Communism has committed suicide, it is a dead horse.

Why shouldn't they be, isn't it discrimination if they don't?\nCapitalists are still worried to death about Communists,and rightly so (esp USA).\nI wonder why (apart from the stuff they have read in the capitalist news papers and watched on the capitalist TV)\nI don't think capitalists and communists can ever reach a mutual understanding. (Religion is the opium of the working classes) some one once said! he was right. Both sides have committed atrocities, both sides have done some good, is the question meant to prove this sort of reaction?

They're trying to stir up trouble just like the people who post topic after topic spouting "Bush is Hitler!" and "Should Bush be impeached?".\n\nBuncha flamers.\n\nBy the way, Communism 99% of the time won't work unless it's a very small, agrarian community. When it comes to larger, more prosperous countries it won't work. There will always be people in the government that are greedy and feel they are better than everyone else, plus don't you think Communism is unfair? A server at McDonalds would get the exact same amount of everything as a doctor or lawyer, do you think anyone would be motivated to go to college anymore?

CRUSH CAPITALISM!!!!\nSeriously dude, how hard was that?  Think about Berlin, etc.  Also, a lot of the ethnic cleansing had been done in Russia by this point (enough Ukrainians killed off for Stalin).  Uncle Joe Stalin was in charge and FDR had given him rule over a lot of territory unnecessarily.  Comintern would be supported, and the Cold War against the US and the rest of the capitalist world be maintained, especially through vicarious conflicts, like the Korean War, where the Russian Communists supplied weapons and troops to a few idealogical Koreans to "give the gift" of Communism.  The Koreans requested help from the US and the Greeks, etc. (the Greeks had just recently defeated a Communist incursion).

The war in Viet Nam.  Many people were against it on principle, as I was at the time.  (Actually, I was more against the draft than the war per se, even then.)  Many others felt the government should not have limited the military so much, and let them get in, win it, and get out.  I have come to that view myself.  Still others were very supportive of the troops, but not necessarily the government policy.  That's also something I agree with today.\n\nI am remembering that when I was involved in the anti-war movement, there were a surprising number of socialists and communists involved, and the communists especially always managed to come up with money or supplies for protesters, or printing presses, etc.  Nowadays I wonder how much of that money had its origins in Moscow.

Communism is extreme socialism. Marx's idea was to conquer the world for the deserving people (the workers).  This was a truly terrifying prospect for anyone with any brains and gave rise to the fascist alternative socialist system, which was national rather than international.  This system worked miraculously well in Italy and Germany, while the pure Marxist system seems to have been a bust everywhere.\nIn China the Communist Party has realised this and specifically and unequivocally announced that it will pursue a policy of "Socialism with Chinese Characteristics".   In a big country like China, where not everyone is Han Chinese, this can only be expressed as National Socialism.   Does anyone have the cheek to argue with me?

Thanks for the link. Although I have so much to read already, I may have to get that book. I also don't need anyone to tell me that Communism is run by thugs, all power structures have the same problem, e.g. the GOP in this country albeit in a different way.

I am not a communist but in know this.\nCapitalism and Communisima are in a fight to the death.\nCaptilism has better PR.\nWhat we call Communism like Russsia Cuba China is not real communisim its not close, it is pretty much Fascism with the rehtoric of the worker, people ect. Those were horrible, Capitlism is horrible too but not as bad, depends on where you are in the food chain....\n\nIn theory shouldn't everyone be equal. Wouldn't god want that. isn't that what Heavan in our Christian doctrine is all about.\n\nHumor me now.....\nImagine if Heavan were physical place, during the 50 we would be threating to Bomb them....

During a war, the only thing that could help is that one dude try to stop it all. The technology just make it worse, make more peoples kiled... For instance, on of the bigest scientific dicovery for war was the atomic bomb, whitch one the sientist make for scare the dutch nazis. But what does it give? It was almost peace at the end of the 2nd world war, but after the explosion of the 2 american atomic bombs, the sovietics take occasion to start a new war and start to scare the world with their own atomics bombs... \n\nDuring a war, the only way to come to an evantual peace is By discutions and maybe by kicking somme ass! But the big technology will give only trouble, belive me...

In no way war is life.We should take all the available step to avoid any sort of war.b'cozwar is cause of immense destruction.But when war becomes inevitable then we should not  take a back seat and come up to protect our right.

In a nutshell, Communism, at least as interpreted by the Bolsheviks, would lead inevitably to world domination.  Only after the world was under one governemnt could the utopia exist where everything got distributed equally and every one sang and danced all day, etc.  The United States, however, was and still is a sovreign nation not part of comintern (the Soviet term for the allied Communist states falling under the Warsaw Pact; the rest of the world referred to this as the Second World, however).  As such, the United States and its allies were seen as prime targets for Soviet spying and espionage with the vision in mind of subverting sovreign nations and republics the world over so that atheistic communism would reign.  Sen. Joseph McCarthy and many of his colleagues at the time fought tirelessly to expose Soviet agents working in sensitive governemnt positions, but many communist sympathizers slandered the good Senator and his efforts and so his name is continually defamed to this day.  A lot of thanks to a man who only tried to keep America alive...

People shouldn't mock you, even if they disagree. If you strike them down you will only prove them right. I suggest organize a debate.\n\nI for one, disagree with you. I think Communism is responsible for the deaths of millions upon millions of people in Russia, China and  Europe. \n\nDid you know Stalin starved to the death more than 20 million people for the sake of Communism?
