The idea of its final, near-utopian, stage is nice, but nobody who has tried has ever gotten there. Basically it's never gone well.

China may be something of an exception to this, but they're hardly the worker's paradise that communist tries to be.

Don't you have a protest to attend to?

Cuba is doing just dandy.

@previous (valkonen !0VegJ9Jl.Q)

Protesting does nothing. The worker's revolution will arrive all on its own, and is inevitable as the proletariat slowly wake up and shrug off the bourgeois bonds shackling them down to the current system.

They're doing well enough, but communism hasn't really worked out well anywhere else.

REMINDER: bourgeois is French for the middle-class. What are you trying to prove by trying to destroy the middle class? Do you want the divide between the rich and poor to be even DEEPER? You are retarded, even by the standards of communists.

There are no rich in a communist society, moron.

Everyone would either be middle-class or poor by today's standards. Do you want everyone to be poor? Need I remind you of the tens of MILLIONS of Ukrainians that have perished under Jewish Communistic rule?

That wouldn't work. Some people are always going to get a greater share of money or resources in a society.

Also, most of the leaders of communist societies so far have been fairky rich compared to their citizens. Slightly hypocritical.

I stopped reading here. There is no class in a communist society, so this statement is nonsensical.

Bourgeois snakes who slime their way to power because of apathetic and decadent societies which allow it to happen. These society's are psuedo-communist. Communist-in-name-only. They're the reason why the revolution has been delayed for so long.

Closest we've gotten so far. Ask any of the founding leaders of the USSR whose work they based their policies on. Your friend and mine, Karl.

Honestly, we've heard this tired line from the extreme left for over half a century. Like a beaten housewife, swearing that This Time Will Be Different.

Meanwhile millions moulder in umarked mass graves.

If you like living in poverty while those who are valuable to the communist state live like kings, sure.

Actually, "bourgeoisie" is French for "city dwellers" and refers to middle-class merchants in cities.

I think that the Chinese will export Socialism over the next 100 years in the same way that the US exported democracy over the last 65. The problems the Chinese face will be alleviated when they surrender more and more of their government to the people and they slide into socialism. I believe that in this century China will rise up, and when they do I believe the world will try to copy everything they do.

There is nothing wrong with sharing goods - but being forced to do so by the state is wrong.

Under anarcho-capitalism there will be liberty for people to form whatever voluntary associations of property they wish - communes, co-ops, kibbutz, whatever.

Voluntary, stateless communism is rather wonderful and appears to have been practiced by the early church.
