Communism is good in theory, but in practice it usually just ends up being destroyed in a military coup financed by the CIA.
Or being utterly corrupted by people's inherit greed. Because people are so into altruism whether capitalistic, communist, fascist, socialist, whatever...
The few countries that actually are old school communist are in poverty and under dictatorship. You know those cucks over in North Korea that getta kick outta executing dissidents with anti-aircraft guns? They're communists. Cuba? Re-education camps, denials to basic human rights and freedom of speech. Then we we have people like Mao who's killed over 40 million of his own people in China with his "Great Leap Forward." The cabinet minister who tried pointing out the famine issues to him? Sent to a work camp for it, video taped dying in his own feces for Mao's viewing pleasure. You can't even speak out against Mao in China lest you get in hot water with the state. The people are forced to venerate a mass murdering son of a bitch. so much for liberation... Vietnam sold out and now makes cheap stuff like China for capitalist countries. They couldn't even keep up with their one idea of being "for the people."
The only autocratic systems I respect were the European monarchies of old, at least they had some class. And what basic rights they did break, were to enforce some morality onto their citizens. Censorship against degenerate behavior for example.
That said, I love how people get all ideological believing their system is perfect when they refuse to address the spiritual needs of the very thing that'll screw it up, humans. Humans will screw over your system no matter how fool proof you make it, because the simple reality is humans will run your system, and be subject to your system. And unless you deal with the hearts of the people in it, YOU. WILL. FAIL. MISERABLY. This is why people need a culture, not just a state forcing them to follow laws or else. I'm seeing the same madness overtake western systems as well cause they just can't understand this one principle.
Did I preach again? Good Lord I did. I am shameless.
Most interesting. Sad part is that neither Mao, Stalin (not to say anything about Pol Pot) were communists. They were using ideology for their own needs, but we all must agree that both Stalin and Mao found their country with weak economy and military, and left it as a superpower. But yes, i agree, cost was too high, specially talking about innocent casualties. Having a communistic state means working as much as you are willing to while getting as much as you need. And sadly, people have tendency to have more than they would need. And we are just not ready for it. Not to say about losing a culture, history and states. There is no states but one in communism. On the other hand, i must say that medias are highly criticism on anything that have, had or will have touch with, be it communism, or just socialism. I'm a person who comes from a post-socialistic country, and if i may, life before was much better than it was now, thanks to NATO aggression. Now i live in a, sorry for swearing but shitholle of a country with medias glorifying western capitalism. For me personally it would be alright if we actually went to that capitalism, instead we went to broken neo-liberalism, which, that whole countries of western Europe already proved, does not work at all. Now, I've taught not to trust media ABIT, as most of the things they are showing either benefits them, of benefits those people that are on power. That's why we got mentally ill person to be our prime minister, and no television, newspapers or whatever else are saying a damned thing. Not to say that we tried to remove our today president from power, but, unlike in 5th October, when all of the medias (that are indeed funded by west during that time period, i do not know how it goes now, but likely even today) keep saying that we need to remove Slobonan Milosevic from power. Do we live better today than back in the 80s? Don't think so, now no television even made a 5 minute program about us trying to change something few months ago. That's how it goes my friend, i keep hearing about crimes Soviets or Chinese or we did, but dear lord, i haven't heard about crimes that west did. Actually i hear about them, but no one gives a damned about justice and equality to the law, since law is corrupted as well.
I can grasp that idea.
All duty is sacrifice, people need to be willing to step out of their comfort zone to assist the cause of their fellow man. Nowadays people get worthless degress in gender studies rather than finding a trade/profession that actually has practical application to societal needs.
So basically, you went through what Russia did after the fall of the USSR? Understandable. The got a taste of western capitalism and it ended up being the wealthy exerting their influence over the disenfranchised. Hence why they hold such a veneration of Putin. He dealt with those people and basically rejected the concept of capitalism his country had been exposed too. Albeit, a corrupted form of capitalism. Kinda like the version my country is in today which is crony capitalism. Big government and corporates peddling each others pockets rather than allowing the free markets to do their thing for the middle class. If you ask me, both you and I hold the same sentiment in this regard when we reminisce over capitalism and communism. Both were abused by those in authority and twisted.
I can't forget what the acclaimed Communists did tho, those things were monstrous. And what Capitalists these days do isn't much better with all the damn proxy wars and if you ask me, cultural appropriation.
The United States and Europe basically joined together in screwing over the middle east and creating the refugee crisis which is now tearing Europe apart. So, that is a crime in itself. Is it mass genocide? That could be argued given all the fighting. But it's certainly mass displacement of people. And now we have decadent western culture and more traditional Islamic culture butting heads.
Ive been a Christian much of my life, all I really want is for the west to go back to it's roots in the faith. That would change things greatly if people ceased be so hedonistic. Hence my argument on hearts, culture. And that's honestly the best way to ensure a system works, when the people operating in it, are honest. If people don't believe in integrity, telling the truth, a higher authority, then what will become of us? This has become us, this mest up dystopia of nihilism and mania. They've made a mockery of every principle we were sworn to uphold and emulate with their hubris down through the decades since this evil gripped the west. Do you think the American soldiers who died on D-day would continue fighting the Wehrmacht if they saw the **** that's been peddled in their country today? They'd think we were insane, thrown down their arms, and joined the Germans.
In anycase, we should take this to private chat if you wanna talk more. Sorry that I get up in arms but once in a while I get an itch to talk.
"acclaimed Communists" are not the true ones!!!
So stop bashing "communism" as it never was such in china or USSR
You right in most of this, only the last sentence, I must criticise: As a German I truly know its important to know what mistakes my ancestors made, and learn from that: Genocide is not the solution !!!
You're right in that regard, but nonetheless Communism and Capitalism will be blamed for the abuses of their users.
As for the genocide argument, never said it was. Given the majority of the military and civilian populace weren't aware of the death camps I can't even say an allied soldier would know till after Berlin fell. I had to stress the culture shock allied troops would've felt seeing their countries 70 years later.
I know George S. Patton would've had such a hissy fit it would've brought forth the four horsemen of the apocalypse followed by the second coming of the Lord. Grunts would be slapped, politicians cussed out, there would be no end to his tirade on this side of the grave. Come to think of it, I'd have liked to see that.
