the USSR when it was at its "peak"?
Why do the dictators in communist countries have to work so hard to make sure that nobody leaves? In our capitalist USA we have a problem with too many people wanting to come in.
I'm sure that many of the people who started communist societies were those who thought they were smarter than most people, and they would get to make the rules (lust for power), and those who were too lazy or incompetant to make a living for themselves (greedy and envious).

Answer 3

Communism would be perfect if God ran it.

There are classes in Communism. The party and the people. And there are so many levels in the party.

Rights were never equally distributed.

Not having God is wrong. People have a spiritual side that must be fulfilled.

China is no longer really communit. The Soviet Union went bankrupt. Who is left? North Korea? Not really a good model to want to base a society on.

I'm not necessarily saying that America has all the answers. Europe and Canada are superior to America in a lot of ways. But I am saying that the answers arn't in Communism.

Answer 4

No, unlikely. While the "one true communist" state has never been achieved, there have been attempts in history, and those attempts have only spilled more blood. The revolution in Russia drove a lot of people out of the country (including my family), but it also made life hell for those who were still there. On numerous occasions, the state created famines that starved millions and the kulaks (land owning people) were completely liquidated (read: slaughtered) in Ukraine.

The abolishment of religion never worked, and even those who supported the Soviets in Russia took umbrage to the fact that they took away their religion. In it place was a personality cult of Soviet officials like Lenin and Stalin. God had become the State, and the State was more vengeful than many of God's acts in the Old Testament. The change you ask for has never been achieved through violence. They tried in Russia, and over 20 million people died and basic natural rights were abolished. They tried in China, and China only took more countries by force, and in this day and age, they're not much of a communist state.

Answer 5

I strongly suggest you do a bit of research into WHY the USSR is no more, and WHY China has all but abandoned communism.
You will find out that shortly after its founding, the USSR (and for that matter, all communist countries) became a corrupt, murderous, tyrannical dictatorship.
As regards China, even Mao Zhedong admitted that all of his "reforms" only helped a few peasants in and around Beijing.
The basic principles of communism run contrary to human nature.
Capitalism, freedom and liberty have done more to advance the cause of human prosperity than communism and socialism ever could.
But hey, communists only killed 100 million people in the 20th century! Why not give it another chance?

Answer 6

Communisim only works in theroy. Peoples adversions to competivness will always win out over what actually makes sense. Communisim is also hard to regulate. There would always remain a black market and greed. Therefor crime would become a national pasttime. The 'no god' thing would never work either. We would create a venue for religious extremeists(or 'terrorists') And in mymind communisim is much like a tribal mentality which is a step backwards not fowards.

Answer 7

There would be less incentive to do greater things.. Why spend all the time and energy to be a doctor, when you get the same benefits from being a cashier at a supermarket? And would you really think that is fair? Our economy would fail because it would be pointless to invest in anything without profiting from it. I'm sure it would cause even more problems. We would stand still, never grow, and never develop new things.

Answer 8

I doubt it because look at all the genocide and racial unrest that happened when the USSR did collapse. It wasn't solved; it was suppressed. Suppression is just sweeping it under the metaphorical rug. It doesn't fix anything. Any leaders we had would be just as corrupt. If I'm not mistaken Soviet leaders led rather lush lives as compared with their subjects. Utopias aren't possible.

Answer 9

Oh yes. I want to give up all of my freedoms,
money,
property,
reproductive rights,
ability to move anywhere I choose,
ability to choose my spouse,
where my children go to school,
whether or not to join the military,
the ability to burn my countries flag in protest,
the ability to openly protest my governments decisions,
the ability to choose the leaders of my country in the first place,
the ability to worship my religion freely,
the ability to read any book or listen to any point of view....

.... Yes, I want someone else to tell me whats best for me because they would definitely know better than I....

.... all just so the dumbest, laziest and most power hungry can improve their lives 1% at the expense of degrading my life by 99%.

Yeah.... thats what I want.

Answer 10

There is only one problem with your theory that I can see. Communism, pure communism, is great in theory. But, there can never be true communism in practice because of human nature. On the other hand, that is kinda like what the natives did before Columbus arrived in the Americas, so nothing's impossible.
