What is the difference Between Communism & Liberalism?

Question

Can somebody please tell me.

Answer 1

Hardly any similarity except that both are forms of democracy (and our current fascism is a post-democratic phenomenon).

Communism involves living in collective facilities and working in collective industries. In theory it is a collective socialism but in practice, like fascism, the wealth gravitates inversely to need and ends up at the top, in the hands of self-styled "leaders".

Liberalism is the weighing of political ideas based on merit, and on (in the U.S.0 keeping with the Constitution which requires government to collect taxes in order to protect and care for the public. Those requirements are in the document, capitalism (father of fascism) and free enterprise (largely a myth) are not addressed, but are the battle cries of the cretins who regard liberalism as somehow evil while despoiling the assets of the nation for the benefit of a select few is regarded as somehow good (also applies to Communism).

Why on earth would anyone ask except to set the stage for a group answer by a flock of bush-lemmings?

Answer 2

Communal ownership and control of currency by all the citizens not The Gov. economic system not a party. Ciitizens run things. As to cokes and Mc Donald's main difference policies of companies which sell such in other countries low wages and opression in Liberal or Neo type places but not in the other workers control the cash so no low wages.

Answer 3

Liberal states don't tend to kill millions of people, French revolution aside (that was probably just thousands).

You could always find out by moving to North Korea.

If you know what a "Classical Liberal" is, that is what Conservatism was supposed to be (but Conservatism is dead, as Bush has shown us).

If state regulation is supposedly the hallmark of a so-called "liberal", then why are conservatives so concerned about regulating drugs, abortion,the media, and marriage?

Answer 4

Communism is the idea that all individuals share the prosperity and work for the state. Most communist governments consider citizens state property, and exert complete control over their lives.

Liberalism is loosely interpreting the laws, being flexible and dynamic in your implementation of them. It sits well opposed to conservatism, which is strict interpretation.

Despite common rhetoric that liberalism = communism, it's not at all true in terms of definitions of the philosophies, however American liberals do tend to show a propensity for socialist policies. Remember though, socialist is not equal to communist either.

Answer 5

Sure. Liberals don't support the state owning the means of production, and feel that people should be able to profit from their efforts. They also feel that those in need should be helped by society, rather than have the government control every aspect of society.

Communism is a form of gov't, liberalism is a social position.
