• Communism is good as an idea and the principals very noble. To implement it would however require minor and major reform's to the communist agenda (regarding religion etc) and would take many, many years to implement, as changing peoples view's on community and practise for example would take a great deal of effort and time, we all know how things such as prejudice work there way through generations.
Which leads to the conclusion that communism to be successful would have to be implemented gradually, as a government introducing communism straight away, would be forced to thrust massive change upon people, resulting in anger, confusion amongst other things. This can be mainly attributed to the un-adaptive ness of most modern societies and peoples dislike of change.
People often use examples such as the Soviet Union for reasons against communism. But it wasn’t communism at-all, communism was just used as an excuse for Stalin to become a dictator (though obviously it is more complex than that, and the communist party before Stalin’s leadership would have to be analysed). And I think I’m right on saying that the Soviet Union was actually a Stalinist government, similarly china was under Maoist rule as well, so both weren’t technically under communist rule (Again a dictatorship for all intent and purpose).
One of the only recorded success's of PURE communism was a small village, where the village as a collective owned all the possessions in it. Clothes were distributed fairly to people and houses also. Everyone in the village had their say on were resources were kept and distributed and they took turns to do certain jobs. I have tried to find some sources on this but cannot do so. So I cannot confidently say more, lest I get something wrong.
I hope that helps, I'll edit this post if I gain any more knowledge on the subject ^^.

I don't think people understand!!! When they want to increase the life of many people, they turn to government!!!! The worst mistake one can make! You have to force humans into competitive markets. Politics are too easily corrupted and if you notice, the people who plead for more social government intervention are the same people who have never picked up a book on economics!!! The quality of government help is autorocious and at the same time the competitive free market has been known to build the best efficiencies ever created! The private sector builds and the government pulls down! I am not saying that people like Hillary are evil, I am just saying they are brainwashed into thinking that the government will be the end all solution to the worlds problems!!! This is not and never will be viable! Instead of people preaching government intervention they should be educating the children to be self responsible, helping them understand economic freedom, and also leading by example! If people stopped and researched the goods and bads of over subsidization, we would have no economic liberals! You cannot overpay for goods and services and expect more technological and medicinal advances! Socialism doesn't work and every nation that goes through this process has paid more dearly than those who have not! America is not on free market healthcare anymore! This is one of the reasons why 35% of people can't afford insurance! It's not that there is too little government, but that there is too much government already! This double headed snake has to be tackled at the root! The addition of branches just makes it strong reducing the hope and strength the people have! I truly believe and would die to make the world a better place. The funny thing is, we shouldn't have to die for it! Human nature builds the best worlds, fighting this nature is actually fighting human nature! As long as conservatives and liberals thirst for control of others, we will never be able to have the best lives! It is sad but true! Competitve markets, not high taxes and big government build the greatest nations, highest average life expectancy, lowest amounts of child labor, lowest unemployment, more goods and services, better efficiency, lower adult literacy rates, lower infant death rates, as well as the greatest growth of income per capita! The problem is nobody ever researches these things! They always look at a politician and do whatever they say should be done! There is a reason that America doesn't have France's debt and 10.2% unemployment rate. There are reasons why France and Sweden's healthcare are starting to decrease in services rendered! There are reasons why Cuba, Venezuela, Africa, and many other socialist type countries are beginning to decrease in almost every category addressed above! Without knowledge these people are left to opinions, bad opinions. When I reject a government intervention they look at me as a devil even though I know I am doing the best thing for the future of society! It is sad to know that people are so bad that we can't even count on government! Many European countries were very rich before becoming socialist and now they are being drained more and more everyday! The downfall of society is not because of greedy people in the private sector, it is because of uneducated voters that pick a side without research! This cycle of life will never stop and there is nothing the few educated people can do to stop it! World socialism is beginning and it will cause more deaths than communism's 100 million murders! The broken window fallacy is applied in almost every case in this example but many will disregard it! It is sad that so many people care, but that very few of those people understand the best way to help! Teach self reliability to your children, help them understand philanthropy! Help them understand why human nature needs to be placed into competitive markets and why governments destroy growth and prosperity, especially for the poor! Help them understand the truth and lies from the politicians words! It is sad but in todays world, many people do not understand how things just have to be! Heaven on earth is not attainable! Never will be! Economic freedom such as Hong Kong will be exactly what is needed to spread religion peacefully as well as giving the best lives possible to the most people! Give freedom to all If Hobbes knew what we know today, he would have given economic freedom to all nations and encouraged self responsibility! ~ Libertarian

It is not. It could never be. The reason is simple: People are programed and run like in mills. Human beings can never be organized that way. Any system that stultifies the natural tendency of the human person to express themselves, can never be sustainable. Communism determines all things for you including your taste, and even your emotions. This is why in the mid '80, it simply became impossible for this system to maintain relevance in human evolution. It simply died a natural death. It cannot be resurrected unless with a transformation that makes it reckon with the basic nature of humans.

I disagree on the basis of nepotism. There would be less opportunity to live and work as you choose. History has shown there would be less production of consumer goods and services. If you are not in the upper class your chances of advancement are very small. I'll take corrupt capitalism any day. At least the corruption can be exposed in an open media society unlike communism.

Some one has been telling you stories. If it was so great the whole world would have converted. The problem is you take away peoples need to improve or produce. It's like living in a nationwide welfare state, you get what they want you to have and no more. You have no choices as to what is safe or best for your family, it is what the powers to be want to give you or take from you. It leads to wide spread corruption and needless abuse of it's people. Why do you think people defect from those countries?

Communism is a great in theory, but falls apart because its basic tenents go against human nature. Most humans are looking out for themselves, as is selected for in evolution. With success and wealth comes the most opportunity for philanthropy.
The most recent experiments in communism have all resulted in dictatorships: Lenin, Stalin, Castro, Khmer Rouge etc.

I believe communism works great on paper and that as we become less competitive for money and more competitive to help each other and study in sciences for the benefit of mankind, we will live in a system of govt that looks like communism with most people working as little as 5 hours a week for survival....

You should ask the 100 million people who were slaughtered by the leaders of the best economic system ever, I doubt they will be that responsive though
