What exactly is a communist?

Question

Can someone explain it in a way that's easy to understand?

Answer 1

Welcome to class boys and girls. Now for today's lesson we'll be talking about Communism. Communism is a form of government that has complete control over the people of that country. It has a one party system (or a no party system) in which there is only one political party. The communists believe in a policy in isolationism. Isolationism is the practice in which a country makes itself isolated from the outside world. Also the Communists belive in a defence first policy. North Korea spends 34 percent of its budget on its military. The United States spends around 5%.

Answer 2

Liberals are not communists.

Communists are people who give totally all control to the government. Anything and everything you work for is given to the government. From there the government judges how much you need for food and general expenses for your family judging on how many children you have. The idea is that every single person, even the ones in charge, are equal.

However, it's flawed. You cannot make something better of yourself. Hard work will get you no where, for you can be a lazy dog and get as much as someone who works day and night. You cannot truly own anything, own property, or attempt to advance yourself in your life. It sounded good to the Boulshevks when they were underminded by the upper class, to share everything, but in reality the government oversteps it's boundries and makes things worse.

Answer 3

In communism, there are no social or economic classes. There are no states, no ownership of property. There is a dictator and the workers. It is common ownership supposedly by the people of the labor and all that is required for the production. The wealth never reaches the people. Imagine living in a commune where nobody owns the property and everybody shares in the work and, of course, under the direction of the leader supposedly for the common good.

Its really the crushing of the human spirit billed as Utopia.
Communists are totally against Capitalism and individualism.

Answer 4

Communism and it's brother socialism are seriously flawed political systems that have destroyed more lives and squandered more wealth than any other form of government.

Besided the usual nonsense about redistributing wealth or contributions for the greater good, most fail to notice that the individual is totally insignificant in these systems. They ban religion in any form because of the moral authority it represents. All they are guided by is the almighty STATE.

Answer 5

from my collection (at least was taught that way, before I left the country). It is an idea that where everyone is the same, all effort is focussed toward one idealistic world and community. no personal gains, or profiting. This is the world that everyone has the same of needs, things, and values, where are no one is better than others....

In practice, as a human we all have needs, wants, and dreams - Most of us can't even live in the same reality...When you give one man, or party the absolute power - most likely he will corrupts or the one comes behind him will....regarless, if it is communist or capitalist....

Answer 6

In it's most general sense, one who believes in the abolition of private property and the withering away of the government. Communism is an economic theory that entirely fails to take into account the fact that we are human beings. It is far too altruistic...




And Stev (above) has evidently never actually read anything about Communism, Hillary, or Pelosi. Still, she bought the propaganda hands down so she should be easy to lead around.

Looks like Wolf and Eliah have never read anything about them either. Pretty easy electorate to fool, I guess.

PZKFW5G just appears to be uninterested in reality.

Mark is evidently unfamiliar with the term altogether, although it's a nice propaganda knee-jerk reaction.

Answer 7

Communism is a Mode of production, a communist is someone who believes that mode of production will work.

Answer 8

Here's the easy way:
1. Check out North Korea.
2. Check out the Agenda of the Democrat Party.
(They both have the same goals.)

Answer 9

Liberals

Answer 10

1 hillary + 1 pelosi = 2 communists
