Hey chrischic..you following me? You don't know where I live, and that is the ignorant talk that pisses me off about black people. I dare you to come where I live, it won't be a warm welcome. I haven't seen you in public yet.. I no report you, I not a snitch and believe it or not, I respect differences of opinion, you know agree to disagree. This is a democracy we live in, freedom of speech and opinions are all included in the package. I am harassed where I live if that answers your question on whether I'd like it or not. You enjoy that? Bet you would. You threaten me, and are racist yourself..but I am the mean one right? No, I am just willing to admit it and you aren't.

Communism is a sick, twisted form of government. It is nothing less than slavery. At the top, you have the hypocritical, bloated Communist party bosses who enjoy all sorts of perks and luxuries that the average person will never be allowed to have.
The best political system is one which is most like a marriage. Communism is like a master and slave owner. The Communist Party bosses tell you where you could live, what you can study in school, if and where you can travel, etc. For good measure, they fence you in, just in case you think about escaping.
As an example, Soviet Communism was an attempt to create a new, selfless man. However, as any vibrant capitalist economy will show, an economy only works when people are working in their own self interest. Ayn Rand had it right when she extolled the virtues of selfishness.
Would you knock yourself out day after day to make a better life for yourself if you knew that you would never make any extra money for your efforts?
Economically, the only thing Communism did was to make EVERYONE poor.
To show the level of apathy that Communism creates, here are a couple things you could always hear in those countries:
1) They pretend to pay me, and I pretend to work.
2) If you aren't stealing from your job, you're taking food out of your family's mouth.
Communism also depends on depriving people of their right to know what is happening in the outside world. When the people of Russia and Eastern Europe saw the great disparity between how they lived and the West, they were angry, bitter, and resentful. Communism could only survive on lies, so once people knew the truth, Communism was doomed due to lack of popular support.
Communism makes everyone distrust his neighbor. In all the former Soviet satellite countries, neighbors would often never speak to one another for fear that the other person is a government snitch who would reveal something said in confidence.
Communism lets very few people live up to their potential. My best friend in the Czech Republic was being educated along the lines of an auto mechanic until Communism was defeated. When democratic reforms have him a choice of education, they discovered he was brilliant, so he was allowed to continue school on the track to college. He now works for a multi-national company, and may become a major CEO some day.
If you want to see the true, vile nature of Communism, watch the movie DARK BLUE WORLD. It recounts how the brave Czech pilots who refused to surrender fled to England to join the fight against the Nazis. After the war, the Communists feared they had picked up dangerous Western ideas about freedom. So, they had these heroic Czech pilots thrown into a nighmarish prison, where some of the guards were the same Nazis they risked their lives to defeat.

Do you really need to ask?
If you'd like not having individual choices then you'd be a prime canadate for living in a communist country.
Communism means the state rules, no individualism in any way, shape or form.
Dictionary Version: State planning and control of the economy, a one-party political structure, and an emphasis on the requirements of the state rather than on individual liberties.
I didn't CRY about anything in that other question youngin problem is with the young generation--NO DICIPLINE ALLOWED!

Communism is a bad thing because it forces equality rather then mankind accepting equality on their own. If man were perfect and accepting of each other, then yea, it would work and no one would steal, no one would murder, the world would be a utopia of peace. However, communism fails to acknowledge the aspect of humanity in human beings. For example, with equalization, if you go to school to be a doctor, hopefully you would expect to make some good money for all the education you have received. In a communist society, that is not the case. A doctor would make the same amount of money as a garbage man.
Additionally, in the communist society, if you are not supporting the body politic, you are taking away from it, and you are exterminated because you are seen as a drain on the system. Competition is also a serious evil in communism. Everyone is to have the same clothing, same shoes, same toothbrush, all must be the same, since no one is better then or greater then their brother. Lastly, your basic freedoms in our Constitution do not exist in communism. The ruiling body dictates what is and is not law, if you break law, then they break you, your family, your extended family, possibly grandparents if they are alive. Sometimes they just kill you, sometimes you do hard labor in the gulags.

Ok - say you had to have an operation, like a heart bypass.
Your dr comes in to do the surgery. He is getting paid 7.53 an hour, the same as the guy who is working at McDonalds. Your surgeon will get the same pay regardless of where he works, so if you die on the table and he can't be a surgen anymore, it's no big deal because he can have the same quality of life flipping burgers.. how comfortable are you going under the knife?

What you're is at a loss for words. Criminals can get wealthy below both gadget. i anticipate you knew that so i did not contain them interior the equations. With capitalism the wealthy get that way by potential of serving others. wealthy, adverse and middle all have upward and downward mobility. in case you cite any us of a the position "the gulf between wealthy and adverse is increasing for all time," i will practice you it really is both a fiction or is by using authorities intervention, no longer capitalism. There are not any exceptions. Communism forever causes an authoritarian regime or maybe then not in any respect works. again, there are not any exceptions. In one hundred% of circumstances a lasting ruling classification reigns over a lasting underclass who've no danger of escaping their misery and deprivation.

Communism is bad because it doesn't promote people to be achievers. Like, why should I go to school and become a doctor when I can get paid almost the same to shovel dog $h_it?
