Capitalism or Communism? Is communism really that horrible?

[boilermaker55]

And unbridled capitalism is not corrupt.
Think again.

Ideal communism, Most or all communism is corrupted. And i dont belive ideal capitalism exist either.

Marx knew nothing of fascism, which was developed after his death by one of his own adherents, Benito Mussolini..

Incorrect.

Mussolini may have been the first to use the word "fascism" to describe a system where the states regulates the economy.

But regardless of what it was called before it was still fascism.

Incorrect.

The Feudal system absolutely had the state control the economy, but it was not fascism.

Of course it was. The King or the Lord decided what was best for the fiefdom.

No nation has ever practiced Communism and any witless attempt to dismiss such a fact is exactly that.
Totalitarianism and Authoritarianism are NOT Communism.

Ignorant fool.

There's nothing more intellectually stimulating than an ad hominem.

I did not comment on the veracity of Communism, Socialism or Anarchy.
The US has always been mostly Capitalistic in terms of ownership and commerce but it is obvious that the closer we are to practicing Anarchic Capitalism, the bigger the eventual crash.

And for the ever ignorant amongst us, Capitalism is an aspect of economic policy, not political policy.

If only the buyer and seller have influence on the deal, how can it be corrupt?

The reason the left hates true capitalism is because it is incorruptible. A system where looting is impossible locks them out.

Under Communism you will be told where to live, the amount of education you will be given, the job you will be assigned to and what you income will be. There will be no real Unions. Your entire life will be controlled by the Communist leaders. Suspicion of being disloyal is enough to be executed.

You would have to be a complete idiot living in a delusional world to prefer living under a Communist Government. Talk to the people who lived under Communism and are now free.

That's Totalitarianism or Authoritarianism.
It seems to work well enough for us in China where we sent our production infrastructure.

Could you please quote the source of your definition of Communism?

Yeah, it's the totalitarianism of China that's made their economy take off, rather than the introduction of free-market forces and capitalism there.

Does it hurt to be as stupid as you are? Because it should.

It must suck to be so terrified of allowing other people to be free.

Communism is a killer. And yet some still say they support the idea: According to a 2011 Rasmussen poll, 11% of Americans think that communism would better serve this country’s needs than our current system.

 

[daveman]

If the state OWNS the means of production then you have communism.

If they REGULATE the means of production you have fascism.


.

Technically, Communism is the condition that exists once the state "fades away" and the means of production are communally owned.

Of course the American left seeks only the dictatorship of the proletariat, or phase one of the plan.

And each and every one of them sees himself not as a prole, but one of the "more equal" animals.

From 2012:

Under Obama, 11,327 Pages of Federal Regulations Added | CNS News

From this year:

PAPER NIGHTMARE! 20,000 Pages of Federal Regulations Create Obamacare Tower (Photo) | The Gateway Pundit

Over 30,000 pages of regulation just by the Obama Administration proves that anyone who says we're nearing Anarchic Capitalism is utterly disconnected from reality.
