Communism is a system of government where the social order is the same for everyone. Everyone is equal, except in a country where Communism has been abused by a dictator and/or political party. In this form of Communism, everyone is equal except for the members of the political party and/or the dictator.

Communism will never work.  Why would you bother to work hard when you get the same for your hard work as some lazy ass?  The biggest problem with communism is it doesn't take into account one simple factor:  human nature

Write a note! you must be joking??\nThe Russian revolution brought about a massive change in the way the country was run politically, the Royals were 'Done way with' (quite rightly)!and the people took over, this caused a lot of dissent between various groups of 'People Leaders' these little problems were  'democratically' resolved by the leaders bumping each other off, they then had a USSR! A United  Soviet Socialist Republic! Not Communist, socialist!\nMany Socialist believe Communism will really arrive when all Socialist countries unite under one banner and all adhere to the same form of Socialism, it's not all over yet by a long chalk!\nThat's your note! \nIf you would like to offer me a commission to write a book on the subject I'm open to offers(business is a bit slack at the moment!

a communist system could be democratic...there are, for instance, socialist countries now in south america where their leaders were elected.\n\nbut communism differs from capitalism in that in a communist society the means of production (factories) are woned by the state.  in a capitalist country - like the US - private individuals own factories etc. and make profits from them.\n\nin a communist country money is supposed to be distributed equally....the state makes the money and distributes it equally.

No, communism only works on paper. In real life application it fails miserably

Communism is a society where the Government controls and distributes everything, usually by inspiring fear in the populice.  \n\nThe above answer better describes socialism then communism, though both are remarkably similar.

Communism. Well, in Communism, everyone gets the same wage. So if the person next to me has only made one pair of shoes and I've made thirteen, how is this fair? Also, if you are making nails they'll tell you to make a certain size. But what if it's to small? You can't build a house with all small nails. \n\nIn communism though, since everyone gets the same wage, they people that need to work even though they have lost a limb get paid the same.\n\nIn Communist China, everyone shares land. It isn't your land, it's our land. So if you had a farm and I lost some of my crop, I could take some of yours. Even though we get paid the same, I may still need some of your crop for food. Also in China, you are allowed one child. If you have only one child you get tax, (or something like that) deductions and you get benefits. Everyone wants boys for their kids so that they can work on the farms. That is why many Chinese put their daughters up for adoption. \n\nSome nations that are Communist are North Korea and China.\n\nThis is all I know.\n\nfor more information go to: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communism

That's a very ideal argument.  Communism is responsible for many human rights violations.  I have a friend from Russia who tells me about the atrocities against people of her ancestry, mainly Ukrainians and Gypsies.  She is a descendant of the warrior class and her family lost all their wealth, land and titles.  They had no religious freedom.  Gypsies lost their traditions and couldn't move around and were forced to assimilate into a society created out of fascism and colonialism.\n\nIf you missed a day of work, you went to a concentration camp.  They killed off the aristocracy and enslaved farmers and the middle class. Artists, the homeless and the mentally ill were rounded up and institutionalized.  Take Kruschev, the supposed liberal, tolerant one.  He sent away artists who went against state-enforced policies of socialist realism in art.  You could not leave the country and come back freely, you had to defect if you were an athlete or in the ballet, Mikhail Baryshnikov, for example.\n\nThere is no capitalism.  Now there is too much poverty in the West but that is because of our own doing and policies.  It can be eliminated.  You cannot produce growth and profit for reinvestment in a communist economy, which is a false economy and not a natural one.  The 'invisible hand' that aids the middle class doesn't exist.  There is no motivation for ambition and success.  Freedom is complicated, sophisticated and demanding.  I like an intellectual challenge.  Culture and intellectual discourse, along with religious freedom and freedom of speech, disappeared in Russia.\n\nThere are still some remnants of the old system.  You can be placed in prison or a work camp for being on the streets and suffering from the disease of alcoholism.  They still want to preserve their aging nuclear arsenal and cannot afford to purchase uranium for nuclear reactors.  They want to keep fighting against the Chechnyans in their civil war.

Communism is almost non-existant in developed countries. Although during the Soviet reign, they have split Germany in half, which I guess- you could call a crime. Look into Ronald Reagan and the Brandenburg Gate, he had an address there, against the Soviets, very powerful.

Karl Marx, Frederich Engles, and Co. did.  Of course, what is Communism again?  I know the governement didn't control people and money.  Especially in the Soviet Union.\n\nPatriotism\n\nValor\n\nLies\n\nTruth\n\nReligion\n\nIdeology\n\nHatred\n\nLove\nAll have been used to control people, money and institutions.  Whether their use was ethical or not is another question.  Read Plato's Gorgias

The Soviet Union was not true communism, it was a dictatorship with classes like rich and poor, I don't really see much difference then what we have here in America other then we get to vote our own poison.
