  • Read the Communist Manifesto for a good definition of what communism is. It hasn't happened yet. Communism is a classless society sans a government. It's never been achieved.

    The communism you're pointing to is your own definition based on the state capitalist economies of the old Soviet Union and China. With that said, Western propaganda is not to be believed. There are two sides to every story.

  • @weavermama

    Beyond the failure of his own ideas Milton Freidman never successfully demonstrated anything in his life. Capitalism and democracy are antithetical to one another and this is news? In many ways Friedman was an intellectual cretin, but I think his career goes a long way to explaining why the right wing is in a tail spin.

  • @jazzbo66zz Southeast Asia, which followed Friedman's economic thinking and the whole of the laissez-faire capitalist West beg to differ.

    P.S. Last time I checked Singapore was doing just a wee bit better than Cuba ;)

  • @ilkkavu Not a very spirited defense of Communism indeed lol.

  • @ilkkavu You would've looooved Nazi Germany I tell you ;)

  • Lots of communist enthusiasts I see. Didn't you guys take History courses at school? Communism has been the most ineffective, despotic and murderous social system in modern times. Sure, Stalin, Mao and Pol Pot are not "real" communists... keep pipe-dreaming to your abstractions about communism fellas...

  • @romeosevendelta NIce dodge.

  • @Antiks72

    Clear enough that you can't dispute the point anyway. Have a good one...

  • @romeosevendelta Ad hominem, back at ya.

  • @Antiks72

    Just because it doesn't work doesn't mean it hasn't happened. Grow up.
