  • To all the revolutionaries of the world, to the Syrians fighting Assad Bashar and his family, to the poor revolutionists in Peru, to the Zapata warriors, to the Egyptians, to the Tunisians, to the Algerians, to the Libyans, and finally to the Kurdish guerrillas and the PKK that fight against Turkey's genocide and discrimination, I hope all of these brave people destroy their oppressors and create a better country for their people. From a Kurdish Revolutionist. Peace to all who seek it.

  • Not government is good ! You need learn a survival on the world . And we should stop talking about it

  • If you live in communism's country , you will fucking understand

    Poor , hungry , No Freedom , Unfair ,... etc !

  • way to many people commenting like they know shit, just shut the fuck up and listen.

  • Capitalism doesnt work, socialism doesnt work, and communism doesnt work. So what the fuck works then? The only form of government that ever works is one that is made of people who embody a set of morals and goals that agree with the people. And these officials put the greater interest of the people above their own interests. No "system" of government is really better than another because they are all extremely vulnerable to corruption. Without good leaders countries will fall, no matter what.

  • Fuck the Second Republic. If they had the balls to beat the Nationalists they would have.

  • @EatYeFigs Finally someone with sense.

  • @EatYeFigs surely you must be high to believe that capitalism leads to monopolies and fixed wages when it is the very essence of the free market, free competition that ensures that no such thing will occur, go take a fucking economics course rather than bashing my God you fucking putz

  • @TomPayeaLive Dude are you fucking unable to comprehend mere fact. Open your eyes and look at your country. Capitalism in THEORY is what you say it is, key fucking word THEORY, not reality. Let me give you a layman example. Car salesman has a piece of shit car but continously claims it is a great car internally.His goal is to sell it to you, he doesn't give a fuck about what happens as long as he gets paid. Hmmm sounds a little familiar don't you think.Do you even know how the recession happened

  • @EatYeFigs big government or big job producing industries, but you must pick one. we can all be equally poor and recieve equally poor healthcare and education, or we can have no one tell us what to do and create and organize our own businesses without a godless legal entity stealing our labor and using it to build stealth bombers, you clearly have already made your decision so don't bitch at me when FEMA is ass raping you in an internment camp

  • good job!!! you're very talented.. we are HollywoodAMT, a site were talents can upload their audition videos in order to get discovered by the hollywood music producers, acting directors, and agents we envited to the site. so, rappers, actosr,model,s musicians,singers,dancers go upload your videos now!! at HOLLYWOODAMTdotCOM!!!

  • @SherShahSuriKhan you are clearly the idiot. We are discussing economic policies ya goof.

  • @SherShahSuriKhan Nor do do you need it with socialism. There comparing economic systems.

  • down with the pathocracy that is the fiat currency system!

  • skip to 2:35 for the good part

  • Are some of these pictures of the maoist insurgents in Nepal?

  • capitalism<facism capitalism creates only rotten minds like facism did

  • @beastcod2quickscope you are right to a small degree but certainly wrong in your definition of communism, until you stop submitting to government manufactured labels used to alter you opinion so you have and excuse not to care you will never be right

  • FUCK THE TOP COMMENT

  • @AtheismCentral fuck your failed abortion 

  • Ark of the covenant is the EGYPTIAN-a contract between pharoahs-and SIRIUS A-is that xzhibit-I Like BOOT CAMP CLICK though-its good to see these niggas kinda come around

  • BIGUP HAMAS

    

  • capitalism<communism<democrati­c socialism

    Capitalism is inevitable to turn into a plutonomy run government due to the venal nature of the wealthy, fuck capitalism!!

  • @SoDrigh Capitalism is just another name for dictatorship, and is not compatible with a democratic society

  • @VirtuosoX1 aha what? thanks for telling me what i already know. But actually a vestige of capitalism in a democratic socialist government works. Look at Norway, the vox populi states that they are happy and stress-free.

  • @SoDrigh capitalism<communism<democrati­­c socialism< Libertarianism

    All centralized power becomes corrupt

  • @iinventedthequestion democratic socialism is not centralized power so idk where that is coming from. BTW classis liberalism is synonymous with capitalism. LIberal economic policies is what America tries to impose on other nations time after time again. You are confused with economic liberalism, and true liberalism. Eg. WTO the most corrupt organization is an advocate for liberal policies.

