[QUOTE=The Goddamn Clint Eastwood;1334819]The problem isn't communism. It's a very good idea. The problem is that it's never been done right. Nowhere is it written in the idea that a communistic society must be ruled by a dictator or a tyrant. Those circumstances merely came to be, most likely because of tyrants taking advantage of the common ownership of the means of production of their nation, under the ideology of communism.

There is nothing the matter with communism, but rather, the people in charge of communistic nations.[QUOTE]

Good response... You are obviously very well informed as opposed to most people who have posted in this thread. I agree, the problem is dictatorship more than anything... the inherent problem lies in the fact that not everybody was created equally... there are retards and there are geniuses... hard workers and slackers. The problem with communism is that the needs of the many will be supported on the backs of the few; not to say that that isn't a huge problem in EVERY society, because it is. However, in a capitolist economy every human is afforded the opportunity to rise above the rest, seperate himself or herself from the average population and become something great. Success is impossible when you are chained to an idealogical system designed around equality. It's a eutopian ideal that can and will never work. Human beings are animals, we're just exceptionally smart and well adapted to life on Earth. My point is this: if everyone has equal shares of everything, who enforces the rules? Who is in charge of equal distribution? Who creates laws? Why should an electrical engineer have the same assets as a picket fence builder? What's the drive for a person to learn new and valuable skills? Who assigns roles?

Communism isn't freedom. That's why I don't support it. I don't do well with rules. I think that the majority of society's rules are put in place to protect the weak and limit the strong. Here's an example: I used to do mixed martial arts. When I first started out when I was 18, there was 5 rules. Last "show/fight" that I did we had to go over 3 pages of single-spaced 12 point font worth of rules. That really takes the fun and freedom out of it. What I'm trying to convey is the idea that rigid rules limit freedom, and there will always be a seperate group of individuals to enforce those rules upon the masses.

Communism is flawed. Capitolism isn't perfect, but it's better.

The only way to protect freedom is to limit the spread of flawed systems such as dictatorships and tyranny, otherwise future generations may not be able to do things as simple as walk outside and piss on an apple tree in their own back yard. It may seem brutal, because it ****ing is. Communism is slavery and my DNA will not grow up in chains.

"Heeeeeeeere commies commies commies!"
