Why do folks like comunisim?

Name: Anonymous 2011-04-26 9:10

I hate it,simply due to that
Communism will at the end of the day be worse than what we have in this country currently,I mean...look at history.

Secondly, I think it's bullshit to pay a open heart surgeon,the same as  a road side garbage picker.

Last of all, It's impossible for the government to manage every single aspect of a large economy.

So why do liberals,or who ever champion Communism?

You best be trolling, in perspective the most important thing at the moment is not some social revolution but technological progress. Over the past 200 years the biggest changes have been technological and they have allowed the economy to support the social conditions needed for anything other than a north korea style totalitarian dictatorship with a king at the top, a few lords in his inner circle, the military one rung down, maybe some propogandist clergy and everyone else as beasts of burden.

Anything to destabilize continued technological progress is a bad thing, save the revolution till later.

Actually it was the communists that reached space first. Actually it was their dog (laika) if you want to be precise. The capitalists came second. How does this make a communist society technologically inferior? Also, I happen to know many people from the eastern block. They all admit that despite the lack of freedom, the education level was excelent. In romania for example, every graduate got a job. If they had good uni grades, they worked close to home, if their grades were average, they had to commute. There was no unemployment. So technology is not a privilege of the capitalist world.

The point is that neither communism or capitalism are good enough for today's world. They are both dinosaurs of the past and they're going to have the same future as every dinosaur: in history.

And here's a chalenge for you: Find any old communist from the easter blco (except for albanian) and ask him a difficult art, poetry or literature related question. I bet you'll be fucking surprised. Also, the guys are so much better educated in maths and physics than your average westerner. Unfortunately I can't say the same about the people who grew up in the same places after the fall of communism.

Pro tip: If you really want to discredit communists, the best example to use is the red khmer and Pol Pot. What they did had nothing to do with communism but it will piss the shit out of any real communist to be compared to the khmers!

I thought the soviet union wasn't "true communist".

The soviet union had a planned economy but it ploughed most of it's resources into military R&D because they were bloodthirsty tyrants desperately trying to figure out how to take over the world without making the same mistake as the Germans, Yuri Gagarin didn't find himself orbiting the earth because of the worker's desire for achievement, he rode a modified ICBM into space, they never bothered sending anyone to the moon because there's no point bombing the moon.

Also, neither pure communism OR pure capitalism have existed yet. In fact the only pure system that has ever been practiced fully is tyranny.

The soviet union was a dictatorship, it used severe political repression against it's own people and those in eastern europe and actively supported communist guerillas across the world which started civil wars that would hold back most of the 3rd world.

The communists invested heavily in rocketry and astronautics because of it's potential military applications, they did not invest in color televisions or other consumer goods because it didn't benefit the brass as much.

The soviets didn't develop anything.
What they did was steal everything from germany. And then spend the entire cold war taking information from jews in the USA to keep pace with the US.

The united states poached Nazi scientists too, double standards?

The poached nazi scientists then developed on the idea, that's why the nazis never put a man in space.
