Answer 1

if the romans ruled the world once, so had the british, now the americans...but the world is witnessing the decline of the world's most powerful country and the rise of the another great one - china...being the fastest growing economy in the world, is predicted to surpass the scale of wealth of japan and germany, them united states in the next few decades...the international trade are getting much dependent to china, the recent sellout in shanghai and other chinese stock markets has shocked the whole international market with the sharpest decline on shares prices since 9/11, this should mean something...also, military spending has discreetly grown in billions by developing sophisticated military technologies and increasing its weapons stockpiles.

Answer 2

The USSR was the agrarian state that Marx said could never support Communism. To him only an industrial state could make Communism work. Too bad for the Russians that they tried, but all they got was Stalin. That's two strikes before they could blink. They never had a chance. (It was still never going to work anyway).
China was a Communist state, supposedly still is, though they have gone back to a lot of Chinese values. The Red envelope always contains money so prosperity is a core value. "Communist Capitalism" is the closest to a real ideal so far. We are going to see the results quite soon I'd think.
South Vietnam was just another corrupt government (The kind that USA loves to support). This was a war of Independence, something Americans think only they are entitled to. It really was nothing to do with Communism. It was great to see the USA get the hell out, dragging the corrupt South Vietnamese underworld with them. America, the Vietnamese gangsters in your community are the South Vietnamese you supported. Support them now. Just like the Cuban gangsters, you accepted. They've been there a long time now and seem to have an alternative Florida government doing very well. The Russian Jewish Mafia of Brighton Beach were also welcomed with open arms. Doesn't anyone understand that these people did not make money by hard work?
North Korea was just a part of the Cold War. USA v USSR./China. South Korea probably invited the Americans in though I know nothing about them. Probably need a Jewish PR man. So, no, Communism like Democracy has never been tried. The American Right wing Jews fuelled the scare campaign against Communism.
"We must kill them because they are Communists."
What have they done wrong?
"They are disrupting my right to live in the way to which I am accustomed."
Which is?
"Any way I damn well please."
Someone give Democracy a chance please!

Communism produced the main suitable experience of community a united states of america could have. regrettably, as with capitalism, its leaders abuse the equipment and create a monster. enable's seem at what Communism has no longer produced: Poverty. never has communism led to poverty. yet what relating to the U.S., Cuba, and so on? regrettably, there are different components to those memories. Stalin and different dictators grew to develop into infatuated with their united states of america's militia business complicated (like the u . s . a ., very similiar) and with absolute potential he absorbed all possibilities of wealth for the persons in particularly some militia courses... In Cuba, offender politicians interior the u . s . a . could be blamed for the state of the country. Ruthlessly, the u . s . a . blockaded imports/exports from that united states of america. because of the fact the u . s . a . produces many key components for thriving economies, and Cuba is so small, it, like many different international locations rely on paying for and promoting with international locations like the u . s . a .. I guess if Karl Marx and Adam Smith's concepts powers have been switched over into lasers, Karl Marx could win. Communism, socialism, Marxism, all that stuff is the way of the destiny and the only thank you to a sustainable destiny. so which you will see that it has produced "stable".

Answer 4

Communism has been tried. It was tried in this country by the Pilgrims. They nearly starved to death as a result. The problem is that since everyone shares equally in whatever bounty results from labor there is no incentive to work very hard. If you haul a hundred bags of grain and I only haul twenty, we both get equal shares of grain. Pretty soon, no one carries more than twenty. What is sorely missing from communism is any incentive for anyone to do anything more efficiently.

It was only after the earliest community in America switched to a capitalist society, where you could profit by your labor that the bounty soared. It is a little know but historical fact in America.

Communism never survives long. That is why you see very little of it in the world. Perhaps in some primitive cultures you will see it. That pretty much explains why they remain primitive.

Answer 5

The Soviet Union, China, and others consider themselves communist, and people assume that's what communism is.

(I heard the Soviet Union described by a professor as "state owned capitalism" -- which is NOT communism.)

But hardly anyone understands what communism means; which is why they say it can't work.

They read and hear straw man versions of what communism is about (such as Ayn Rand -- the Queen of the Straw Man argument).

Answer 6

the real reason communism doesn't work is because people are selfish so their work slips...... if you get paid the same amount weather you work hard or don't try at all then why try? also with another system already having been firmly in place where people can easily obtain wealth and a better life then why be a communist....

Answer 7

Only small egalitarian communities ever actually qualify for "communism". A central state is never really "communist".

Answer 8

What in the world are you talking about? China, USSR, North Korea, Vietnam.....

How are these not communist nations?

Answer 9

Russia was communist, people were fleeing for freedom.
