Communism???

Question

Why are people so afraid of Communist/Socialist countries???

Answer 1

The fear of the unknown and some even think,
communism equals Soviet Union. But that was
an oligarchy of course, in the end phase. There
has never been indeed communist a country .
All attempts to install turned quickly into some
other forms, (ochlocracy, dictatorship or above)
There is no such thing like socialism on
the political sextagon, "republic" neither.

Edit:
The genuine human nature is communism though. (grin)
Everyone with at least a faint clue of tribal history will know.
Eventually we'll mature to get it in accordance to civilization.
Until then we are obviously forced to stick with democracy.
Time to list and report all label swindles in our history.

Answer 2

Because communist/socialist systems expose capitalist systems for what they really are. Power and financially hungry. Eat up anyone who stands in the way. Why are third world countries in their current state? So they know their place, so we can expolit cheap labour for our high street shops and so they will never gain independence and always rely on others for aid. A superpower cannot remain as such with many enemies so take keep the third world on a tight lease and who's left to threaten? The communist states...

Answer 3

Communism and socialism are contrary to human nature.

It is wrong for a person to steal from another person.

So it is equally wrong for a person to send their agent (in this case the government) to take from another person.

Communist and socialist governments are by their definition designed to institutionalize that sort of theft, while republican and parliamentary governments simply seek to represent their people. Eventually when those governments start to redistribute wealth to a point beyond their populaces tolerances, that's when revolutions happen.

Answer 4

If you go to one of them and live there for five years you'll have your answer. It can't be explained nearly as clearly as it can be experienced. An easier way to find out, though, is to ask someone from any eastern european country who was willing to risk death to excape to the west. You can also ask any immigrant in the US who came from Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia or Burma.