  • @SoDrigh libertarianism as in anarchism or no state or authority

  • @iinventedthequestion I really have no understanding of what your argument is. Do you have one? Or are just giving me definitions. PS Anarchism is disorder politically or socially due to the lack of government involvement.

  • @SoDrigh self sufficient society with no significant government or corporations

  • @iinventedthequestion =anarcho communal sindicalyst

  • @SoDrigh

    The goal of democratic socialism is Communism. so it's capitalism<democratic socialism<Communism

  • @dialectical44 no you are wrong, i say respectively. Democratic socialism have values of communism such as the benefit of the collective group but the keyword being democratic. Denmark is a democratic society, denmark is not communist. Communist implies that there is complete subservience to the state with nationalized resources. In a democratic socialist society, you have the freedom to consume goods, it is not controlled. Communist nations are at the complete control of the government.

  • @SoDrigh you are so fucking uneducated, there is no such thing as democratic socialism lol, who the fuck taught you this? any system of leadership that requires people to be dependant on the government for survival is destined to fail or perpetuate slave conditions, the free market is the most democratic force on the planet, go to college u occupy wall street retard

  • @TomPayeaLive are you serious? grow up. search up happiest place on earth on youtube. It should be showing a prime example of democratic socialism, norway, denmak. You are so ignorant, you are thinking about communism, communism is run by a despot, not always but most of the time. But in essence a dictator. Im not gonna even right the whole thing to you, ill let you find out on your own, i wont nurse you.

  • @TomPayeaLive Im not gonna nurse you the differences between democratic socialism and communism. You clearly dont know, search up happiest place on earth. Should be about denmark, norway. The paradox of your statement about capitalism gave quite the laugh. Is america not living in poverty, does it not look like they are slaves to the 1% that they work for? Free market being democratic!!!??? You cant be serious? CEO's have been lobbying the president for years for deregulation and huge tax cuts.

  • @SoDrigh CEOS who make billions of dollars, pay either the same or less taxes than the lower to middle class. Im not in college and i know more about politics than you, so don't be so insolent. You need to learn to get a dictionary and try and undertsand what democratic socialism is.

  • @SoDrigh america isnt the way it is because of capitalism, its this way because it has corrupt politicians, the media, and stupid citizens.

  • @AngryKhan plutocracy, look up the definition, i stated that.

  • @SoDrigh then basically you said nothing of use, because socialism is in the same boat as capitalism in regards to plutocracy. This country ran for a good 100 years just fine on capitalism, the only reason america is the way it is is because americans are lazy compacent sheep.

  • @AngryKhan 100 years? are you fucking insane!!??? the great depression? after reagon implemented reagonomics, after the 80's yah there was prosperity but it was only a time bomb for what was to come, the great recession. How is socialism synonymous with plutocracy or in the same boat as you claim. Elaborate.

  • @SoDrigh i said for the 1st 100 years, not 100 years ago. Communism has proven to be flawed, as well as many other socialist governments.

  • @AngryKhan At the time when America came to be was that not n the cowboy days? I wouldn't know but you must keep in mine that there was no government then. Everything is flawed, its just which flaws effect which people. Capitalism benefit the already rich and the poor continue to stay poor, unless stricken by blind luck ie. lottery.

  • @SoDrigh Word. Everyone should read Noam Chomskys books. Start out with some videos here on YouTube if you want to know what he is about.

  • @SoDrigh so does communism and socialism and anarcho capitalism and every form of government. nothing will be perfect due to our greedy and controlling nature. capitalism is just as imperfect (in real life) than any other political philosophy.

  • @SoDrigh Socialism doesn't work in some countries because its people are fat and lazy. same with capitalism. We just need to work for ourselves and if we are successful, we can choose to provide for our community, not be forced too. Greed and envy are still in communist countries because we can't escape the nature of man. We should Keep government out of the private sector, and encourage citizens to be charitable.

  • @SoDrigh boss extorts workers<Workers' control their production

  • @noprofitmaximierung capitalism<anarcho-communism

  • @SoDrigh Government has nothing to do with capitalism.

    Or at least, it shouldn't.

  • @Solkovsky Yes it has everything to do with capitalism. And no offense all governments should have a huge role in order to keep the economic cycle stable rather than volotile. The american government is a plutocracy; in other words an oligarchy. They de regulate everthing, give huge tax cuts to the 1%, they don't interfere when times are rough. You should try and understand how america fell into the recession by the force of capitalism and laissez-faire principles. I'm tired of explaining this.

