It puts fear in capitalist societies which prevents them from exploiting the workers as much.

Its okay comrad, we have WEF approved ground roach/mealworm protien shakes. You eet zee bugs, while they eat zee steaks. Everyone wins.

Does this come with artificial whey flavor, or does that come out of my ration budget?

It isn't full of sweeteners that give me diarrhea to stay fit like in capitalist countries, right? They put real roaches in, not rubber ones, right?

I just can't digest the rubber roaches, even if they're great for my figures.

Its all has to come out of budget, equal is equal and you getting more for free is anti-communist. Be glad I'm in a good mood comrade, else I'd report you for looking for loop holes like those capitalists always do.

Because they associate lenino-stalinism with communism...

Sure, in a small community where everyone knows each other it usually works fine as social pressures keep people in line from abusing the system, and because you see the people that benefit from your work, etc. There are plenty of small communes and businesses that run in a purely co-operative way that have existed for decades and some that have been going for more than 100 years.

It isn't a system that scales up to a nation though, as has been seen over and over. Relatively small homogeneous nations will face less problems than large and populous ones that basically end up indistinguishable from any corrupt despotic system of government.

There has never been a truly communist society, apart from a few on small islands, so really we wouldn't know. Certainly all of the large countries that claim to be communist are not.

We should have Liberia and or Chile embrace true Communism. If it works for them and they start making the USA, Canada, Australia and Western Europe’s capitalism look less desirable then we should try it out. If not then at least we weren’t hurt.

Nope. There are none, except for the guaranteed death of a society.

How would you know? Real communism has never actually been attempted in the world. There have been variations of it, but in a "real" communist society, no one would have more "power" than someone else, no one would make more money than someone else. Everyone in that society would be equal.

The closest thing to a real communist society we have in pop culture is the Federation in Star Trek. There is no money, and the guy working in the bowls of some star ship, dumping human waste into space will be just as valued at the captain of a ship. They would both have equal access to the same food, entertainment, and luxury goods.

But most people don't like to think about that....

Nations like America are currently communist in most aspects, people just don't see it yet.


There are 96 Democratic nations on earth, America ranks in the lowest 5% for freedoms, yet its slogan is the land of the free :)

There are more murders, rapes and drug overdoses in the USA than in the other 95 Democratic nations combined.


Canadian standard of living is 7 times higher than the single highest state in the USA ( WA ) Australian standard of living is 4 times higher, Japans is 13 times higher, Singapore's is 87 times higher.

The difference between being born in Singapore VS the USA, is far more extreme than the difference between being born in Iraq or the USA.

You are 12 times more likely to die at work in the USA, than you are as a drug addicted sex worker in UK.

Children in the USA ( between the ages of 6 and 12, are 700 time more likely to murder, than a criminal gang member is in Japan.

TRUTH MATTERS! :brotherfist:

Generally speaking, most communist countries throughout history never claimed that they were fully communist, just that they were gradually working towards a Marxist ideal through incremental reforms.

They are many positives and well as negatives. Im to tired at the moment to write things down so im linking this link...

https://connectusfund.org/15-major-advantages-and-disadvantages-of-communism

1. It reduces the impact of socioeconomic differences in society.
2. People start life off with the same opportunities.
3. Employment opportunities abound in Communism structures.
4. Educational opportunities increase during Communist rule.
5. It creates a stronger social community.


Even tho im anti-communism, the system does have some good benefits for it's people.
