The people who think Communism works are people who don't have a clue what they're talking about.

Only a dumbass would think Communism would work perfectly.

Can anyone explain to me how this, or socialism, can actually work?
Sounds to me like you need an explanation on how it actually works, not how it 'can' work.

Communism works IN THEORY. Never has it been put into practice successfully. Human greed is too high for it to actually work.

I take it you're here for a reason?

Pride.

It sounds so perfect but it fails when put up against human nature.

Most likely.

The Secret Society 95% of activity is me, I could use some help.

In a perfect world people would see the need for improvement and help each other regardless of workload due to it being better for society as a whole and thus communism would work if everyone truly cared for each other.

However, this world is far from perfect, so yes, you are right.

Halo 3 is where the morons of the universe congregates.

I am thinking of an old story. "Three Billy Goats Gruff" (hint the troll dies at the end)

If you had an electron microscope, you still couldn't find the -blam!- I don't give.

People who think communism works are people who think that the world is run on puppies and butterflies and that every man wants the best for everyone.

Communism is downplayed by corruption, which is why it never works.

Usually liberal teenagers who think they're intellectuals think communism works, when it's failed every time it was put into practice.
It has nothing to do with liberals or conservatives; just people who don't understand government systems.

"I firmly believe that any man's finest hour, the greatest fulfillment of all that he holds dear, is that moment when he has worked his heart out in a good cause and lies exhausted on the field of battle- victorious"

In theory it sounds good. But in practice, it fails miserably. Karl Marx wrote books on the concept of communism but he didn't actually explain how to setup a communist government.

Go for it, bud.
Buddy, if you didn't care enough to find out what Communism actually is before making this thread, I have no wish to type out what google already knows. Communism generally doesn't work- certainly not as well as the theory. But your objections in specific are a little silly.

Nobody cares about anyone else's opinion - be it mine, yours, or a cult of angry star wars nerds - when they are enjoying what they enjoy.

Everyone cares about opinions, that's why we socialize on a forum with strangers.

Do people still think communism works? I thought it had shifted to socialism.

  • 12.07.2012 4:44 PM PDT

They wouldn't think a communistic government would work if they saw their friends, family, and other people they knew get shipped off on a train to Siberia where they will die a horrible death.

Or taken prisoner and held to the execution wall to force answers.

Or maybe executed in the streets.

Yeah, I don't think you would be pro-communist after seeing all that.

  • 12.07.2012 4:44 PM PDT

If we disagree, it's nothing personal, opinions are opinions.
Antagonizing me to build a false sense of worth is so damn cute.

Brighten your day with science.