  • @SoDrigh Communism fell apart sooner and was ALWAYS controlled by ruthless dictators. It has taken 200+ years for capitalism to even start to fall apart. Even if it is inevitable, it is 100x better than communism. Communism<Capitalism<Democrati­c Socialism

  • @Benjefwil Fidel Castro? Allende? They were both men trying to help their country, relieve it fom poverty. There was also a president in phillipines who was one cupid son of a bitch BUT, he helped his people nonetheless. He gave them everything they needed to which some things you guys in america don't have today.The theory of communism is far better than the theory of capitalism IF the ruler is competent and not in for self interest. Although it is hard to find someone like this, not impossible

  • @SoDrigh The theory of communism fails not simply because of the leader. It fails because it is poor at allocating resources. That is why you had massive surpluses of goods like grain or chairs in Russia sitting in ware houses, yet the people had no access to these goods. Communism is terrible at allocating resources to where they are needed. That is why capitalism/socialism hybrids work best like Sweden. Communism leads to massive famines like the ones seen in Russia, China and Cuba.

  • @Benjefwil Think of it as a car racer. If you put a freshly licensed driver on the f1 track, surely he will not persevere. But if you put a man competent to his task, there will be no end to what they can achieve. Hitler was a great ruler, he was one of the smartest politicians i have seen, BUT his perspective was a disgrace. If we had ghandi or the dalai lama or a buddhist or whatever, i guarentee that their country will be a safe haven if you will. America is the home of the wolves.....

  • @SoDrigh Refer to my reply to SoDrigh it applies to your comment as well.

  • @Benjefwil They run in packs and are greedy as fuck when it comes to meat. In case you didn't get the metaphor, I'm talking about your oligarchy, plutocracy you call a "democratic government" lol. They stick together at all costs and take every peice of change they can squeeze out of your already empty pockets.

  • @SoDrigh I agree America is increasingly becoming as you have described and something will have to be done about it. However, it has take 200+ years for it to even start happening and the quality of life in America is still very high. I have lived abroad and about half of my friends even in the US are foreigners from Asia, Europe etc. so I have a pretty good idea how American life compares to other countries. In communism you never even have money in your pockets.

  • @SoDrigh And if you did they don't squeeze it out they take it or they kill you. Then they promise to provide goods for you but as I have mentioned either that doesn't happen because of corruption or even if they are not corrupt, Communism is so inefficient at allocating goods, you will end up going hungry while there is a warehouse just sitting there full of unused wheat.

  • Comment removed

  • @SoDrigh So if you guys say Capitalism has some big problems I 100% agree. But, don't even try and tell me Communism is a legitimate alternative. Communism is one of humanities most costly failed experiments.

  • @Benjefwil That depends on which definition of communism you use.

  • @ammoMtaFoY Which definition do you use then?

  • @Benjefwil theres nothing wrong with communism it was just never properly implemented no idea is 'Wrong 'until it becomes corrupt im my opinion

  • @matmasters3 The problem with communism is that it is inefficient in its allocation of resources. Also there is little to no incentive to do the tasks that no one wants to do. Like clean sewers or sort garbage at the landfill. Even if there were no corruption communism would still fail. However like I said I am know hardcore capitalist I think we do need to introduce more socialist measures to provide safety nets and well being to the people of the world.

  • @Benjefwil and the problem with capitalism is that there IS incentive. incentive to make resources scarce for the sake of fucking profit. that's why the IMF forces developing nations to sell them their water in return for bailouts, and then sells it back to the people at an increased price, WHILE not maintaining the wells at all, thereby further perpetuating the spread of malaria and other diseases.

    Resource-based economy is the only way to go if humans have a real future.

  • @acepimpin11 Actually wealth rules.

  • Euphenosium is the only way forward. All the rest of the crap is propaganda. United humanity for the win all as one... Fuck seperatism and individualism its only a fascade to seperate us all from each other. most of these CEO's/ so-called Rulers of the world aint even of human origins anyhow they just inbred freaks of nature who cant even control a backwards infantile race like ours... too much tamering with our DNA has ass raped them, we are homosapien incognito come fuck with us bitches!

  • FUCK the Red Star...do for YOURSELF instead of letting a Government do everything for you, Once they're powerful enough to give you what you want, they're strong enough to take everything you have

  • @JHMED6 I say fuck the red star, whether its in a communist government parade or a Macy's day parade. They're really giving corporations everything they want, and now corporations are getting strong enough to take everything away from everyone else. If working class people don't try to steer the helm, people in business suits are gonna do it for them ...as long as there's a helm in place anyway.

