Re: My Conspiracy theory
Doomed to failure.
Overly democratic in theory, not at all democratic in practice.
I could go on, but I can't be fucked.

Re: My Conspiracy theory
Good in theory, poor in practice (due to human nature).
How the hell is your post a conspiracy theory?

Re: My Conspiracy theory
Op, if you've got a conspiracy idea to share, you posted in the wrong forum, and this should be moved to Conspiracy. Otherwise, you might have just wanted a discussion about communism. I think you meant the latter.
On that note, basically what everyone else has said. As good as Communism may sound on paper, it is completely impractical due to our very human nature. In Cuba, for example, a doctor own the same as a bean farmer. That's right, a fucking bean farmer. There is no incentive to work, and therefore the economy stagnates.
I won't go any further, though, seeing as how no one is contesting that view. Also, this shit runs deep.

Re: My Conspiracy theory
Additionally, no communist government has ever been achieved, because it requires a transitional period of "socialist dictatorship" to create a truly communist state, and once you're a socialist dictator, you're not gonna give up your power.

Re: My Conspiracy theory
Isn't "Communist Government" an oxymoron of sorts?
At least the way Marx defined communism there was no class or state.
All the societies that today we call "communist" such as Cuba, the USSR, china were all really more like totalitarian socialists, not communists.

I agree... they are the type of society that allows a whole class of trust fund brats to inherit a good percentage of their economy's money with no understanding of work or the value of a dollar. What's even worse is that they idolize those brats.

Re: My Conspiracy theory
People should be free to buy a plot of land and start their own voluntary commune. Anything else about communism is completely immoral.

Just curious. Would these people still have to pay taxes? How would you regulate these communes?
