Destruction of Communist idea?

Question

Do you agree or disagree?

Communism is an imposible dream because in order for it to be succesful every individual must do his share. As individuals are naturally prone to do small wrongs; and man takes revenge for even the slightest sense of a wrongdoing an entire chain is set off resulting in chaos as every individual begins to neglect his duties. When one man is lazy, another man asks why he's getting the same pay while doing more work; and decides to rebel.

With communism this thing would happen all the time, unless you lived in a society of ubermenschs who all shared the same vision.

In other words, it's impossible to have a communism unless everybody is exactly the same, because differences incite war.

In my eyes, any communism that has a leader, or board of leaders is no longer a true communism, but more of a replubic or democracy...

Answer 1

Marxism is simply a secularization of the messianic vision and eschatology of the Bible and Christianity. Why does it fail? Because it proposes that humanity can accomplish what the Bible and Christian theology made the point of saying that humanity cannot do-- save us from ourselves. Recommended reading: John Milbank "Theology and Social Theory."

Answer 2

You're not a communist, you are an utopist. Americans have always valued business and Wall Street more than anything. Nothing announces a change in their way of seeing. Do you remember the ''what-is-good-for-GM-is-good-for-the-pe... mentality? They went bankrupt but it doeasn't mean that they were wrong.

Answer 3

Communism is not a singularity or one idea, it is the communal nature of man no matter his religion or lack of religion, money system or no money system, bondage and Lordship or democracy. Quite the opposite, it's the similarity which incites all the competitors who are after victory and the spoils of victory. The Judgment is negative, but the Will is positive.

Private Property and Communism

'But labor (read 'labour'), the subjective essence of private property as exclusion of property, and capital, objective labor as exclusion of labor, constitute private property as its developed state of contradiction – hence a dynamic relationship driving towards resolution.'

And this is the condition within the community. International competition is purely bourgeoisie, but the Judgment of labor is capitalized and fights the war when actual fighting in the literal physical sense is wanted.

Answer 4

It's true, but also having a sysytem of welfare creates the same feelings of resentment. We all pay from our future and savings to have children, but young, homeless teenaged girls get pregnant left and right and we pay for the hospital stays and doctors (and subsequent doctor) visits and food stamps and medications.
That's within the capitalistic society, but is it any fairer?

Answer 5

Any idea has its own life span...any 'isms"..just matter of time..People fighting for their ideas, resisting to give it up. Surprisingly that may prolong its existence...That gives another idea that bloody sacrifise feed an idea keeping it alive....but eventually mortality will take over...Once more capitalism is an idea too...be ready to witness natural law in motion. The Idea itself born healthy and positive, it getting ill according of how people understand and developing that idea. Humanity itself is not peaceful, so there is mortality dwells...No, no differences itself initiate wars, but fear of differences. Fear is key word. Fear creates denial..Denial is a factor of fear...Denial manifested contain fear as energetic supplier.And fear with its factors located not outside but inside of any each of us...

Answer 6

Shucks. Seems to me Communism failed because the leaders themselves wanted all the power for themselves and forgot about the little people.

Power corrupts but absolute power corrupts absolutely.
