No, banned

Of course you're here

You too. It's wild that you're defending the institution that brought misery to a lot of people.

You sure you're not talking about life in Russia and Belarus post-1991? You literally explained life outside of St. Petersburg, Volgograd, Moscow, and Kaliningrad. But okay....

I love how you conveniently left out the lives that perished during China's Great Leap Forward and their immediate adoption of liberal market policies as soon as Mao died. But yeah ignorantly explain to me and leave out the facts of the totalitarian policies and extremely poor working conditions of the "zero-poverty" policies.

Just because Eastern Europe doesn't know how to utilize capitalism correctly and their politicians lime to treat themselves like emperors and dictators. Doesn't mean that Capitalism is crap. Also nostalgic people like you are the reason tyrants & terrorists like Putin, Xi, Lukashenko, and Orban are in power.

Let's not begin to talk about how many perished under the glorious policies of Communism and the environmental disasters and degradation that occured.... Chernobyl Nuclear Reactor No. 4 ring any bells?

Are you saying that Russia, China and it's communist friends haven't brainwashed you with eastern propaganda? How can someone that was born and lived in the SU have such positive things to say about Communism? Nostalgia has clouded you.

What do you mean I'm too thick?

There's just no way you, a person who grew up in a country such as that, can view Communism in such light.

Well... I rest my case against you. But it doesn't change my skepticism and distrust towards Communism. I don't have many sources, but many have said over here that the economic institution is a true nightmare and hundreds are oppressed.

The fact that North Korea prevents its people from leaving, and China imprisoning any who dare to speak their own opinion. Lest we forget what's going on in Venezuela thanks to Communism.

I would like to know why you think the U.S is a hostile Empire. I mean you can give our past examples of fierce anti-Communism as proof. But in the modern day, many of these communist nations inflict wounds on themselves via oppressing their own peoples, causing the UN to take action. The U.S would love to work and better relations with the 5 Communist countries of today, however it is them that are the problem, not us.

Juche and Stalinism are proven to be perverted from their missions of Communistic ideals and were made by corrupt people who had zero care for their own population.

Not meaning to sound like an ass, but can you give examples of Communist countries that have had success in the long run? North Korea and South Korea were neck-to-neck in the 60s and 70s, since the SU's collapse things haven't been well for NK. China and Vietnam ironically had started to adopt market-like policies in the 80s and 90s. Cuba has been in a flux since the Soviet Union fell.

But Humans are selfish to the core, Capitalism has always been flawed without human greed, however Communism and it's derivatives have been suffering because of human nature being selfish and rotten, See Stalinism and Juche

Human nature is way too selfish, narcissistic, and greedy for communism and it's other branches to work.

Its a term I made up. The one explained in the Communist Manifesto, the true Marxist interpretation, preluding the heavily modified one and more popular Marxist-Leninism, it speaks of a society in which classes do not exist, and the workers truly have control of their society without Government presence.
