Is communism as bad as people say

oh theres no question history is extremely important in this, but just a side note, there is an element of truth in the saying,' history is written in the words of the victor'!

we must actually accept, our modern form of capatalism is actually based on pure bulls1ht beliefs and understanding of the world, in particular human behavior, but theres many other truly disturbing beliefs beliefs wrapped up in it.

theres actually no need for these type of outcomes, property and health care, we actually know how to build, and we have a far better understanding of human needs, physically, psychologically, emotionally etc etc, and how to provide them, including in care, but........

we must actually accept, the metrics we use to measure such outcomes, are actually no longer fit for purpose, the methods we use to measure, are actually no longer working, we havent actually advanced these methods, in relation to our advancements in our understanding of our world and our needs. whats actually happening is, we re in severe decline in regards our emotionally and psychological needs, and this is reveling itself in increasing social dysfunctions

According to western wannabe communists (or true communists) that was not "true communism" and not even "true socialism".

Nah. This is not problem of capitalism alone. This is how we function basically from start. Things are always easier at the start and then as system grow it become dysfunctional due to more and more regulations and attempt to keep everyone somehow content or pleased.

Then when it become untenable we usually see wars and coups and uprisings - a sort of a reset which allow us to start again only to fluck it up again.

true, dysfunction occurs for various different reasons, but there is truth in, a truly unregulated world would be un-survivable for all, but some regulations certainly make no sense at all, we constantly need to change our regulatory systems in relation to our changing world, but we re clearly now in a state of rapid decline for all, including for the wealthy

theres actually no real need for the type of reset you mentioned, theres actually a good chance if we do indeed engage in the types you mentioned, particular war, that would probably be the end of our species, due to the development of modern war tech. we could use the approaches to war though, to truly prevent it, we rarely say in such situations, 'we cant afford to go to war', only when we do! we ve figured out how to create vast quantities of money with relative ease, we just havent figured out how to re-distribute it very well, figure that out, and there would probably be no need for the war bit

ah shur look, society needs a lot more than just academically trained people, we re painfully figuring that one out

communism isnt coming back, we need to move on from this

Just saying tax the rich is not communist

this is exactly the problem with communism ,

its a great idea on paper but incompatible with humanity

Count the number of Communist countries left, that'll give you your answer OP.

I'm aware.

Communism is a fashion statement a the minute, it isn't actually going to happen, people need to accept that.

America. Communism/ Socialism / Anarchism are the "in" cool views to ascribe to at the minute with younger people who I would wager don't have much knowledge of the ideologies they claim to support for the most part. It's counter culture stuff thats been going on forever its just communisms/ socialisms turn now.

"I've yet to meet anyone from Eastern Europe who thinks Communism was anything but a disaster for them."

Not that clear cut :

"Most Poles, Czechs and Lithuanians, and more than four-in-ten Hungarians and Slovaks, believe the economic situation for most people in their country today is better than it was under communism .... However, in Russia, Ukraine and Bulgaria, more than half currently say things are worse for most people now than during the communist era."

“each person contributes and receives according to their ability and needs.”

so If you say are single, busting your hole, upskilling, ‘flexible’...but living at home..

youll get paid less then a cûnt who has no interest, no motivation, no get up and go, no aptitude or want to learn, a non performing son of a gun...but because his need is to feed a family of five and what not....

been in a job where dicks like that were ‘looked after’... procreation was a passport to happyville for them..

I'd like to see a system where there are sensible min / max salaries for 99%* of all jobs, say (and this is a non scientific quick example) min 30,000 max 80,000 ..... everyone has a wage that will sustain them, there is less inequality, yet room to aspire to a "better" (by which we normally mean well-paid) job. Never happen I know, but still.

* Why 99% ? There are always going to be a few roles usually associated with fame like sports / movies / etc that will fetch more. What I'm talking about is your bus driver, doctor, IT worker, waiter, etc.
