Why do people try to archive Communism?

Question

I had studied Communism in History. I know the definition and goal of communism, but why the devil should people try to archieve something impossible when system might be ruin when it is half way archieved.

Answer 1

are you asking about archiving or achieving? Your question doesn't make much sense with incorrect words being used.

Answer 2

Communism is an ideology that seeks to establish a classless, stateless social organization, based upon common ownership of the means of production and can be classified as a branch of the broader socialist movement. Early forms of human social organization have been described as 'primitive communism' by Marxists. However, communism as a political goal is generally a conjectured form of future social organisation. There is a considerable variety of views among self-identified communists, including Maoism, Trotskyism, council communism, Luxemburgism, anarchist communism, Christian communism, and various currents of left communism, which are generally the more widespread varieties. However, various offshoots of the Soviet (Stalinist) and Maoist interpretations of Marxism-Leninism comprise a particular branch of communism that has the distinction of having been the primary driving force for communism in world politics during most of the 20th century. The competing branch of Trotskyism has not had such a distinction.

Karl Marx held that society could not be transformed from the capitalist mode of production to the communist mode of production all at once, but required a transitional period which Marx described as the revolutionary dictatorship of the proletariat. The communist society Marx envisioned emerging from capitalism has never been implemented, and it remains theoretical; Marx, in fact, commented very little on what communist society would actually look like. However, the term 'Communism', especially when it is capitalized, is often used to refer to the political and economic regimes under communist parties that claimed to embody the dictatorship of the proletariat.

Communism will never work as Marx theorised because the self-serving, greedy attitude of man towards his fellow man will always come in to play. George Orwell in Animal Farm put it very succinctly. "All men are born equal but some are more equal than others"

Answer 3

Because they though it would work. It can - in an industrial age - but the industrial age has past. Communism can not survive in an information age, and this is an information age. Communism ignores fundamental aspects of human nature. China is now a capitalist society - it is really "communistic" in name only, because it is still a dictatorship. Vietnam has a stock exchange. Communism isn't dead, but it is dying. If Vietnam has a a stock exchange, it could be argued that even the communists aren't communists anymore... just dictators.

And to the CLOWN that thinks the Democrats want communism... I AM a Democrat, and I DESPISE communism!!! My wife's family was on the wrong side of the Berlin Wall after WWII - so don't speak for me - it only makes you look like an IDIOT.

Answer 4

Your question makes you sound like you're asking why people would want to put records of Communism in the archives. Karl Marx thought that history ran in cycles and that it was inevitable that in industrial societies like Britain the proletariat would eventually decide that they had had enough and revolt against the bourgeoisie. However, people like Lenin and Mao didn't follow the Communist Manifesto to the letter. For one thing, both Russia and China were largely agrarian societies when the revolutions took place. Lenin's support rested on a tiny minority of urban industrial workers, whereas Mao enlisted the support of the rural peasants. Either way, they weren't responding to the inevitable cycles that Marx had described.

Answer 5

you shouldnt assume that a political ideology is more or less superior to youre own. You cannot say for sure that communism wouldnt work, as stalinism was dictatorship - and arguably the USA caused the USSR to collapse.

China is communist, and thir doing fairly well recently.

Im no communist, but I have learnt that you cannot judge other peoples beliefs as just 'wrong' - you can be critical, but not dismissive.

Answer 6

Because the natural progression in people's minds is that we will work thru capitalism to socialism to communism and eventually to anarchy.

People would like to think they will become better enough to need no government but since people are deeply and truly stupid it will never happen....doesn't stop people wanting fairy tales though

Answer 7

Because they had a dream. but as with a lot of dreams it just doesn't work out in the real world.and as with most people. they still try to make that dream come true. there motives or good. but in reality it turns out badly. Peace

Answer 8

because at its most fundamental principles, Communism is a fantastic system... in practise it can never work in a human society.

Communism normally does work, and then gets perverted as the person in 'charge' as such gets more paranoid and hungry for power (Stalin and Mao)

Answer 9

Desperate people who think the Government should make the decisions for its people and distribute its assets to everyone will fall for Communism. People who do not feel the individual efforts one may expend to achieve individual greatness is worth it. Why should you have more than me will be the "cry" of Socialists and Communist thinkers.

Answer 10

Communistic states already have proved it does not work in actual practice.
The rest is history.
Do your self a favor, avoid the frustration, don't' listen or converse with them
It works!
