Stalin's and NKVD (Beria, Jezhov) mass murders and gulag labor were not part of communism. That was just terror and opression from Stalin the Redneck and friends (which he told to execute later anyway).

When Lenin was at charge, the only murders he told to do, were commited to secure the revolution. He killed potential people who would stand against him. Stalin was a different story. I don't even find him communist.

lets see, would you rather be under communism, were everyone has a job and a home, or capitalism, were you have a home untill the goverment takes all your money to give to the rich people, and you get stuck in a gutter with no job or home.

I have great job and and have a nice place to live Communist sympathizers just over exaggerate this old used excuse, I would rather live poorly than in a in a corrupt government where you have no freedoms like in a current day communist country.
hell and in america only homelessness is a small problem and as for taxes most of them go to social security and other government programs like education and military. they don't go to some fat cats.

Cootie that's how it should work when you think about it logically. But believe me it's nothing like that, my country was in the Soviet Union for over 50 years and it was nothing like that. People had a lot more honor back then, even though everyone got payed roughly the same amount of money you still couldn't do shit with it. You couldn't buy anything with it, only the necesities to survive (unless you were a member in the Party). People weren't lazy because working hard and making an honest living was the only life they ever lived. Actually, we were generally a lot more happier even though we didn't have many toys (and mayo, that shit was rare).

Still, compared to the western world we were living like rats.

Communism COULD work.

Just as any system COULD work, it doesn't mean it will.

It really goes against your point when rising powers like China, who were once communist, switched to capitalism and are now booming. Or the old glorious superpower USSR, a communist power.

Or is that all just coincidences? I think YOUR head was filled with lies about how Communism is a flower filled field where everyone frolics and is happy. And also, in communism there wasn't any rich or middle class, just poor.

Totally agreed. People were more friendly, the jokes were funnier, the money didn't corrupt anyone.

It didn't corrupt anyone, because it had no value, and if i knew what would happen just 20 years after, i would sure value those times more than i did. Now it's sad, how fucked up people you find on the streets, noone has time, and all those kids bitching about their parents forcing them to learn foreign languages, because they need to find a good work (good work = 2000 ru/month = 64 dollars) in the future.

With no money, people were concentrating on other values, like friendship, their enviroment, fashion.

In timme of communism, the best vehicles came out of Russia, because people cared for prestige, not for money.

Makakov that's exactly what I was talking about! People were a lot friendlier, and as you said they worked for respect and prestige. Now if you break the law you're usually concerned about the money, but back then people actually felt bad about it. Life was a lot easier.

But some people will never understand that we were happy even though countries in the soviet union didn't have capitalistic luxuries.

1.
USSR:
-First man in space (undeniable fact),
-First woman in space (undeniable fact),
-First dog in space (undeniable fact),
-First satelite in space (undeniable fact),

USA:
-First man on the Moon (said to be Fake, many proofs for, but also against).

2. I think it was Regan, who stacked to destroy the communism economicaly. But also yea, people fucked it up by their dishonesty.

The moon landing is only called fake by idiots and conspiracy theorists. Semantics.

All the "proof" that it was fake has been since disproven.

I still think that capitalism is a far better system. And, the USA landed on the moon first. Don't listen to all the conspiracy theorist because those guys tend to be complete loons. I think the Soviet Union collapsed because communism can't last imo.

Communism is awesome. I agree with the roots of communism.

People are not so awesome. People are greedy. People with power abuse power, or get overpowered as that power goes to the ones who overpower them. Therefore communism will not work.

In an ideal world. Honestly, I wish it would work, I prefer that view, but at the same time, there are flaws in it because of human nature, and I know for a fact that I wouldn't be suited towards a communist government because of my own nature.

We actually watched a video about the American communist party yesterday. He seemed to belive that were ''simply misunderstood and would rise up into power in the future''.

I don't know how he came up with these strange ideas but it seemed to start after we watched the USSR National Anthem in class.

Because you're not being a narrow minded fuck by calling everyone on this site a narrow minded fuck.

Disagreeing with the popular opinion is not the same as thinking for yourself. Grow up.

Oh god, one of the only cool parts in FO3. Maybe the Coolest. God, that almost makes the game good, just liberty prime man, just fucking liberty prime, nuking the shit out of enclave fuckers....

Anyway, I only see a problem with the whole government aspect of communism. Socialism is okay, since it doesn't quite interfere with personal rights, but full on government control does not sit right with me.

He probably doesn't know just how effective it is when put into practice - especially in a capitalistic world, where everyone is looking out for #1. And there's nothing wrong with either system, it's jsut that people aren't too big a fan of following the rules. Communists aren't exactly a national security threat these days, there's no need to get too worried about it.

Actually, research shows that humans generally consider themselves as "free thinking" "not brainwashed."

So for every "brainwashed" person you see, they themselves think they are a free thinker. The point of this is to tell you, people think YOU are brainwashed right now too, while you don't consider yourself brainwashed.

Moral: Don't judge yourself, your judgements mean shit.

i just want to say that when i work at a job i wanna earn money for me and my family. Not for the state they tax people for money. Also everything that i buy with my money stays mine,so for the governemt to come in my home and place twenty people inside who basically messed up and couldn't work hard enough to fix themselve are just magical going to be helped by this great government.

by the way that means you have no property of your own, and it belongs to the government...commie is all about the people who run everything, if your not running it then your being used by it and is nothing more than property so they ingore that you have human life.
