Opinion Why is Communism still around?

[CauseImbetta]

It's clearly a disaster. It boggles the mind that people are willing to die for communism. Today we still have rebels fighting some government in the foothills of some mountainous dump living off coconuts because they want everyone to be communists. Even though it doesn't seem to work very well.

Plus notice every communist country is a dictatorship and poor? That must be the reason why some power-hungry leaders like communism. Becase you can be a didictator.
Struggling communist fanatic rebels when get majority always become dictators.

Communists are the most fanatical group and kill millions upon millions of people. I don't get it.

Better question, why is democracy in debt to communist China.

One good thing about communism. They learned a long time ago that you cannot trust the general dumb public with such important tasks such as voting.
Liberals will vote for a Kardashian or the rock next go around....

Communism is still around because capitalism eventually leads to massive wealth inequality. And so long as that happens there will be people who advocate for a system that claims it can prevent it.

Because capitalist countries just let it happen because they don't want commies running around their own yard. At least some are willing to contain them.

what kill more than capitalism? fuck off i don't believe you. people kill people, not beliefs. the beliefs are just the bullshit justification wrapped around the action. people kill over land, food and power. they always have, i have never heard of a war that wasn't fought over stuff.

And thus it always will. Unless we're going to transform into a genetically homogenous species, the pareto principle will manifest that inequality in pretty much any sphere of production.

 

[Farmer Br0wn]

Because lesser people find it easier to steal from their betters rather than to earn their own wealth.

We owe like 5% of all our debt to China

Great idea. Wrong species.

 

[ineverpost]

Every government system is run by the most ruthless and self serving people. That is the only way to get power. At least a system of capitalism admits that truth, instead of giving massive power to those same ruthless and self serving people, as is ALWAYS the case under Communism.

 

[livingdeadmoose]

I don’t know why other countries are still communist, but as far as why it still has support in the U.S, you can thank college proffesors.

 

[EmpireShallFall]

Because communism is just.

 

[Social Distance Warrior]

Despite its repeated failures in practice, we will still have many simpletons who argue, "but but that wasn't/isn't true communism!!

Works for China and Vietnam. What is key is unified nationalistic homogenous population and everyone pull their own weight. Communism and socialism is doomed in a multicultural society let alone with competing stupid fairy tales (religions) and or ethnic tribal differences. But religion main one. You also cannot have weak family system whether it be state or what or bums and people not contribute.

You do run out of people money if nobody does fair share. And yes i know China not full communist. But they have to be capitalist to compete in world.

Communism exists because of jealousy and envy. Equality of outcome never makes sense and never will. Work hard, hone your skills, educate yourself and you'll rise to the top.

If communism is encroaching, diversify your forms of currency. Understand that non-monetary forms of currency become more important than the printed form. Hide and store abilities to produce and diversify. Don't flaunt anything including your intellect, knowledge and preparedness. Be part of the mass without being part of the mass.
