I understand it. I guess that is why I know it is not evil.
What always amazes me is when people say it is the best but just won't work or is impractical... capitalism is impractical and a lot worse in the end but we keep it... why?
I mean that's like saying.. 'I know what is better but I am not willing to try it... Let's just give up and accept less and let capitalism widen the gap between the rich and poor, destroy all sense of community and let's just accept being a society based on greed, self and competition.'
Oh yeah sounds like a plan to me.. NOT
Btw, communist China seems to be doing just fine in the economic world. Oh wait, now the capitalist will come out and say.. oh but they are corrupt .. and we aren't?

Most people don't understand it fully. It's not evil, but it is impractical. It calls for quite a few things that are just against human nature. Even if everyone is supposed to be equal there will always be those who want power over others and will do whatever possible to gain such power. Read the book Animal Farm. Great story and it really illustrates how impractical this system of government. This is not to say that communism is evil. It's just that many people fear the concept of not owning things as well as a few finer points outlined in the communist doctrine.

I think Communism is one of the most misunderstood theories ever. For some reason, I guess the media and the American government brands communism as this evil blood sucking system. But when you really ask yourself, what is communism. Communism means being equal.
And what is so bad about being equal?
Just like every theory, it sounds good, but when put into practice it can collapse like a Jenga. But you know what is also a flawed theory? Capitalism! Because not everybody has the means to get rich and live in Malibu. However, I must admit Marx over-estimated human nature by a million miles. 99.9% of us are greedy selfish bastards driven to exploit others to benefit ourselves.
Moreover, we've never ever ever had real communism on the face of this planet. That is why people hate communism. They see the misrepresentation of communism in Cuba, former USSR, Vietnam.
I think if people actually READ the Communist Manifesto by Karl Marx, they wouldn't think its this demonic theory. Cheers!

I do not think that the system per se is evil. It's always the ones who run the government who are making a system bad or evil. Look at China, communism seems to work for them, although many will disagree. They are fast becoming as the world's next economic giant. Regardless of the system, progress and satisfaction will follow if the will of the people is heard and followed.

properly as a libertarian i experience that reasoning in the back of communism is idiotic. monetary rights and own Rights must be defended. you're utilising a hypothetical "what if" certainty. Why is there purely "one" community nutrition source? Who owned it? Did the authorities own it? Refusing each and every person else get entry to to a "community" nutrition source only creates a sparkling marketplace for nutrition and nutrition from yet another section will be imported by using provide and insist. also how is the nutrition source "loose"? is this tribalism? Communism violates monetary liberty. It supplies administration of monetary rights and often own rights to the so reported as "proletariat" less than dictatorship of the "proletariat". Now this dictatorship takes capital by using rigidity and redistributes it. For the so reported as "more effective sturdy". it truly is inefficient and the dictatorship often a Communist party takes complete administration of the country. besides why does no longer the man no longer promote the nutrition produced on the obtained land? it truly isn't any longer a contravention of liberty. If someone denied use or sale of nutrition from arable land for helping a inhabitants the nutrition might want to easily rot there. some thing that only would not take position in capitalism.

Communism isn't an evil system. In fact, in its purest form, it's a great system, very democratic.
It just isn't practical. It doesn't work and often it just lets an over-paranoid and brutal government take power over the people.

Communism is just another way of doing things. The evil comes from the people who adminster the system.

communism is not evil but misunderstood. as an articulation of social organization it is very attractive and has been successful in many applications. i would also suggest that other forms of social and economic organization such as capitalism have and continue to fail us on the grandest of scales.

It is evil in that the only way for productivity to take place under the communist system is to instill fear in those who are not productive.

I don't think that it is evil, but it will never work on a large scale. In groups of a hundred or less it is proven to be damn near perfect.
