IDEALISTICALLY communism works but this world is not ideal it and never will be. The only thing communism creates is a corrupt proletariat and the USSR is a perfect example of that. Marx can eat a dick, Lenin can eat a dick, Mother Russia can eat a dick. Otherwise go move to Vietnam and live in a hut

So posting on my profile "kill yourself" is the epitome of the communist intellectual who doesn't like to be challenged? Communists massacred 66 million Christians in Russia and got away with it

[Reza ilumifis]

66 MILLION????? HOLY TWAT FUCKING WAFFLES. Someone call Guiness. Russia would have to kill half it's population to do this and those are some believable estimates. My granmother is a Christian and nothing ever happened to her. It's because of Pussies like you WE lost in Afghanistan (got that off of Con-Air movie with Nic cage)

[Reza ilumifis]

Your family is just a bunch of pussies and can go to Hell.

Ohh rly? I'm sure you've lived long enough in the Soviet Union to draw Conclusions about their leaders...How many years is it you've lived their 20,10,5? Exactly idiot.George Washington can eat a dick.Benjamin Franklin can eat a dick. USA can eat a dick. Otherwise go live in Iraq-the hell you created. Your country also invaded=Guatemala, twice,Cuba,Dominican Republic,Grenada,Korea,Lebanon­,Vietnam Laos,Cambodia,Iran, twice,Libya, thrice,Panama,Somali,Yugoslavi­a,Bosnia,Kosovo,Afghanistan,Ni­caragua

[SolsburyHill22]

I'm neither, I promise! I just don't like seeing people live in the gutter, seeing wars or violence...what does that make me?

no good ideology has implemented has the leaders become corrupted.

[SolsburyHill22]

I'm saying NO good ideology can be implemented as it should have been as every leader turns corrupt....Humans always get corrupted by power and greed.

[SolsburyHill22]

So stop the hostility to anyone who doesn't agree with your political opinions because you give yourself a bad name, use facts, intellect not insults about me killing myself because you wouldn't dare say what you said to my face...that's the trouble with the internet it breeds cowards.

My family are Russian, they got out to the UK to escape the communist dictatorship in the 40s because they where Christian. You haven't the faintest idea what happened there in the gulags. So that's why I have a chip on my shoulder about communist regimes, is the fact it's nothing more than a a vehicle to massacre people.

Communism has a good structure but the people at the top never implemented it. just formed a dictatorship.The few controlling the many, like Nazism, Capitalism and Fascism.
