AMEN Brother. This community died right about the time they changed the boards.
Maybe they should take a hint, but they won't.

I would like to make clear now that Communism was not a bad thing. Lenin was not a bad person. The whole problem was Joseph Stalin giving it a bad image. That lead to many power-hungry and evil people.

I agree with Micah. The USSR was not communist. It was stalinist. China is also stalinist. Cuba is somewere between Stalinism and true communism. The USSR and China have messed up the image of communism so much that many true communists, including myself, prefer to be called socalists. A good example of Socalism is Libya. Sure, it harbors terrorists, but what other middle eastern country dosn't. For more information, go to the Cyber Communist Party's website, (url="http://"http://ccparty.freeservers.com")http://ccparty.freeservers.com(/url) .

Some of you people that have been here a long time has to realize that this is the only community many newcomers to the webboards, myself included, have ever experienced. Sure, it's more like a endless FAQ bazzar, but still. Same thing as the EV/EVO websites. I personaly hate the new format. But someone new might think they are "really cool" because they never knew that it was once better.

A good example of a society that is as close to true communism as anything are Israeli kibbutzes. They are independent entities that are treated like corporations from the outside, but function like communes from the inside.

Actually, you can't have a communist country because it beats the entire purpose of Communism. It's not a political system, it's an ideology.

Just look at the very name of the USSR.... Union of Soviet SOCIALIST Republics. The country was led by the Communist PARTY. The party followed an idealogy, communism. And of course, the ultimate goal of communism is not to HAVE countries, and until that time you have socialist led nations under one authority....

BTW: Cuba is more like a dictatorship/socialism....

Actually, mikee, a communist country would be defined as a a nation with definite territories, the operation of which, and the actions of whose citizens, would be governed by a communist ideology. Decisions, ideally, would be made through a direct democracy. However, since such a gov't does not drive itself, overseers are always necessary. Such power gets abused, which is why we can't have a purely communist country of any respectable size.

The purpose of communism is not get RID of government. First government takes control of industry and business... than everything else. After the country takes over the world, after all boundaries and threats are abolished, then the country can safely reduce its government until a anarcho-communist world society results.... a utopia.

absolutely true, stalin wasnt a communist btw...and communinism is directly connected to community...this webboard should go communist!!! HAHA

------------------

Communism in it's purest form actually is a good thing. The idea that nobody is better than anybody else. In Communism, there is no money. Everybody works, produces as mush as they can, and shares throughout everybody. Everybody gets as much as they need, and nobody gets less or more. The problem is that there really HAS to be a leader. If there is a war, then who decides who gets to fight? and so on. Nobody can actually mannage true communism, and therefore when people try, it fails misserably. :mad:

Some good ideas have come out of Communism. Like Community, Commute. the idea that people are sharing the road, nobody is in charge, people sharing a small population, nobody is in charge. But it will never work in it's true form.
