Is there anyone out there that agrees with me when i say that theoreticlly communism could work, see i believe that every government has greedy upperclass types, for example the politics that run the country are all rich, Now I think that the reason communism doesn't work is because all the politicians still remain upperclass and have more than the normal citizens (which defeats the purpose of communism). Well tell me what you think, I am pretty mashed right now, so forgive me if i look like an idiot.

In theory, communism is far better than capitalism, but it's unrealistic in practice, because of greedy leaders. That's why small communes work perfectly.

There has yet to be found a good system to run countries. The people running this world at the moment ar complete idiots. communism would work if a country is wealthy and the goverment fair and people would work for their country on a non-forcing way. So communism would only work coming from both sides but since capitalism already owns most of thise world...i doubt seeing people giving up all their fortune just for Commies sake.

yeah, I see where your coming from, and yeah it's bloody unlikely that the government, any government would ever be fair enough for communism to work. The reason I would like a proper working communism is so that I wouldn't have to work and i would get like everything for free and just sit back all day and smoke billies.

If you dont want to work, you'll hate communism mate, haha. You DO have to work only for non-profit...all the work you do is for the goverment and they make sure everybody in ur country gets equal money and stuff like that. Mostly its not even money but just the stuff you need. If you would want a car for instance you'll ask the goverment and in 2 years or so you have your car. Dont expect a ferrari tho

So it's pretty much working your butt of for nothing and get the stuff you need.

thats what i am saying, is that i would just use the necessities that are distributed, and may i add i am talking about if it worked properly without the govt. being greedy so they distribute it fairly, in which case it wouldn't be anywhere near as bad as you speak of it, what your saying is how it works now.

Yeah! I am talking about how it's now but it's not gonna change if you ask me. Just imagin Bush or Blair or any president saying. Oke folks so much for capitalism, let's try communism. And heres all my money! And here you can have it all! Heres a car...It would be great I agree with you on that one

but people are just to....evolved in a wrong way

yeah thats what i am saying is that it wont happen cuz those pricks are too greedy, but that if it worked properly then it would be really sweet and a good form of govt.

I know! We start our own country...some island in the pacific or something and call it Weedtopia and everything is chill. We got some peeps making food. We got peeps growing weed. The Island is too small for cars, so we dont need those. We just have everything we need right there on that island and everybody will get what they need.

VIVA LA REVOLUTION!!

Man I'm fed up of everyone blaming the government for everything! I bet none of you lot could do any better, I certainly couldn't! Running a country isn't easy ffs!!!
No, I don't think communism could work, there are always people who want more than everyone else or would not work as hard as the others and they would upset the whole society. It would be quite demoralising to work hard only to have alot of what you worked for (basically) stripped from you and given to some lazy cunt who is trying to get away with doing as little as possible.
I don't think capitolism is as bad as its made out to be, I work hard for my money and I like to spend it on things (mostly green, music and hifi kit) and I couldn't do that in a communist society. Yeah, there is always gonna be some tit who gets given a high paid postion they aren't fit to be in, some people who are only interested in money but thats the way things are and there really isn't alot anyone can do about that, they'll get what they deserve one day.