  • shut the hell up with your gov't shit its a song not a subliminal message attacking your views and frankly no one cares about your one viewpoint

  • OMG IT'S MY PRESIDENT TITO on 0:27.....

  • fuck gaddafi

  • @dgabbless That is true with all government types.

  • Payday Monsanto raps circles around this guy. He's far more knowledgeable too. This guy insists on saying Bush brought down the towers but Bush is only a puppet. There's a much bigger picture that Technique just can't grasp.

    watch?v=NOSu6uMzL44

  • @22MRMafia

    Don't be so stupid. What he did? People have had better life than most americans will ever have. But they pumped you with their informations and you're the believer. Fucking retard.

  • @Em3r1c4

    Don't be such retard, I'm also from Slovenia and I know very well what live was under the socialism. You fucking motherfucker, don't shit here, capitalism is much much worse than any communism.

  • Individualism....That is what America was founded on, then collectivism was slowly pushed on us. What we need is a return to individualism....SINGULARITY

  • even the ants and the bees live in the service of a ruler who asks for their mindless obedience, what chance do we have for something better? what matters is the struggle cabrone. what does not kill us......

  • Bullshit, fuck you anti communist. @em3r1c4

  • What if we lived in a world where there is no money. Everything is free, but what will let us work you ask respect from others.

  • @MrAlsharis We lived in a world with no money, but there is always currency. barter and trade system. nothing is free, never has been, never will be.

  • @MrAlsharis slavery... all the same !

  • I WONDER WHAT WOULD BECOME OF IMMORTAL IF 9/11 NEVER HAPPEND?

  • The total population of Libya is 6,461,000 people.

    An 80% MAJORITY fully support Gaddafi and a Green Libya.

    Of this remaining 20% MINORITY (1,292,000) disaffected and disgruntled – how many are ‘ultra-conservative and/or fanatical?

    There are ONLY 10,000 (so-called) ‘rebels’ (many shipped in from other countries).

    By what ‘right’ does a small MINORITY (of ‘fanatical extremists’) seek to dominate and control the vast MAJORITY - by violent and aggressive force?!

    Long live Majority Rule!

  • @TheAnimatorEqualizer that is NOT true AT ALL, a very small minority supports him and they are sometimes paid. The man is a fucking dictator. Do you understand what he's done to his people and to people around him?

  • @TheAnimatorEqualizer SO CALLED REBELS ARE US SPECIAL FORCES & CIA FIELD OPERATIVES LIBYA WAS THE JEWEL OF AFRICA NOW THERE IS MASS GENOCIDE GOING ON TO BLACK in color LIBYANS those who are calling for WAR with IRAN kill yourself instead of more innocent brown people

    END ALL OF THIS!! BRING ALL THE TROOPS HOME!! CLOSE ALL US BASES ABROAD!! END NATION BUILDING!! END THE EMPIRE BEFORE IT KILLS ONE MORE BROWN PERSON

    RON PAUL2012 "we just marched in we can march right out"

  • @TheAnimatorEqualizer

    The use of law to benefit one group at the expense of another doesn't gain or lose morality based upon the amount of supporters of the law. Morality and justice aren't popularity contests.

  • @TheAnimatorEqualizer

    what if the 80% isnt really 80% but more as Gaddafi just saying that...just a thought

    other than that majority fucking rule

  • @TheAnimatorEqualizer gaddafi would also make whole Africa independent from Europe. Europe took a part in Libya of economic reasons not because they take care of them

  • @TheAnimatorEqualizer Gaddaffi was a crazed lunatic, a megalomaniac and a nutcase. giving someone 42 long years of rule would make any1 feel untouchable. he deserved everything he got.

  • @TheAnimatorEqualizer Bullshit. Cite the sources of your extraordinary statistics please?

    I would like to see where you get this statistical figure from, that "80% fully support Gadaffi"

    It's so illogical for you to assert that a small hand-full of 10,000 "rebels" could fight a revolutionary struggle against their government.

    Revolutions dont' materialize out of thin air, even if they are influenced and fostered by outside forces.. The hatred and discontent must already exist..

  • @TheMikeRowPhone maybe not 10,000...but there were never more than 90,000 men at arms at the same time in total during the American Revolution against the British, 250,000 total over the years......The war was only supported by about 40 percent of the population....about 25% were loyal to the crown(bitches to britain) and the rest were like most americans today...not giving a shit or to scared to say anything.

