People like you are morons.

"It failed every other time, but that is because communism was never done right. We'll get it right next time."

So damn predictable.

Scruffy hates that people as dumb as you are allowed to vote.

Well it is kind of hard to do it "correctly" when pretty much the rest of the world tries to stop any nation that is even close to true communism/socialism.


It doesn't work, and will never work, because of human nature.

It might work in a hippy commune with 20 like minded individuals for a short period of time, but never with millions of people from all different backgrounds, demographics, and cultures.

the one suggestion that I can give is actually do some of your own research into what socialism/communism really is instead of just parroting all of the red scare bullshite you've been fed your entire lives.
You are a stereotype.

Graduate from college, get a job, and then come back and talk.

It has nothing to do with being "hip".

Those who support communism are cowards. They are frightened of an unknown future. It is much easier for them to accept and live in a world where everything is defined and controlled by the government.

Nothing quite says dedication to the revolution of the urban proletariat like willingness to stand in line for six hours to shop at a government store with isle after isle of empty shelves.

The only way for true communism to work is if literally every nation in the world "participated". That concept is built into the very beginnings of the philosophy. It is a closed system, if any nation didn't want to participate, it would fail.

Second, inherent in it is that you would have to FORCE people to participate. The pie in the sky philosophy is that everyone would just go with it.

That isn't the case, and it is counter-intuitive to human nature and "survival of the fittest".

The only way to achieve it is to essentially destroy freedoms. And we all know how much leftists hate freedom.

If you would just give your economy and wealth to HammerheadLenin and capitulate to all of his ideas and rules, then it's going to work just fine. This time. He promises. Really.

So are you a troll, or just a clueless kid who hasn't had any responsibilities other than cleaning his room yet?

I'd bet good money that you are under 25, working on a liberal arts degree and have never worked a 40 hour week in your life.

I will concede and say that when Skynet and the Terminators take over, pure communism will be the ideal and perfect philosophy.

Unfortunately for the leftist, humans are not machines so it will NEVER work. Pretty much all human nature has to be destroyed for communism to come close to working.
