The flaws of communism

I can't believe it's the current year and I still meet people who think communism is a good idea.

that's not a flaw..

typically, an idea is flawed if people think it isn't good, [therefore all ideas are initially flawed], and can tell you why

furthermore, an idea can be incredibly flawed even if everyone thinks it is a good idea at the time

An idea is flawed if it cannot be actually implemented and/or achieve its desirable results. Communism certainly falls into this category, even by admission from its proponents.

though the only real test of an idea can be what people think of it..

capitalism has it's flaws too, though at least it provides greedy people with something relatively worthless to lust over, rather than other things...

for it to fail to achieve its desirable results, is for at least some to rethink it's goodness

tfw being grateful we don't use human toes for currency

communism is good retard

Good analogy, communism is like a ``good retard''. Not bad per se, but still retarded.

Communism is nothing more than a label for ``hyper-capitalistic slave society.''

Communism is hyper-capitalism where the ruling elite, hidden behind ``The Party,'' have absolute control over the nation's capital and the productive means. communism doesn't destroy classes, it merely fools the average person into thinking they've been destroyed. This is done through propaganda and by distorting the language spoken by commoners so that they are unable to even comprehend how they are slaves. That's the purpose of Esperanto, for example.

You're either a fool or you're a psychopath who believes he will be among the ruling elite in a communist society, to think that communism is good.

Communism is fine, it's people that are flawed.

Yes, a model for the structure of human societies that is incompatible with human behavior is fine!

human behaviour considered harmful

so the US is heading towards communism? glorious!

"The private and individual is altogether banished from life and things which are by nature private, such as eyes and ears and hands, have become common, and in some way see and hear and act in common, and all men express praise and feel joy and sorrow on the same occasions."[7]

damn, and i thought it was just the capitalists that would steal my toes

Advanced capitalism is the situation that pertains to a society in which the capitalist model has been integrated and developed deeply and extensively for a prolonged period. Various writers identify Antonio Gramsci as an influential early theorist of advanced capitalism, even if he did not use the term himself. In his writings Gramsci sought to explain how capitalism had adapted to avoid the revolutionary overthrow that had seemed inevitable in the 19th century. At the heart of his explanation was the decline of raw coercion as a tool of class power, replaced by use of civil society institutions to manipulate public ideology in the capitalists' favour.

Yes. If communism was a truly dangerous ideology to the political and ruling elite of the US, why do they allow it in college campuses, schools, and all public institutions right up to the top?

People are drawn to communism for the same reason people are drawn to social justice. Embracing communism lets you act as a victim of capitalism. Funnily enough, most of them have never worked a day in their life, being victims only in the sense that they know they can't get away with being useless pieces of shit forever.

People are drawn to national security for the same reason people are prone to brain-freeze. Embracing national security lets you act as a victim of something sweet and tasty. Funnily enough, most of them have never had ice-cream a day in their life, being victims only in the sense that they don't know they could've just gone down to the shops.