  • @Turbo05Dodge Kind of a flip-flop on your part. My argument is that in order for a Revolution to come about, no matter what, the anger and discontent must already exist in the people.

    Good that you bring up the American Revolution. How about:

    "The Revolution was effected before the war commenced. The Revolution was in the minds and hearts of the people....This radical change in the principles, opinions, sentiments, and affections of the people was the real American Revolution." - John Adams.

  • @Turbo05Dodge By the way your summary of the war of independence is pretty inaccurate but it's moot so I wont make an attempt to correct anything with only 500 characters LOL.

    My point is simple.. What you say is irrational, illogical and in my personal opinion not even possible.

    You can NOT start a revolution unless the people are significantly angry, discontent and marginalized.. You can only bring these emotions out, foster them and support them. They must already exist, however..

  • @Turbo05Dodge Especially today, after the Revolution has wound down and we know full well the depth of Khadaffi's ruthlessness.

    He had security forces, for example, roaming around at night from hospital to hospital and snatching bodies from the morgues (This is well documented by hospital staff, by the way.) and wounded protestors.

    They then dumped these bodies in ditches and claimed they were evidence of "Rebel massacres"

    Khadaffi was hiring foreign African mercenaries.

  • @TheAnimatorEqualizer Glad I'm not the only one who recognizes that America was the only force behind the death of Gaddafi. Without their intervention, the "rebels" would have been crushed.

  • @TheAnimatorEqualizer well majority definately rules. but, people need to open there minds first, if we have unity the common people will be stronger

    VIVA LA REVOLUCION

  • @TheAnimatorEqualizer Where exactly did you get those figures from. 80% seems like a awfully round percentage to be a credible.

    Either way Gaddafi was executed in a shit filled gutter where he ran to hide from the rebels that defeated his army and took his country out from under his feet so i think that has closed the issue permanently.

  • If you really believe that any ideology or form of government isn't merely for the benefit of the elite, then you're as dumb as those poor motherfuckers freezing to death in Stalin's gulags.

  • this is a new one on me... shit goes hard.

  • democratic socialism for the 21st century!

  • @ranged12345 as long as the politics aint corrupted- which they are. But yeah. Hopefully.

  • @jraider2 there funded by non other than good ol NATO lol....... "if there is no enemy, we will create one"

  • I dig Immortal Technique, but his love of the PLO and other Islamic terror organizations is misguided. They have established corrupt, tyrannical regimes in Gaza and the West Bank. It's so bad that when Israel offered to cede Arab towns, like Umm Al Fahm to the Palestinian Authority, they actually protested! Why? Because they knew that as bad as Israel may be, they have more rights and prosperity there than in any Arab country,

  • @jraider2 I agree completely. He is too one sided he had enshrouded himself in stuff like that

    'I got white revolutionaries like muslims in chechnia'

    They are radical extremists who want extreme Sharia Law I've been there.

  • their is no better government, anything run by humans will be corrupt, we're just selfish beings naturally, except for a select few

  • is this song actually called military minds cuz i cant fnd t on itunes

  • Bombing For Peace is like Fucking For Virginity

    Big cowards since George Bush demolished the towers

    I'm in the hood where the good still battle for power

    It's a revolution, every gangsta born every hour

  • Communism is shit allso. Fucking idiots. I am from slovenia. We had that. Dont be naive. It's all based on monetary systems. Isnt it?

  • @Em3r1c4 Word up. Communism is state capitalism, politicians are still in charge, and classism is just as apparent. Replacing bank managers with bureaucrats and thinking you're free is just fucking yourself.

  • @Em3r1c4 that form of communism is fail. but the original ideas of communism do work, just not in a community that is as big as a country

  • @Em3r1c4 wed all be better if goverments were scared of their people

  • @Em3r1c4 Well there's anarcho-communism, which has nothing to do with command economy and state ownership. The means of production is directly owned by workers, sort of like what certain facets of the Solidarity Movement wanted. People democratically run their selves without a board of investors or politburo, and goods are produced and traded on a free market. The Mondragon Corporation in Spain is an example that co-operative based labor like this can work on some level.

  • @Em3r1c4 Better than your nazi president, who paid Germans for taking all the jews to camps.

  • @Em3r1c4

  • @XKUNXEntertainment

    we are a slave to our debt...

