What's so bad about communism?

Answer 1

Nothing is wrong with Communism.


Communism is based on one principle; equality. There's nothing in the God damned world wrong with equality. However, Communism pressures corporation, so Conservatives have led people to believe that Communism equals "public control", which it doesn't.


Communism (along with Socialism) are the only forms of government that can work. Yes, quite a few Communist governments have falled, but that's because they were mixed with a Dictatorship. Take the Dictatorship out of it, and Communism is perfect.

Answer 2

There are actually two forms of communism: economic and political. In economic communism (the pure form), everybody owns everything equally, and cooperation produces a satisfactory lifestyle. In political communism (the form we're most familiar with), a few people at the top control everything, so a dictatorship results, along with a classed society. The political form has developed such a bad name that the term communism is no longer used for the economic variety, which does work very well if kept "pure". One good example is the kibbutzim movement in Israel. (Check it out.)

Answer 3

Nothing inherently -- as long as it is voluntary.

Communism is an economic model where all property is owned by the community, and used by the individuals -- most modern families operate on a communist model, so do most condo property associations (with respect to community services, parks, clubhouses, etc.)

The problem with communism comes when it is forced -- which usually also implies some type of totalitarian govt doing the enforcement. In that case, you have the same problems as with any forced control of a population -- regardless of what the underlying economic model is.

Answer 4

Communism is bad because it will be an additional situation the conservatives will take advantage of. Take from the poor and give to the rich, instead of vice versa of what a more liberal person would do. In a communist country, the government takes from the people and shares it with those in government...like the repubs and dems do today! With the republicans the creedo will be, "dirty deeds, done dirt cheap"!

Answer 5

100 million killed by communist during the last century alone.

What's voluntary about having your property and the fruits of your labor confiscated by the government.

At its core is the idea that the individual is the property of the government. The government is responsible for taking care of it's property and makes all the important decisions. The purpose of the individual is to serve the greater good as determined by the collective. So it you distilled to it's fundemental principles it is slavery where instead of individual slave owners the state is the slave owner.

Answer 6

People are instinctively lazy. Thats the problem with communism. They all do the minimum required to barely get by. Its a beautiful theory but in practice its impossible.

Answer 7

Get rich quick schemes in the capitalist business world, (buyouts, IPOs, conglomerates, acquisitions, mergers, and the stock market), do not actually work. Remaining solvent does not actually exist within false economics capitalism.

Profit existing in the capitalist business world, or millionaires existing within capitalism, is pathological deception committed by the 21 organizations spying on the public with plain clothes agents, (with covert fake names and fake backgrounds).

Actual economics is the persons paying the monthly business loan payments of companies voting at work in order to control the property they are paying for.

Capitalism is the psychology of imaginary parents, false economics, and the criminal deception of employees that are paying the bills (including the stocks and bonds, or shares) of companies.

Anti-democracy republicanism is the psychology of imaginary parents and false government.

Answer 8

There are more bad things about it than good but there definatelly are good points into it- such as- everybody was wroking, not such a thing as unemployment, the education, health system was for free.
On the other hand- churchgoers were persecuted, people who raised their voices aginst the regime were killed or imprisoned, we could not travel out of country. The stock of good meet and fruits or soap was limited.
We were manipulated through the fear of loosing loved ones in Eastern Europe.

Answer 9

Its like the old feudalism where the common man has no chance of advancing in society.

A worker is just a cog in the communist machine, its suppose to make everyone equal but in a communist country there are still super elite rich men who have incomes far greater than most of their countryman.

Communism is to capitalism.

As the Pharisses were to Jesus.

Answer 10

if you enjoy communism so much lets share your money with the rest of the country. what happens is that the people are dumb relying totally on the government.
