So, liberalism is "bad", Communism is "bad", Cuba is "bad", but TRADE (money-making) with China ...

Question

..(.a "Communist country" )is "GOOD"?????????? Come on...REAL answers, please....Is Communism "bad" only when it can be used as a slur of someone's political stance?

Answer 1

Personally, I think trade is the single most effective way to democratize a nation. Far more effective than an invasion, for instance.

However, I also believe that because capitalism necessitates that there will be some losers, a basic social safety net is a wonderful idea. It frees people to take entrepreneurial risk (because if the venture fails, at least your family won't starve), and it helps produce a class of capable, educated workers.

Plus, I believe it's always wrong to let a child starve.

So, I'm all for trade, and I believe it will increase the freedoms of the nations we trade with (if done properly), but I'm no fanatic yelling "commie!" at the mere hint of helping others, so perhaps I'm not really the target audience for your question.

Answer 2

communism was created by carl marx. It is the idea that everyone works for the better of the whole and no one is better or paid better than anyone else. example being that a school teacher would teach a shirt makers children in return for shirts, a carpenter would fix a plumbers wall in return for the plumbers services, ect. It is not evil or bad, and in fact a great idea. The problem is that it doesnt work because people are inherently greedy and power hungry and the powerful end up abusing their power, i.e. cuba, germany, ect. but the idea it is evil is just capitolist propaganda. NOT COUNTING the fact that being liberal has nothing to do with communism, it simply means everyone should have the right to live the way they want, not follow a set standard of hardcore neo-christian, 2.5 kids, married for 40 years, crap.

Answer 3

Ok first let me get to the core of your question... between capitalism and communism, which is inherently bad or good? Or maybe the difference?
A.
Capitalism, from a moral stance, is more evil... as it teaches ppl from birth that their entire worth evolves around 'self'. We see this everyday with our idolizing and rewarding the rich, most of whom inherited this wealth. The ppl who work just as hard all day long as janitors or store clerks are belittled.

We reward the Donald Trumps, the Oprah Winfreys, the football stars, etc... If you live in a mobile home, you are considered trash.

Communism evolves around community where you are valued by how much you put into your community and not by how much more you have than someone else.

B. China/USA trade...
I think you are asking if communism is considered so bad then why does the USA trade with them to the extent we do in order to make lots of money.
- the answer is partially in part A of this answer... meaning there are no morals in a capitalist economy except to reward wealth no matter what means were used to obtain that wealth.
- the other part of the answer to B is that the USA believes it is converting China to a free-market... the uneducated call this democracy because they don't understand that democracy has nothing to do with economic structures such as communist, capitalism, etc... There are many different forms of democracies. Simply put and to reiterate, China is finding that when you combine a free-market to a degree with communism, the result is the fastest growing economy in world history.

Answer 4

I don't understand this inconsistency from the Bush administration either. There are a lot of conservatives bemoaning the fact that we are rushing our economic future into the hands of the RED Chinese. This will come back to bite us but as long as the Neo-cons (who aren't real conservatives to begin with) remain in power, the warnings are being ignored. The only real hope is that the communists in Beijing lose a grip on their increasingly wealthy population before they can bring down the US and establish their East Asian/Pacific hegemony.

Answer 5

the ideal of Communism is a very good idea,unfortunately human greed always finds away to make it a mockery just look at the corruption now in the so called democracy's which is much worst than at anytime under communis state,their is only one diffrents about the two, communism you tendered to disappear when you protested,but by the look of thing that's going on in the so called democracies beaning arrested and secretly flow to some country to be torched to avoid any legal responsibility! looks like its all the same!!!

Answer 6

Even hypothetical Utopian Communism demands a protracted era of authoritarian oppression to "prepare" the individuals till they grow to be solid Communists. it is definitely "particularly precise to describe Castro's Cuba and the individuals's Republic of China" as completely well-known examples of communism considering the fact that no one has ever controlled to pass previous the oppressive area. So yeah, "the fault . . . particularly lies on authoritarianism and dictatorship" that Communism demands in one hundred% of situations.

Answer 7

CHINA WILL FALL LIKE RUSSIA. COMMUNISM DOESN'T WORK THE PEOPLE WILL RISE. WE WILL BE THEIR TO PICK UP THE PIECES. JUST LIKE WERE DOING IN RUSSIA. AMERICAN ENTERPRISE IS RUNNING RAMPANT IN THE FORMER SOVIET UNION.
IT WOULD BE CRAZY NOT TO TAP INTO THE MANUFACTURING POWER THAT 2 BILLION CHINESE HAVE. THEY ARE PAID LOW WAGES AND THAT MAKES IT AFFORDABLE TO HAVE SOME OF THE MANY PRODUCTS WE USE TODAY.

Answer 8

In the interest of China.......If we couldn't make money off them they would be as bad as Cuba or North Korea!

Money makes the world go 'round.....or was that love? Hmmmm!

Maybe the love of money makes the world go 'round!

Answer 9

The trade the US has been doing with China has done more to take out communism than any war ever could.

We are democratizing China.

Liberalism and its tyranny on our US manufacturing put us out of business. We cannot compete.

Answer 10

Did you live under Stalin, Castro, or Mao Tse Tung? You have no idea what you are talking about.
