im not getting into a debate about modern day politics but i would like to address these statements abotu communism and help further the understanding of what communism is, in its original form, how it was intended to be by marx.
communism prohibits religion in public and the whole labor force would be unionized.
so vince, i hope you realize the sperm's getting to your brain.
communism does not prohibit religion, or anyother behavior that is unrelated to economic activity. in a true communist society , like th eone marx wanted and envisioned, there would be complete personal frreedom outside of economics.
If you cut out free trade of goods from other countries, force people into believing one religion or idealogy, enforce martial law upon people, and remove worker's rights to form a union...then that's communism, dipshit.
BTW, other than Native Americans and actually Mexicans, everyone else is an immigrant from either Europe, Asia or Africa.
your confusing totalitarianism with communism. yes, totalitarian countries like russia under stalin did do soem of these things and they did call themselves communists, but calling a dog a cat doesnt make it so.
capitalism is an economic system; communism is a political system.
you can be a communist country with a capitalist economic system (look at the Chinese today).
Please read some more a book.
communism is an economic system, put into action through political means.
china is not a communist country, it just calls itself that.
again, you can call a dog a cat but it doesnt make it so.
Trotsky disagrees; "syndicalism (which uses unions as the basis of its economic system) was an embryo of a revolutionary party as against opportunism, that is, it was a remarkable draft outline of revolutionary Communism."
And religion? Lenin thought religion stymied human development, Marx called religion the "opiate of the masses," and the book "ABC of Communism" claims that "communism is incompatible with religious faith."
You pretty much described the opposite of communism.
marx was an atheist and anti-religious but his communist ideology did not have anything to do with controlling peoples personal behavior. it was limited to economic activity.
heres a short course in communism 101 for those of you having troubles with its definition=
1. abolishment of all private property.
2. every resource becomes the property of the community as a whole.
3. the resources must be used in the most responsible way possible, ensuring the most effecient and productive handling of them.
4. equal distribution of the resources to all humans who take part in the production processes.
5. those who do not participate and are able to do so are not given anything.
everyone is left to do whatever they please, behave in any manner in which they want to, so long as they are contributing to society. if they are not contributing, they get kicked to the curb. unlike what conservatives would have you think, the communist system is very hard on slackers, much more so than our capitalistic socialism we have in the u.s., europe, and elsewhere.
