Yeah, I get long-winded when talking in politics, and I kinda drifted off there...but I still think it's all related in a big way.

I didnt even try to read your wall of text but everyone who has had this discussion with intelligent minded people all know that as someone stated before flawless, the unfortunate reality of everyone being paid the same wages for what are clearly more complicated jobs breaks it. Also no one bring up china, everyone knows they claim to be communist but ever since the UN gave back hong kong they adapted to some socialistic customs like free trade and stuff. I think. or something like that.

The United Kingdom had Hong Kong.
Free trade is a Capitalist idea.

Cool i knew some things were right.

@ tural, there was this propaganda poster from WWII that said that "if you ride alone, you ride with hitler" in support of carpooling. lol.
and that picture makes no sense, when i look at this its saying "if the US was communist, everyone will be choked, while simultaneously being on fire and not being burned."

A nearly uniform tax rate is laughable in America. If we taxed the rich more, and shifted our priorities, this COULD be the best government ever. We COULD pull off really great things if the people in power grow a pair and go for the people instead of who gives them $10,000 for their campaign.

Haha, dont assume. Assume = ass of u and me. Neways, personally I would like to continue discussing this. Though, this thread started on Communism, so I feel its best to stay on topic. Ill send you a PM.

It has nothing to do with Hitler. If you Knew who Senator Joseph McCarthy Was, You'd get the poster. Joe McCarthy was a Senator, Who "hunted" and "rooted" out communists within the Federal government. He basically used the Red Scare to his advantage to gain public backing until they started to televise his attacks on supposed communists and people saw how unfair he was to him, and all of his credibility was lost. He was a big fat lol.

Good concept, indeed, but you would practically have to completely take greed out of the human personality to do it.

Get back on topic, Narker.
Make sure you make a rude comment towards that part of shadowkhas's post as well.
kay.

Just sendin' him my opinion... that's all...

No, you were attempting to impose your ePenis on me and hawking for a mundane thing to criticize elements in my posts that would normally be overlooked. I was simply responding to another post in the thread, which violates no rules and is not against common forum etiquette whatsoever. In telling me my post was redundant to the topic, you:

a) Overlooked a one-word response by Philly, "Woah", thereby implicating you believe it follows the topic.
b) Produced two posts which also fail to follow the criteria you have established as an acceptable "on-topic" post.
c) Informed me that you are inept enough to still believe that my post was unacceptable by failing to apologize for your inane response.

On-topic: The Soviet Union was only good for the music that was produced during its reign.

And yes, I know that by making this post I as well hypocritically brandish my ePenis.

It's my turn.

And to be on topic:
Communism doesn't work to the benefit of everyone. To say that it just hasn't been implemented in the way it should is just naive. It won't ever work, it tries too hard to be utopian and just ends up being exploitable to anyone with any influence over people.
Not to say any other system doesn't suffer the exact same problem.

When they put communism in china, instead of making everyone in the middle, they made everyone poor. And while doing that 50000 people were killed.

Communism, does not work in reality. The leaders get corrupted with power and it's nowhere near equal for everyone. This happens with all communist countries. Communism as it is intended though is a good idea like marxism. Sadly it's not that the idea is imperfect it's that people are. Goverments become corrupt and it turns into a dictatorship. Communism will not work in a country without becoming a totalitarian goverment.
