And also: Dont blame the idea, blame the phonies who preach it THEN display corruption once that power is realised in their hands. You shouldnt have to forget that the USA ran a smear campaign against Communism simply to prepare people for a war with Russia. Responsible distribution and sharing of our currency and other rescources ensures ONLY better moderation (which we are in serious need of!)

Someone who actually believes in Communism would never commit the atrocious crimes that say Joeseph Stalin commited when he thinned out people he didnt like.

PS: Hitler was elected democratically, but I think we already KNOW democracy doesnt work.

Yes, so many lives were lost under those who practices communism, but death could be affiliated to most every other sort of government and even religion, eg. The Crusades.
Even the Americas, when they fought the Revolution, didn’t want a Democratic Government–They originally intended to be Confederate–Which would have, in turn, made slavery more powerful in the rural South.
Even after the Articles of Confederation failed, slavery was still around for years after. The line ‘all men are created equal’, in the Declaration of Independence, only referred to White men–not Black or women.
That was all because of people.

And even in the modern America of today, the rich are rich and the poor are poor. And society just LOVES to make a point of that; the differences between the privileged few and suffering masses are apparent, regardless of the type of government in play.
To reiterate, this is because of people.

People feel and think. We fear and are angered, we bleed and feel joy, we can be physically and/or mentally ill. We have pride and we have honor.
Because the people can be so vastly different, clashing and merging with one another, it is no wonder there is so much death and chaos in the history of humanity. Because we create errors.

But people can learn from those errors. We learned the A-Bomb is a big ‘no-no’, for one. Most of Germany refuse to put their flags up save for extremely special occasions[or in conjunction with other world flags] for fear of being seen as prideful or a threat by the rest of the world. Although, that’s not exactly ‘learning from error’ and more a ‘following result’.

People grow and change; we’ve seen that over the years. Is it so terrible to think that if people can keep their selfishness in check, that a society where all are equal and no one is significantly richer or poorer than another, is something worth having?
If all of humanity’s faults COULD be done away with, Communism wouldn’t be so bad.

However, it is impossible for all faults to just…disappear. The Ideals of Communism takes a backseat, as it is blamed–by people–for those who extort their means of power. People kill people, regardless of their name, origin, or government.

It’s not the idea that’s at fault–It’s people.

Please, please, please actually READ the history of communist countries… they murdered millions of innocent citizens to establish their regimes. Communism does not work!
