Leninist/Socialist (i like both systems)

I view communism as the government that the human race should strive for. I believe that America is going imperialistic and therefore is reaching its highest form of Capitialism. I believe that what president bush is doing is just making conditions worse for the middle class and the lower class and is not doing as much as he should be on helping those 2 class's. But president bush does help out the rich... i wonder why?.... Republicans mindset is in the 1920s and i do believe from there we have moved to socialism more and more. This is due to the fact that the masses need to be taken care of in 1 way or another. IF the middle class is ever to go as low as the poor class and the rich class to stay the same without blending in then revolution will spark, in my opinion it will be this revolution that may turn america into a red state either system... Socialism or lazyfare communism.

Communist for me some of them were heroes like Karl Marx and Lenin. I learnt alot from them. My grandpa was a Communist and he established a high school that supported Chinese youth in Indonesia and He fought for Chinese against Japanese troops during WWII. My grandpa is my role model. I am glad that I can join NCS. I want to be like my grandpa.

Socialism is a totally different system to communism but the system of government is for helping the people of any class. I would rather have no class system to begin with but the fact of the matter is no class system ppl do not have as much strife its just human nature sadly soo far. Communism can only truely happen globally.

I believe that a communist government can be created in a country. But it would have to be some sort of Republic to manage military and economy. For a Defense not to be existant is basically the mistake that America made after the Revolutionary war, there has to be some protection for the ppl and laws. Its just human nature that we need a government to control us sadly.

in a Communist country, I think law is needed to control the leader in order to protect the people just like SoViEtTaNkT34 has said before.
having a citizen-formed organization is also needed to supervise the leader's political direction and decision making to make sure the leader wont do anything bad to the people. Since every citizens are the member of the citizen-formed organization, they can vote for their leader for the countries.( of course , the competitors have to be in the same party.If the selected competitor dont want to be the leader,then it will let the second place competitor to be the leader). This will answer the people who concern that the leader will be a dictator.

I'm more a socialist than anything else 3nodding , the only problem is I'm living in a very conservative country (Australia sweatdrop ) and the stupis Australian public (much like the stupid American public) don't like change, thus any change in government is squashed into oblivian here.
So both Australia and America, we're all stupid together whee heart

I view communism to be that which was put forth by Marx in the Communist Manifesto. Socialism is not communism, neither is Nazism. They are related, true, but not true Communism.

I read the Manifesto a few months ago. I was scared, to tell you the truth. I saw the power in it- I saw how a person can be drawn to it and how good it felt, how right it felt. Who would not want to be kind to all, to help out the poor and needy? Who doesn't absolutely dispise some rich person and believe they don't deserve their wealth? Who hasn't felt hard times and known it unfair?

I would answer for you: Nobody.

And this document, the Communist Manifesto, reaches out to all those people. It reaches out to those people and comforts them, tells them that it'll be okay. That if we just band together, work together, we'll all be alright.

But I personally know that I would never support such an Ideal. Why? Because it is predicated on the loss of freedoms. It is predicated on the fact that we cannot dissent. It is predicated on the fact that we have no choice. That we are tools of the state, instead of the state being our tool. And I thought of what kind of government would be required to run such a system. A government larger than any corporation, any other government in existance. One in which its leaders had to wield enormous power. And then I realized why I feared it- I would, in order to live under that system, have to give up my decision making abilities to another. I would no longer be free.

And that is insane.

Canada is not Communist.

Perhaps a bit socialist, but in no way communist. You still have property, which is the first thing to go when a communism is formed.

Side note here: most modern socialists are only people who want to tone down the inequalities created by capitalism. Communism without the loss of personnal freedoms, if you will.

Formic, you're afraid of a big governement, I'm afraid of big corporations. I fear the comming back of life like in the industrial age. How do we little people make sure we are not exploited by powerful individuals, be they corporate or governemental?

Don't give anyone too much power. Corporations rise, corporations fall. Governments are a bit harder to kill than corporations. But it can be done.


I'm not afraid of big government. I'm afraid that the time will come that others will not realize what the government has done to them. As Thomas Jefferson said- The only time the second amendment will be needed is when it is taken from us.

Personally? I can't help but think of stereotypical Russians in funny-looking hats and parkas sweatdrop .

I think it's a lofty Ideal, and it might work well on paper and in very small communities, but it just won't work on a much larger scale, people in general are just too greedy.

The Communist Manifesto is the document written by Marx, Et. Al. and is considered the foremost authority on Communism.

it is available at www.marxists.org should you be interested in reading it.

Communism is evil. The idea that those who work hardest should support those who work worst is grossly offensive to logic. In any mechanical system, what you get is equal to what you put in, and society works the same way. This is the way it should be. Any other way is wrong, morally and in implementation.

The Israeli Kibbutz are examples of why communism will always fail. They started out as communisms, but had to modify thier policies to keep from folding. Ideal communsim cannot exist. Even socialism is contrary to reality. Just look at rent control. Sweden had national rent control for decades, and during those decades it also had the largest ratio of houses built per year to people. This would make you think that they housed everyone quite easily. But instead the waiting list for homes expanded every year, and their homeless per capita was among the highest in the world.

Communists should give up their fool's dream.
