Major Kong. I thought was Kim Jong-un.

Although you live in America...

Slim Pickens, he was one of the greatest, all-time character actors, 90% westerns though, but this wasn't one of them.

Wow, I saw Homer from The Simpsons in a clip like this btw.

"Simply put, logistics dictate it's success."

Quite true, but not just for communism! That statement can be applied to capitalism as well.

Logistics depends on infrastructure, however.

The United States provides several examples: the US railway network, the Eisenhower Interstate Highway System, air freight, even the many barges on the Mississippi River.

Pretty much all of that infrastructure was originally put in place to move goods from source to market as efficiently as possible at the time.

actually communism works perfectly in small doses, it's just got a personnel threshold. there's never been a successful communist culture above 250 people, but under that it has a very high success rate. Simply put, logistics dictate it's success.

All systems in their purest form are impractical my point was just that the american government at the time gave communism a bad rep in a suspiciously propaganda style way, probably to distract people from the fact they were being over taxed.

Anarchy implies a desire for or state of non-governance. Even if you're revolting, you're technically governed by the people you're revolting against until they lose... So your statement hasn't quite made sense there.

[TakeoShigure]

Communism's impractical solely based on the fact that there's no REWARD for doing your part... And you also quickly run out of other people's money to spend.

[Rotem Orbach]

Thumbs up if you came here because of the movie Armageddon..

[HeartbrokenOtaku]

I have a feeling Kim Jong Un will do this if he somehow makes it here with a nuke.

[Sean Cook]

I watch this and feel closer, almost in love with the Bomb!
