there has never been a true communist regime in the world so we cant really gauge whether its better than democracy or not
*cue the USSR and China arguments*
but these are not true communist governments are they?
communism revolves around the basis that everyone works and pays into the national pot then everyone gets an equal share from that pot regardless of what they do to make their money
is this the way either China or the soviet union worked...no...the people who initiated the government had to have the bigger share and so the whole idea falls flat on its face
what i find really hilarious is the way that communism is regarded in the US...the "evil commy bastards" etc
the media have done a sterling job of brainwashing the masses (through fear etc...remind you of anyone elses tactics?) into thinking that communism is a evil concept
but what are the motives behind making people who live in a capatalist democracy that the idea of communism is evil
simple to answer...who controls the media...big buisness tycoons with tons and tons of money...the same people who would be set to lose the most if the people decided to embrace communism
so if you can get the poor people who you exploit to make your money to reject and in fact HATE the idea of communism (which in the US would benefit more people than it would hurt due to equal distribution of massive wealth)...then you keep yourself in money and in power...
that wasnt communism, it was the work of those who used communistic ideas to get into power to then abuse the same communistic ideas to suppress their people by a totalitarian rule of the elite
Is unfortunate how many communist parties which materialised misused the doctrine. These days opinions of the practice are naturally coloured by the events of the past (for a successful communist party look at the Smurfs. Don't let their blue colour fool you)

No thats not true
Democracy the people chose people to do what the people want them to do.
In Communism on the other hand not the people but if at all the proletarians decide what to do....and not even them they don't have real freedom they can't decide for how much money they want to sell stuff. Communism is Bullshit.....you know I like Marx but if everyone makes the same amount of money well that is of course great for the idiots and lazy bastards but nothing great comes from it....plus the people have to be forced to agree to that...look at everyx communistic government ever....if humans were machines well then it might work but we are not and hoonestly I liek that we aren't....oh yes read animal farm thats what happens to all communistic regimes in the real world.

Well Communism is not evil......its a stupid idea though.....in capitalism everything depends on how much your work is actually worth and that is jsut ths best idea...well if you have a minimum of social security at least.

Communism is a good thing because everyone is equal in the communist nation, there is no poverty in communism and there are also no spoiled rich people. Its a semi-utopia.

there is no such thing as a communist nation though, so the idea of a communist state regardless its "good" intention falls flat on its face due to that it is impossible to fulfill

Actually it is a semi-dystopia
Communism isonly an utopia for lazy people....people that love freedom and want to do their best and reach goals....they get screwed up the but in communist countries....we all know that the capitalism as it was practised during the 19th century was wrong....but jumping to the next extreme is in no way the right choice. A welfare state that safes people that can't help themselves and that also helps children not to live in extreme poverty is good but to let everyone be the same is stpid.....someone that works in a factory doesn't create anything that is worth as much as what a doctor for example does. What has to happen is to give everyone the chance to do something with their life something useful....something great......a nd communism doesn'T really bring that out in humans.
In conclusion....Communism Sucks....its not evil or anything but if I'd life in a communist country I would leave as soon as possible.
