Not the totalitarian communism, but the true Karl Marx theories.

Not perfect, but better.
You really get to see that when you live near DC. You watch the useless ultra-wealthy walking a few feet away from people who own only the raggedy clothes on their backs. It makes you think that if their wealth was split up evenly amongst the people living in the district, you'd get a bunch of middle-class people all with the ability to live in comfort, instead of people who are to rich to care, and people who are reduced to beg for food to survive.
Keep up the dream, maybe one day we can accomplish it and make everyone middle-class and satisfied.
And maybe, if anyone actually breaks down and reads the communist manifesto (like I did) you'd get a lot more communists.

I believe that communism is the way forward but unfortunatley the human race has not reached that stage yet eg capitalism is still present in society today which just increases poverty and in turn the crime rate.
I agree with the theory of Karl Marx but i dont think that it can ever be applied today as humans are still like apes who murder each other and want to be in control.

i in my view do no longer purchase that argument in any respect. no one right here in u . s . of america is grew to become far flung from scientific care despite the fact that in the event that they have not got any money. that's the way it extremely is at the instant except we do substitute into socialistic. If that occurs the uncomplicated of scientific care will decrease because of the fact the loose industry for carriers offering the final scientific care will now no longer be the norm. There could be no uncomplicated for what's the final scientific care. while that occurs panels would be set up and a bureaucrat will say what's the final scientific look after me extremely than me identifying on what's ultimate for myself. as properly this once you seem on the myth of the talents that's a economic unit on the time of Jesus. the place a undeniable company guy gave his workers the comparable style of abilities to each and each. the only that earned the main substitute into rewarded. How? by applying the businessman eliminating the only that did no longer something yet concealed his money and giving it to the only that made the main. human beings ordinarily like farmers, or motor vehicle makers, compete no longer purely to make the main yet to make the main. This includes offering the final wellness care gadget as properly. And technological and scientific treatments are the outcomes of this opposition as properly. Take this away and allow government to run it. there'll extremely be waste and duplication of centers. And allotments to scientific care innovations. Human life will become a style. a fee. which contain in a socialistic society. in case you think of there gadget is the final you are able to stay there and resign your US citizenship. Me? I chosen to alter right into a citizen of this us of a in June 1983 even however i substitute into born someplace else interior the international. there is none greater perfect than right here. Later.

It would be a hell-of-a-lot better than anything we have now.
However, that would only be true if *EVERYBODY* applied
these beliefs. Everybody would have to be acting altruistically.
The flaw in communism continues to be that people aren't
always altruistic.
If I had to chose between pure capitalism and pure communism
and assumed that the systems were actually working as design,
I'd pick pure communism.
However, it won't work.
Pure capitalism works, but anybody with an ounce of humanity
realizes that it is a horrible system.
As usual, we end up somewhere in between and argue
over each detail.

Yes it would. The true communist beliefs are exactly what the world needs, but the capitalist society won't let it happen. That would ruin the lives of the rich, who are the 1% population that run the planet.

This has already been tried, and did not work. The theory of communism sounded good, when it was applied to the real world it resulted in Soviet government for example. Incentive was stifled, opportunities for corruption were rife. People waited in line for hours to buy bread at the cheap state price, paid exorbitant prices on the black market otherwise. Black market created tolerance for bribes and organized crime.

No. Communism works on paper because it does not factor in character flaws in humans. There will always be those who take advantage of such a system and would place unreasonable burdens on those who do not. (Ironically, that is the actual lesson to be learned from Thomas Malthus' Tragedy of the Commons.) Governments were instituted to protect us from each other, unfortunately, they too are flawed because they were created by flawed creatures.

The theory is nice, but when you add the human element, it all falls apart.

Move to North Korea and find out how it's working.
Hundreds of thousands starve to death each year.

it's not going to happen because someone is always going to try and be in charge and you end up with that bs dictatorship of the proletariat.