    "Give me control of a nation's money and I care not who makes it's laws" — Mayer Amschel Bauer Rothschild

  • @Em3r1c4 not to be disrespectful but you never had communism, no country has. you had socialism. the entire eastern bloc was socialist and consequently a disaster, seeing as instead of the governments influence being gradually limited to where communism could be achieve, there was an increase in centralization. this over centralized society couldnt compete with the rest of the world. socialism leads to communism but only if there is a surplus of resources. there wasnt due to poor economic plans

  • @jcavanugh147 With all due respect, it could be argued that what the eastern bloc had was neither communism nor socialism; rather, merely 'State capitalism'.

  • @Em3r1c4 in theory communism is great, in practice it never works (and probably never will due to inadequacies in human nature)

  • @dgabbless

    lol, keep repeating the bullshit they filled your ears with.

  • @AtheismCentral for crying out loud. the bullshit 'they' fill ears with is that communists are evil, i have friends from russia and other eastern european countries who are communists and GUESS THE FUCK WHAT? they are normal people who believe that people acting as a community for the advantage of all is better than the capitalist idea of fucking everyone over for personal gain. sure i dont think some of their ideas are right but listening to other political ideologies helps me refine my own.

  • @AtheismCentral tldr; fuck people unwilling to see the good in something they dont completely agree with, fuck bigots, and fuck you.

  • @dgabbless Define work. I would say capitalism doesn't work. If a small minority control all the wealth and the power then I would classify that as not working. The reason communism didn't work in places like Cuba, USSR, and China was because they did not make a slow transition to communism. Europe is becoming more and more socialist. Socialism is the stage between capitalism and communism.

  • @ChipsandLAWLsa an excellent point. look at whats going on here in australia for example. america woud almost certainly call alot of our policies socialist and communist, but due to these 'socialist' policies we have the second best living standards in the world.

  • @dgabbless Well said. Canadians can make the same argument.

    Heavily subsidized with massive social programmes.. Yet we didnt' get our credit rating downgraded? We didn't lose our entire housing industry? 75% of our consumers didn't have their capital whiped out when the housing market (Equity) tanked, either..

    'cause of tight regulations on banks, social assistance programmes that consumers could then fall back onto and keep the cycle going.. Contrary to what happened in the U.S :)

  • @dgabbless Yet so many American presidential candidates argue that the U.S needs LESS regulation... LESS Social programmes...

    It's completely illogical to me, I don't know. Just can't wrap my head around it :|

  • @TheMikeRowPhone Regulation is reduced and increased in the wrong areas in the U.S. There is too much regulation and taxation on small local business.....I've grown up one and one that deals in land development at that....so trust me, I've seen it for 20 years...They deregulate and help the big boys do whatever they want, and then piss all over the small companies that run this countries economy...or should and used to anyway.

  • @TheMikeRowPhone its like they completely forgot that laissez faire economics created the largest economic crash ever

  • @ChipsandLAWLsa true tht but than who wiill be the pratorian race for the united states such a vast middle class it'll b a civil war

  • @ChipsandLAWLsa That's not entirely correct.. That "Socialism is the stage between capitalism"

    You cannot point to western European nations as "Socialist"

    There's a major, major difference (Believe it or not.. Google it LOL) between "Socialism" and "Democratic Socialism"

    They're not just buzzwords, trust me. Western European nations including Canada, Australia etc. are Social Democracies, not Socialist.

    That means they implement Social programmes from within' a Capitalist environment..

  • @TheMikeRowPhone so does the U.S....

  • @ChipsandLAWLsa The reason Western European nations choose "Socialist Democracy" instead of all out Socialism is because the transition is brutal and dangerous.

    Time and time again modern, civilized nations have crumbled into complete chaotic anarchy or despotic tyrrany in their attempt change the entire socioeconomic system.

    It creates a power vacuum, basically. Best way to describe it. (Read: USSR, Maoist China, hell even the French Revolution.)

  • @dgabbless it does work in practice, but the limitations are too numerous to implement it to a group no more than 15.

  • @sgtimafilipino yeah it does work in smaller communities, but i reckon a group larger than 15 could do it if they tried

  • @dgabbless very subjective veiw firstly the only way to talk about human nature is when things happen that shouldnt and when things that should happen dont we are not dertirminded by geniolgy that has been evident for voer 20 years they just give us diffrent ways to aproach situation and enviroment turn on/off certain genes as for communisim well from cuba to china to russia it has worked and complety failed but imagian one capitalist state trying to survive in a world dominated by communism
