The fall of the USSR and Cuba are not good indicators. More mismanagement than anything.

Join the revolution. Che and Lenin would be proud for your support.

Yes, I agree, the fall of the USSR, the birthplace of communism, is a bad example. "All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others."

"A capitalist society will eventually in time turn into s communist society " said some important guy back in the 40's, I think he was knocking man's tendency iof greed to take over.

Because the whole "sharing" thing goes against basic human nature.

Always has, always will.

The socialists models only work in theory, not IRL.

Communism = North Korea, where they've brainwashed to think a fat boy with a bad haircut is their Jesus.

Socialism = Venezuela, where it's taken less than one generation for their economy to tank out and now government is having to raid the private businesses for assets, or just completely shut the businesses down and take over because there is no motivation for the business to produce more than the minimum because of the insane taxes.

Because, once it's in power, the state refuses to wither away.

Communism & Socialism rely primarily on people's desire to take care of others in order to function.

Capitalism relies primarily on people's desire to take care of themselves in order to function.

Which of those two do you think is the stronger motivator?

So to answer your question:

quote:

Why Aren't You Communist


Because it has never worked and will never work due to the fact that at it's most basic level it is designed to fail. People care for themselves more than they care for strangers, and that cannot be socially engineered away.
