I see a topic on here that is called Is Communism bad

Post Reply New Topic

I can't understand why anyone would ask that question look at the milions Communism has killed. Stalin was no better than Hitler Communists and Nazis both killed milions in slave labor camps.

The thread was started by a fundamentalist Christan who saw
the idealistic goal of communism as similar to Jesus' teachings.
The reality is the very human nature that keeps most people
from living according to Jesus teachings is the very reason communism would never work. Its just an impossible dream.

Ok Sorry I did not know that.

very true, machine1. but do you think this human nature you speak of is innate, or is it not possible that it could be the result of the conditions under which humans have existed for the past few millenia or so? and if so, is it not posible that it could then change?

i dont know how anyone could post this

Stalin was not communist he was a dictator
should it actually happen there is nothing wrong with Communism ............ however accepting things as they appear is bad
what many say where necessary means to the end of communism where Lenin's means to increasing his own power
what you say where the acts of communism or fascism where the acts of totalitarianism

edit prehaps one could consider it bad to create a second topic instead of reading the original thread and adding your opinion to it


sorry im angry about something else

Practice does strange things to systems. The general ideology of the conservative Republicans in the USA is that government is bad and should be minimized and eliminated where possible. They therefore govern badly and permit private businesses to take over as much public service as possible. This has lead to much corruption and misery. It does not prove anything about the nature of government.

I don't think Republican politicians actually believe that, it's just the way they market themselves.

Their ultimate messiah, Ronald Reagan, frequently remarked that government was not a solution, it was the problem.

...and people eat that rhetoric up. Some say he was responsible for the greatest expansion of the role of the federal government in the last century.
