Communism: Why it isn't the best alternative to Capitalism.

This is for all those Communists out there who claim moral superiority over Nazis, Fascists and Capitalists.

My analysis of Communism today goes like this: The modern "communist" movement, content with the pageantry of totalitarian dictators of yesteryear, and insisting on refighting old battles is unintentional self-parody. First World "communists" spend more time cheerleading for Third World dictators (who, let's face it, are hardly examples of true, honest Communists to begin with) then actually bothering to agitate and organize among the proletariat that they claim to give a damn about. Like the snows of yesteryear, the Soviet Union is gone from this earth. Deal with it. Instead of accepting this fact, and critically analyzing the doctrine(s) of Marxism-Leninism(s), much of the communist movement has instead retrenched into fantasy land, determined to shut out the lessons of history. They have yet to offer up anything in terms of real solutions to fix the system. At best, they have effectively become self-saboteurs - sabotaging their own movement to satisfy their own petty and insane desires.

Their beloved Marx said himself: "The tradition of all dead generations weighs like a nightmare on the brains of the living. And just as they seem to be occupied with revolutionizing themselves and things, creating something that did not exist before, precisely in such epochs of revolutionary crisis they anxiously conjure up the spirits of the past to their service, borrowing from them names, battle slogans, and costumes in order to present this new scene in world history in time-honored disguise and borrowed language." (The 18th Brumaire of Louis Bonaparte, MECW, XI, 103)

Bumping elbows on the collective farm might be an enriching experience, but if it takes bayonets in everyone's back to get there, it's time to rethink the plan, don't you think? Then again, how much rethinking can you do to make people believe that, yes, Communism can "work" when even people in Communist parties have been known to wipe their asses with Marx's Manifesto?

[TheCanadianPrairies]

@Unknownguy6142

Stalin industrialized Russia. That doesn't validate Communism's supposed worth.

Nor does China's advances. Look at non-Communist countries like Japan.

[Unknownguy6142]

@TheCanadianPrairies the chinese communist party promised a industrialised china right? a new china? and thats what they got? they are changing rapidly and being more advanced

[TheCanadianPrairies]

@Unknownguy6142

They also have political and religious repression as well as selling out their people to American corporations for cheap labor at practically slave labor prices.

Really advanced, eh?

@darknessb930

If Communism isn't a totalitarian ideology, it is a horrible idea built on the naivety of idealists with bloody hands.

[darknessb930]

So, communism is bad? Dictators used the term communism because it sounded much better than "dictatorship". There's nothing wrong with communism but rather over the time, people have mistaken the term communism, and most people now view communism as a very ill type of ideology.

@TheCanadianPrairies True indeed, and as I was saying in my comment about human nature (greed) capitalism won't really fade away in society since a lot of people act so needy. I'm not a fan of capitalism, but that's seems to be the reality, that it's here to stay.
