What's So Bad About Communism?

So, as all you know, in the past we've(America) had some really bad incounters with Communist counrties, which has led to making Americans think that they are both really bad government systems. Well, I've got some news, not all communist countries are evil and dictorious.

Let me explain some stuff about Communism. We all know that the soul purpous for it is to have everybody equal. Usually, a communitstic approch is to make the people middle, or working class. Now, in the past, when communism is taken by a government, they tend to abuse it. The one thing that's not so safe about communism is there is no branching of government, like how America has the House of Rep., the Judicial branch, and the Executive branch. That, is why it's soo easy, usually millitary leaders, take over the country as an evil dictator; i.e., Hittler/Germany, Stalin/Russia, Mao/China, etc.

But, what I say is if a new country with every body just starting out and stuff, if they chose to have a Communist country, but have a Branced Government,no one person can take dictatorship.

Discuss, do you think this could work?

its not fair in communism we could both be cobblers i could make one pair of shoes u 20 but we both get paid the same its not fair

Human beings are very greedy creatures. It would never work because humans always feel they have to 1-up the rest of the people in the communist society. With communism also comes lazyness. People think : "Why should i work my butt off and get payed the same as the next guy!" This kind of thing causes outrage and frustration. I state of mind that usually leads to chaos and unhappiness; happiness being the concept many humans reside on to live.

A. How could people cooperate like that in a large group?
B. I don't know. Maybe. But I'd have to read into Communism a little bit... I'm not really sure what it's all about.

I don't think it would work. :/
Unfortunalty, human beings are selfish.
"Communism" is not a walk in the park.
When you think about it, neither is a "Democracy".
To an extent, it is.
To another, it is not.
Politics is just dirty.
Nothing is 100% fair.
But maybe I have gotten off topic.
-back on topic-
The Government isn't as sweet and nice as you.
They don't think about "Communism" that way.
Too bad, isn't it? :/

It is a good concept, but it belives that everyone is perfect, and that is not the case. Some one is always greedy.

Communism isn't a government. Its an economic system. The problem was that our encounters with "Communism" have in fact been encounters with dictatorships. A communism could, in fact, work well with a democracy. In America we have a capitalist economy with a democratic (really republic) government. The USSR had a communist economy and dictatorial government. And communism has worked before. It is usually seen in small, secluded groups. It has never been achieved on the large scale due to major corruption. It could happen, but it would take a lot of work.

Communism is somthing that sounds so perfect for people on paper, but when we try to use it in civiliazation it seems to end up at a bad end.
