Welcome to Gaia! ::

I'm not saying Cuba is good right now, I'm just saying we forget to mention good things about them. Castro's an idiot and everyone knows that, but now he's going to die so that's ok.

QFE.

And, I think the reason Communism doesn't work is human nature. Look at all Communist countries. There's always millions of people starving with one oligarchy, living it up.

Is it equality that a North Korea citizen lives on only about $100 annually and has to eat dirt to survive will Kim Jong Il spends $600,000+ dollars on gourmet food and liquor?

In Communist countries, the only equality I see amongst the lower class is their misery. Wait, isn't Communism supposed to be a classless society where everyone's equal? Oh, right. It is. Of all the Communist countries that exist in the world, none of them execute the doctrine properly. Karl Marx would be ashamed of how they're warping his ideas and ideologies.

It's almost comparable to the Muslim extremists who warp the Qu'ran and the concept of "Jihad" into destroy all infidels.

You all can argue with me if you want, but I just think Communism will never work because people can't properly execute the doctrine.

(BTW, at the person who claimed Hitler was Communist... That's the polar opposite of him. He was a Fascist. That's the exact opposite of Communist on a political scale. Who said that anyways? ._.)

Really, I think the proper term for North Korea and Cuba's government would be "Supreme Dictatorship."

About Islam, I actually read the Qu'ran and there was a quote that denounced what the Muslim extremists are doing.

Jihad should only be fought in defense, you cannot kill women, children, or the elderly, and that conversion cannot be forced.



And that other religions were Allah's Way



As anyone can tell, the extremist's Jihad's motivation is greed.

But, I digress...

I definantly agree to the fact that it would probably never work because no one can execute it correctly. I think once people get that little bit of control, they want to keep on building on it and there would be really no one to stop them.

I don't know if I exactly like the idea of it all. If I'm working much more and much harder than my neighbor, they are receving the same things I am? Yes, that would eliminate the lower class and make them better off, but still I think it's full of loopholes and whatnot.

@ Hitler Statement: Well those people don't even know what they are talking about. They probably go into the ED thinking they are all smart and talk like a n00b. Stupid people XD

That's why you steal the checks-and-balances system, and DON'T have a supreme dictatorship. Because more often than not, dictators turn out to be assholes.

Thanks for not misusing the word "ignorant." People use it as a bad thing all the time!

and other people *cough*kenneth*cough* always use it as if it meant 'stupid' or something. such as an ignorant driver. one who does not know the rules of the road is ignorant. one who decides to speed up then slow down, then when you try to pass them speed up again, then cut you off on purpose, then slow way down, and then 'miss their exit' and swerve way over is just a stupid bad driver. they are nto ignorant. ignorant does not equal stupid. it is a pet peeve of mine when people get those mixed up.
